Herbs:

Turmeric with Black Pepper (Powder)

Turmeric is best known for its active compound, curcumin, which provides powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support. It supports joint comfort, circulation, and overall mobility, while also benefiting heart health, liver function, and immune balance. Turmeric is commonly used to help ease stiffness, arthritis-related discomfort, and inflammatory stress throughout the body. A small amount of black pepper is included to enhance absorption and effectiveness. Nutritionally, turmeric provides vitamin B6, vitamin C, manganese, iron, potassium, omega-3s, and fiber.

Boswellia Serrata (Powder)

Boswellia, also known as frankincense, supports joint movement and mobility by helping maintain healthy cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues. It is especially beneficial for stiff or sore joints and supports normal inflammatory signaling without suppressing the body’s natural healing processes. Boswellia also supports digestive health, helping firm loose droppings and support normal colon function, and may benefit respiratory and liver health. Its naturally occurring anti-inflammatory terpenes contribute to tissue regeneration, immune support, and protection against oxidative stress.

Cut & Sifted Herbs

Amalaki / Amla Berry

Amla is India’s traditional superfruit and one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally used as a rejuvenating tonic, amla supports overall vitality and long-term wellness. It contains ten to thirty times the vitamin C of an orange and is rich in amino acids, pectin, and antioxidant-dense polyphenols such as tannins and gallic acid. Amla supports healthy inflammatory balance, digestion, heart health, immune function, and tissue regeneration. This herb is a true powerhouse, supporting whole-body resilience and repair in senior horses, while also being widely valued for dogs, cats, and humans.

Nettle Leaf

Nettle is a deeply nutritive tonic herb rich in iron and vitamin C, traditionally used to cleanse and support the blood. High in minerals, including silica, nettle supports strong bones, joints, connective tissue, hooves, and overall structural integrity. It is commonly fed to horses with arthritis, rheumatism, laminitis, or general stiffness and supports circulation, detoxification, and long-term resilience in senior horses.

Gotu Kola

Gotu kola is a cooling, restorative herb well known for supporting connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and wound repair. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it especially valuable for arthritis and musculoskeletal stress. Gotu kola supports circulation to tissues and provides nutrients including B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and antioxidant compounds such as carotenoids and flavonoids, making it a key herb for structural repair and longevity.

Bilberry

Bilberry is rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that support circulation, tissue oxygenation, and overall vascular health. It provides anti-inflammatory support and helps maintain healthy connective tissues. Bilberry also supplies vitamins A and C along with B-complex vitamins, contributing to tissue nourishment and long-term musculoskeletal and systemic support.

White Willow Bark

White willow bark has been traditionally used for pain and discomfort, acting in a manner similar to aspirin. It supports relief from muscle and joint discomfort associated with arthritis, stiffness, and overuse. Willow bark has a long history of use for musculoskeletal pain and supports comfort while allowing the body to continue its natural healing processes.

Cat’s Claw

Cat’s claw is valued for its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. It supports joint comfort, muscle recovery, and chronic inflammatory conditions by helping regulate immune response and increasing white blood cell activity. Cat’s claw is often used when deeper tissue and joint support is needed beyond surface-level pain relief.

Eleuthero (or Dong Quai when substituted)

Eleuthero supports resilience, stamina, and recovery under physical and age-related stress. It helps enhance circulation to tissues, supports the immune system, and assists the body in adapting to ongoing structural demands. When dong quai is used instead, it serves a similar role by supporting blood flow, muscle relaxation, and connective tissue nourishment. Only one of these herbs is included at a time, based on availability, without altering dosage or intent.

Hawthorn Berry

Hawthorn is a classic heart tonic that supports cardiovascular health, circulation, and endurance. It helps maintain healthy blood flow, supports stamina, and contributes to overall energy levels, especially in senior horses. Hawthorn also provides antioxidant support and nutrients including vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron, making it an important herb for long-term vitality.

Ginger Root

Ginger supports healthy inflammatory response, circulation, and digestion. It is commonly used to support joint comfort, reduce stiffness, and improve nutrient absorption. Ginger also supports immune function and metabolic balance and provides nutritional components including vitamins B and C, magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, and phosphorus.

Celery Seed

Celery seed supports joint comfort, circulation, and metabolic balance. It has traditionally been used to support fluid movement in the body and assist with stiffness and musculoskeletal tension, making it a valuable supportive herb in daily senior and mobility blends.

Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast supports gut health by promoting beneficial microbes, stabilizing hindgut pH, and improving digestion and nutrient absorption. It provides a natural source of B vitamins, protein, and minerals, supporting hoof health, immune function, energy, and recovery. This ingredient helps create a resilient digestive environment, especially beneficial for senior horses and those under physical stress.
