MSM+ - What does the plus + stand for? The plus stands for the 3 herbs we have added to the MSM. Why have we added herbs? Having identified MSM’s actions within the body, our herbalist felt she could further enhance and improve on these actions by adding Yarrow, Cleaver and Meadowsweet. These herbs were chosen for their ability to support strong joints, muscles and connective tissue.

What is MSM and what does it do within the horses body?
MSM is a naturally occurring organic sulphur that is found in grains and grasses. Organic sulphur is vital and concentrations within the body should be high, especially in older animals or horses and ponies undertaking strenuous or intense training programmes.
MSM is necessary for the correct synthesis of amino acids, vitamins and chondroitin sulphates which are responsible for supporting joint lubrication. MSM also supplies bio available sulphur to various types of tissues within the body including: connective tissue, and the tissue needed to support healthy lungs, bone, blood, tendons, hooves and skin.
Unfortunately MSM is destroyed by heating, long term storage, exposure to air, and during the feed manufacturing process. This can mean that horses and ponies who have limited access to grazing, or whose diet relies heavily on processed feeds, may be deficient in this vital compound.
How can I give MSM?
Fortunately MSM can be easily given to horses.
When administered at the recommended levels our MSM + plus will ensure your horse is receiving the necessary requirement to support the health and integrity of joints, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissue.
