Highlighted Reviews
"Arthroxigen is really helping our senior mini horse recover from some painful muscles and joints related to a history of laminitis and current Cushing's (PPID). There was definitely a difference after she started taking it in her physical comfort and her appetite got better too!"
"Unfortunately, this has not helped with arthritis at all. And it’s too expensive to keep feeding it without any results."

Consider this supplement if your horse has specific joint issues and you are willing to experiment. However, be prepared for mixed results and a significant financial investment.
