How It Works
How It Works
This formula targets multiple pathways involved in joint health and muscle recovery. MSM provides sulfur for connective tissue repair, while glucosamine supports cartilage structure and hyaluronic acid helps maintain joint fluid viscosity. Antioxidants protect cells from damage while magnesium supports normal muscle contraction and relaxation.
Who It's For
Performance horses in training or competition. Older horses showing signs of stiffness or reduced flexibility. Working horses that need extra joint and muscle support.
Who It's Not For
This is a high-potency formula designed for horses with significant joint support needs. Horses with minimal activity levels may not require this strength.
About This Product
Purica Equine Recovery Extra Strength is a powdered mobility formula for horses, made in Canada and sold here in a 5 kg (11 lb) pail and a 1 kg (2.2 lb) resealable pouch. It is top-dressed on feed, and the dose is set by the horse's body weight.
What is in each scoop
One 26 g scoop (two tablespoons) carries 10,000 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride and 10,000 mg of MSM. It adds 2,185 mg of magnesium ascorbate, 1,000 mg of betaine hydrochloride and 650 mg of grape seed extract (Vitis vinifera), a source of proanthocyanidins. Vitamin E as d-alpha tocopheryl acetate gives 750 IU, and sodium hyaluronate gives 200 mg of hyaluronic acid. Dicalcium phosphate, maltodextrin, silicon dioxide and modified food starch are the excipients.
Two sizes
The 1 kg pouch suits a single pony or a trial run. An average horse on half a scoop twice a day uses 26 g daily, so the pouch lasts about 38 days and the 5 kg pail about 190 days. The pail has a carry handle and a lid that closes tight between feeds.
How to feed it
Top-dress the powder on feed twice a day. Start with half the dose in week one and move to the full dose in week two. Ponies and small horses of 150 to 300 kg take a quarter scoop (6.5 g) twice daily; average horses of 301 to 600 kg take half a scoop (13 g) twice daily; large horses over 600 kg take a full scoop (26 g) twice daily.
Who it suits
Owners use it for horses in regular work, horses coming back to work after time off, and older horses in light riding. It is a veterinary health product and not an animal feed, so it is not mixed into commercial feed and is not for animals intended for food. The label rules it out for pregnant or lactating mares, anxious horses and horses on anticoagulants unless a veterinarian directs otherwise.
Purica Equine Recovery Extra Strength FAQ
How much do I give a 500 kg horse?
Half a scoop (13 g) twice a day, after a week at half that amount.
Can I mix it into a bagged feed?
Top-dress it on the ration instead. The label says it may not be incorporated into a mixed feed.
Does the scoop come in the pack?
The dose is written as a 26 g scoop, equal to two tablespoons, so a kitchen tablespoon works if the scoop is missing.
Is there a pet version?
Yes. Pet Recovery Extra Strength is the dog and cat formula, sold as chewable tablets and powder.
