Equine America Kentucky Liquid Joint Solution 1L

Equine America Kentucky Liquid Supplement – 1 litre

Kentucky Liquid is the glucosamine member of Equine America's joint range and the one with the highest single active load: 5,000mg of glucosamine HCl in a 30ml dose, with 2,000mg of MSM, 480mg of marine collagen and 84mg of hyaluronic acid behind it. Vitamin C and a little Boswellia round it out.

The glucosamine is declared as being derived from crustaceans, which is worth knowing before it goes anywhere near a yard with a shellfish policy. At 30ml a day a one-litre bottle runs to about 60 days, and the dose can be doubled for a horse in intense work.

Performance & Benefits

• Glucosamine HCl at 5,000mg per 30ml dose, declared at 16.67% of the bottle.
• MSM 2,000mg per dose, declared at 6.67%.
• Marine hydrolysed collagen 480mg and hyaluronic acid 84mg per dose.
• Vitamin C 168mg and Boswellia extract 84mg per dose.
• Dosing scales with work: 15ml in light work, 30ml in full work, up to 30ml twice daily in intense exercise.
• Xanthan gum keeps the actives in suspension, so the bottle measures out evenly.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies in anything from light hacking to a full competition schedule.
• Horses with accumulated wear and tear on joint cartilage.
• Owners who want glucosamine rather than a collagen-led formula.
• Yards feeding a liquid over a feed rather than a powder.
• Not the right choice where crustacean-derived ingredients must be avoided — Equine America's Cortaflex HA Regular Strength Solution is a marine collagen formula with no glucosamine.

Feeding

• 500kg horse in light work: 15ml per day. In full work: 30ml per day.
• In intense exercise: up to 30ml twice daily. Maximum 60ml per day.
• A 1 litre bottle is a 60-day supply at the 30ml rate.
• Fed at recommended levels the product contains controlled levels of MSM, a threshold substance under the Rules of Racing.
• Equine America code 254-UK.
