Meniscus problems in horses can occur when a meniscus in the knee joint becomes damaged or overloaded. The menisci play an important role in distributing and absorbing forces and contribute to the stability of the joint.
In the event of damage or overload to a meniscus, a horse may show lameness, stiffness or reduced comfort of movement. The symptoms can vary and are not always immediately recognisable as a meniscus problem.
Recovery from a meniscus injury can be lengthy. A good diagnosis, veterinary guidance, an appropriate rehabilitation programme and a careful increase in exercise are therefore essential.
What can Unique FX15 do for meniscus problems?
Unique FX15 Mobility Booster can a damaged meniscus not heal, but can be used as additional nutritional support for the musculoskeletal system during recovery and rehabilitation.
Unique FX15 combines various building blocks and nutrients that fit within the support of joints, cartilage and connective tissue:
MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate form part of the broad support for joints and cartilage.
Collagen is an important structural protein that occurs naturally in cartilage, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissue, among other things.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in joint fluid and connective tissue and therefore fits within the support of fluid movement.
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that plays an important role in protein synthesis and the building and maintenance of body tissue.
In addition, Unique FX15 contains linseed oil, vitamins C, D3 and E, and herbal extracts of nettle, olibanum and turmeric as part of the broad formula.
Particularly during an extended recovery and rehabilitation period, it is important not to focus solely on the affected meniscus. The joint, surrounding structures and the musculoskeletal system as a whole are also put under strain.
Therefore, Unique FX15 focuses on comprehensive support for mobility, flexibility and everyday movement comfort.
When can Unique FX15 be used?
- As additional support during a veterinary-guided rehabilitation programme
- In horses with a diagnosed meniscal problem
- During the gradual buildup of movement and load
- For horses that could use extra support for the stifle, joints and musculoskeletal system
FX15 is supplementary nutritional support and not a treatment for meniscus injury. In the event of lameness or suspected meniscus problems, examination by a vet is necessary.
