More Than a Joint Supplement: How PJS Supports the Whole Equine Leg

Your Horse's Leg Is a System

When we think about leg support for horses, the conversation often starts with the joint.

But a horse doesn't move on joints alone.

Every stride depends on an interconnected system of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, bone and muscle working together. When one area is under stress, it can affect how the horse uses the rest of the leg.

That's why PJS was formulated to look beyond traditional joint support.

PJS All-In-One Leg Solution provides targeted nutritional support for the structures that make up the entire leg—while Arto-Velox™ supports the body's natural inflammatory and recovery processes.

One Formula. Whole-Leg Support.

Start With the Environment for Recovery

Before we get into the structural ingredients, there's an important part of the PJS formula that makes its approach different.

Arto-Velox™ — Supporting Reduction

Arto-Velox™ is PJS's proprietary blend of the protease enzymes serrapeptase, bromelain and papain.

These enzymes help support the body's natural inflammatory process and the breakdown of excess fibrin and inflammatory proteins.

Why does that matter?

Because PJS isn't designed simply to provide nutrients to the joint. The formula begins by supporting an internal environment that's more favorable to normal circulation, comfort and the body's natural recovery process.

Reduction is the first part of the PJS approach. Recovery is the second.

Supporting Joints & Cartilage

Glucosamine HCl • Chondroitin Sulfate • Hyaluronic Acid

These are probably the ingredients horse owners are most accustomed to seeing in a joint supplement—and they're an important part of PJS.

Glucosamine HCl — 7,500 mg
Provides nutritional support for cartilage and normal joint function.

Chondroitin Sulfate — 1,000 mg
Supports cartilage structure, joint flexibility and normal shock absorption.

Hyaluronic Acid — 100 mg
Supports healthy synovial fluid and joint lubrication to help maintain comfortable movement.

But with PJS, joint support is only one part of the formula.

Supporting Tendons, Ligaments & Connective Tissue

Hydrolyzed Collagen • Vitamin C

Soft tissue plays an enormous role in the stability and movement of the equine leg.

Hydrolyzed Collagen — 750 mg
Provides peptides and amino acids used as nutritional building blocks for connective tissues, including tendons and ligaments.

Vitamin C — 500 mg
Plays an important role in normal collagen formation and provides antioxidant support.

Together, these ingredients expand the formula beyond cartilage and the joint itself to support the soft-tissue structures surrounding and stabilizing the leg.

Supporting Bone, Muscle & Hoof

Calcium • Phosphorus • Magnesium • Manganese

The structural support system doesn't stop at joints and soft tissue.

PJS also contains an essential mineral complex selected to provide nutritional support for bone, muscle and hoof health.

Calcium + Phosphorus support normal bone structure and mineralization.

Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function.

Manganese plays a role in normal connective-tissue and bone formation.

These nutrients help round out PJS's whole-leg approach.

Why Put All of This Into One Formula?

Because leg issues don't always stay neatly confined to one structure.

A horse experiencing discomfort in one area may change how it moves. That can alter the stresses placed on surrounding joints, muscles and soft tissues.

That's particularly important when you're supporting horses dealing with things like:

Joint stiffness • Stifle concerns • Tendon or ligament stress • Chronic soreness • Swelling • Old injuries • Heavy training and competition

Instead of asking:

“Which single structure should we support?”

PJS was developed around a different question:
