EQUAAN1000 SUPPOSITORIES
Ten RECTAL ovules per box
Recommended Use:
Preferably an initial loading dose of one ovule a day for three days followed by one weekly, as a maintenance nutraceutical for horses from youngstock to those in training/competition.
Loading doses may be used prior to competitions or periods of intense work such as training bootcamps, when joints will be under maximum loading; to ensure maximum joint comfort, maintenance and recovery.
One box including administering a loading dose lasts, 8 weeks; thereafter each box lasts 10 weeks
