Get the Nutritional Perspective on Joint Health in Dr. Getty’s newest book
Joints, like all tissues in the body, rely on nutrients for maintenance and repair. The horse’s body prioritizes its use of nutrients, first supporting vital organs—heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and brain—then giving what nutrients are left over to the rest of the anatomy. So it’s vitally important that the horse’s diet include sufficient nutrients to make it all the way to the organs at the end of the body’s hierarchy, the joints. Supplementing for joint health without first establishing a sound dietary foundation is a waste of effort and money.
In her new book, Joint Health—A Nutritional Perspective, Dr. Juliet M. Getty explains joint structure and the dietary requirements to maintain or repair joints, then discusses various ingredients found in common joint supplements and their appropriate applications. The book has valuable information about the nutritional basis for joint health.
Joint Health—A Nutritional Perspective is the fifth book in Dr. Getty’s series, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition. Other titles include:
Aging Horse—Help Him Grow Old with Dignity and in Health
Easy Keeper—Making It Easy to Keep Him Healthy
Laminitis—A Scientific and Realistic Approach
