Health Horse GERIATRIC GG Nutri-Bites

With Glucosamine, Devils Claw and Marshmallow Root, GERIATRIC GG Nutri-Bites are the best healthy snack for your lovely old geriatric horse or pony, naturally helping with aches and pains, maintaining joints and assisting with gut health (at a time where cushings is most at risk).

One of the most impacted parts of the horse when it comes to old age is the gastrointestinal tract health. These Nutri-Bites contain Marshmallow Root (Althaea Officinalis) which helps relieve inflammation of the respiratory and digestive tract while also being an aid to soothe gastric linings.

These Nutri-Bites contain a natural herbal supplement known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and used for many centuries in traditional medicine to help relieve pain. Multiple studies have shown that Devil’s Claw (Harpagoside) can help reduce joint inflammation and improve mobility, so it was a no brainer that these Nutri-Bites were formulated with this in mind!

Unlike Bute, Devil’s Claw has fewer potential side effects and is often preferred by horse owners looking for a more natural approach to pain relief – particularly for long-term use. This is perfect for your older horse to keep them more comfortable.

As Osteoarthritis is usually more prominent at an older age after a life of wear and tear, the Glucosamine contained in these Nutri-Bites is the perfect companion to Devils Claw, helping to maintain joints. Glucosamine is converted to GAGS which is the natural chemical. As a horse ages, their natural levels of GAGS are reduced and in turn, the cartilage dries out and becomes hardened. By increasing their glucosamine levels, the cushioning effect will return, helping maintain joint health and ultimately creating a more comfortable horse in the most convenient way that your horse will LOVE you for – Nutri-Bites!

Because these Nutri-Bites contain Devils Claw, a natural remedy for pain relief and inflammation, its properties (Harpagoside) are currently on the FEI Banned Substances list. GERIATRRIC GG Nutri-Bites are not intended to be used on horses or ponies competing in any event that falls under these rules but fear not – it is safe to use for non-registered competitions!
