Equine Musculoskeletal Support- Organic/Kosher
Equine Musculoskeletal Support
Equine Musculoskeletal Support is a targeted, whole-systems herbal blend designed to support the structural integrity and functional health of the musculoskeletal system. This formula addresses bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and connective tissues by supporting not only physical structure, but also circulation, inflammation regulation, immune balance, and tissue repair.
While preventative musculoskeletal support is already included in Equine Essentials Daily with Adaptive Musculoskeletal Support, and more advanced age-related support is built into Senior Core Essentials, this blend is intended as a focused musculoskeletal formulation for horses needing deeper or more direct structural support. This includes horses in medium to heavy work, horses recovering from injury, horses showing stiffness or reduced range of motion, and horses experiencing chronic or recurring musculoskeletal stress.
Rather than masking discomfort, Wholehearted Harmony approaches musculoskeletal health through a systems-based lens, recognizing that tissue breakdown, inflammation, and stiffness are often driven by mineral imbalance, poor circulation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, and inadequate connective tissue repair. When these underlying systems are supported, the body is better able to rebuild, stabilize, and maintain healthy movement.
This updated formulation includes both cut & sifted herbs and powdered herbs, provided in two separate bags, to offer layered support. Cut & sifted herbs provide long-term nourishment and structural support, while powdered herbs deliver concentrated support for inflammatory balance and tissue recovery.
Rooted in a species-appropriate, forage-first framework, Equine Musculoskeletal Support works best when paired with a whole-food diet that prioritizes quality forage, mineral balance, and appropriate workload management. This blend may be used preventatively or short-term during increased physical demand, and may also be layered thoughtfully with other blends when appropriate.
