Overview
JSTTonic is a safe, balanced, and effective daily herbal blend for supporting joint and soft tissue comfort. With mild circulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, it can be used long-term as nutritional support for mobility, comfort, and recovery, provided pregnancy, anticoagulant, and cardiac cautions are observed.
The role of connective joint tissue
The skeleton, connective tissue, muscles, and joints, work in harmony to provide structure, movement, and strength. However, wear and tear, overuse, or sudden injury can disrupt this finely tuned system, often leading to discomfort and reduced mobility.
At EquiNatural, we frequently see cases where the connective structures around the joints - cartilage, muscle, and the all-important glue, collagen - have broken down, resulting in misalignment and inflammation. A key part of the healing process is maintaining healthy blood flow to deliver nutrients to depleted tissues and assist the body’s natural detoxification of cellular debris.
Keeping connective tissue healthy is the foundation for maintaining sound limbs and long-term mobility, and JSTTonic provides the targeted support your horse needs.
For our comprehensive guide on equine joint health, see our main A-Z Equine Condition/Joints & Mobility page in the Advice Centre above.
