GCS Max Joint Care 1.8kg Tub is an advanced nutritional joint supplement formulated specifically for sport and performance horses. Developed by a team of veterinarians and animal scientists, GCS Max provides a comprehensive combination of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, Type II collagen, MSM, manganese and vitamin C, together with essential minerals.

For the Shopify listing, the feeding rate should therefore be taken directly from the manufacturer's current label rather than estimated.

Important Information

Joint supplementation should form part of a broader approach to equine health, including appropriate exercise, nutrition, weight management and veterinary assessment where required.

If your horse has an existing joint condition or is receiving veterinary treatment, consult your equine veterinarian for advice on its individual nutritional and management requirements.

For competition horses, always check the current rules of the relevant governing body before introducing any supplement.
