MSM is an equine supplement used to promote joint health, connective tissue strength and post-exercise care. It has antioxidant properties that can support performance, protect against oxidative stress and help keep your horse feeling their best!
MSM
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural compound that contains sulfur in a highly bioavailable form. Sulfur is an important component of glucosamine and collagen, helping to maintain healthy connective tissue and cartilage in your horse.
Research also shows that MSM has antioxidant properties and can improve recovery from heavy work. In one study of performance horses, it was shown to reduce biomarkers of oxidative stress following intense exercise. [1]
Your horse’s diet may naturally provide small amounts of MSM because this compound is found in fresh forage and grains. However, the amounts that are naturally present in feed are generally too low to provide any benefits, making supplementation necessary.
You should always consult a qualified nutritionist before altering your feed program. Submit your horse’s diet for analysis online and one of our equine nutritionists will be happy to provide a complementary review.
