Most people concentrate on joint health by looking at cartilage damage, swelling, and problems with movement. Still, there’s a chance that the missing key to successful joint recovery is found in the gut rather than in the joints. It is now suggested by research and practical field work that joint supplements and therapies work best when a horse’s digestive system is healthy.
The Importance of Gut Health Goes Far Beyond What We Believe
The system in a horse’s body is specially designed to get nutrients from the fibrous foods it eats. Still, today’s ways of feeding, daily stress, the use of antibiotics, and the animal’s age can upset that delicate balance. If the gut lining is swollen or bacteria in the gut are not in balance, your digestive system might not absorb the nutrients in the best supplements.
That’s a problem for anyone trying to recover from joint pain. Glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen need to be well absorbed so they can assist the tissues they are intended for. Having poor gut health could prevent the body from moving vital compounds to the areas that lack them.
How Systemic Enzymes Help Improve Digestion and Joints
Precision Joint Solution stands out because it includes Arto-Velox™, a special blend of systemic enzymes. At the same time, these enzymes support the gut by breaking down protein remains, decreasing toxic buildup in the body, and keeping the inside clean. Both actions—lessening inflammation throughout the body and helping digestion—may greatly improve the comfort and movement of older horses.
Inflammation and the Relationship between the Gut and Joints
Inflammation can occur in places other than joints too. It may also damage the gut walls, which is called “leaky gut” in horses. This condition makes it possible for toxins and undigested particles to reach the bloodstream, which leads to even more inflammation, usually in the joints. Problems in the gut cause joints to become inflamed, and the inflammation in joints then puts stress on the gut.
For this reason, Precision Joint Solution supports leg health in many areas and makes the environment in your pet’s body suitable for natural recovery.
The Takeaway
Taking care of joints requires looking at other factors too. Good digestion is necessary for us to absorb nutrients well, keep inflammation down, and recover over time. Should your horse still have movement problems after taking a good joint supplement, it might be wise to look at what else could be causing these challenges.
The Precision Joint Solution was made to address the interconnected aspects of the body. If you treat inflammation and absorption at the same time, your horse will heal as well as improve in movement.
