Nutrition for Joint Recovery and Performance 

There are many factors that influence athletic performance including joint and muscular function. Training naturally places stress on both joints and muscles and this is where nutrition plays a key role. Nutrition is a powerful tool for managing inflammation, facilitating recovery and supporting repair and regeneration at a cellular level. 

Oral nutritional supplements when used in a targeted manner can help horses adapt to training, recover better and support continued performance for the long term. 

Part one of this two-part series focuses on joint health and the role of nutrition. In the next issue the role of oral nutritional supplements for soft tissue recovery will be discussed.
