On Demand Content

Today's on demand content is provided by our partners at Adequan. Active horses need healthy cartilage to maintain joint function. In joints with degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis, the complex process of cartilage repair is unable to keep up with damage. This video from Adequan explains the process of cartilage breakdown and how Adequan can help reduce inflammation, restore joint lubrication, repair cartilage, and reverse the disease cycle.
