powerful expectorant effect to lift mucous where it can be expelled
removing congestion allows for easier breathing 
hastens recovery

can be used alongside medications to support the airways and breathing
How does congestion occur?

Airways in horses become congested in response to airborne particles such as dust, pollen and moulds.

It is crucial to free the airway of inhaled particulates and also to ward of the potential for secondary bacterial infections.

Blocked or congested airways not only cause distress but can, in turn, cause chronic or acute conditions such as heaves to equine pneumonia.

Mucous can also be triggered in response to an allergen.

This is the bodies attempt to capture the particles where the body can then remove.

However, when congestion is thick it may need the help of a product like Expel to assist in removal.

It is best practise to reduce the mucus and take practical steps to reduce allergens.

In some cases, horses also require Expel with coughs and colds, freeing mucus from the airway.

Devils claw for horses in a pure, high quality concentrate powder form.

This high strength -powder is ten times stronger than regular devils’ claw. Ordinary devils’ claw for horse’s contains around 1% active harpagoside, whereas our powder contains a standardized 10 % harpagoside.

Understanding Harpagoside in devils’ claw for horses:

Devils claw contains glucosides, with the most important active known as harpagoside.

This compound exhibits anti-inflammatory effects providing potential benefits for inflammatory related conditions.

The amount of devils’ claw and the active of harpagoside are different.

The level of harpagoside must be standardized and laboratory tested to determine its value.

The value of harpagoside for horses should be 385 mg- 770 mg daily or as high as 1500-2500 mg daily for more painful conditions.

What is the dose for NPC devils’ claw?

  3 grams delivers 300g harpagoside
  6 grams delivers 600 mg harpagoside  
  15 grams delivers 1500 mg harpagoside 
  25 grams delivers 2500 mg harpagoside
Regular devils claw powder at a dose of 30 grams delivers around 300 mg harpagoside active.  

To achieve 1500 mg harpagoside then 150 grams of powder would be required. If 2500 mg were required then 250 grams of regular devils claw would be needed.

NPC devils’ claw for horses is therefore more concentrated in harpagoside content, is consistently tested to ensure the standardized level.

The amount required is much less to achieve more benefits, keeping it palatable also for your horse.

We recommend the higher dose (of 15 g-25 g) if the inflammation is high.

Why quality matters

Most devils claw powders are of unknown active as they are dried and chopped root but typically are around 1 % harpagoside.

NPC devil’s claw is a standardized, concentrated root powder tested with each batch to ensure harpagoside content.  

It is then ground and kept fresh in an air-tight pack where it can be administered direct into the feed.

This popular natural supplement for horses helps to support ease of movement, free up stiff horses to older horses and those that need extra support.

Glucosamine for horses and dogs offering premium high quality and purity powder.

Certified ultra-pure, 99.9% Glucosamine Sulphate tested to USP, the highest pharmaceutical grade with no fillers or other additives.

Glucosamine Sulphate or Glucosamine Hydrochloride? which is best to use?

Glucosamine Sulphate is the preferred form of Glucosamine over Hydrochloride as most clinical studies have used the sulphate version.

However, the body uses both the same way, where the stomach acid splits Glucosamine from the (Hydrochloride or Sulphate) molecule to free glucosamine that can be used by the body.

What does Glucosamine do for joints?

Glucosamine benefits joints for horses and dogs by providing nutritional building blocks and nutrition for healthy joint cartilage and synovial fluids. Therefore, maintains healthy joint cartilage in horses and canines alike.

The ends of equine and canine joints are coated in articular cartilage which cushions joint surfaces and prevents the friction of the two bones coming into contact, this cartilage must therefore stay healthy, hydrated and nourished to remain durable and resilient.

Cartilage gets its nourishment from the synovial fluid by way of glycosaminoglycans, these of which are best known as glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate.

By supplying these in your horses or dogs feed the body can therefore utilize in order to maintain healthy joints.

Do I need MSM with Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is beneficial and recommended in conjunction with MSM to further protect joints by providing a counter effect to inflammation where it helps to reduce inflammatory markers.

What is the dose of Glucosamine for horses and dogs?

Horse dose per 500 Kg bodyweight:  10,000 mg – 12,000 mg     High dose: 15,000 mg
