New name for Equitop GLME

Boehringer Ingelheim’s popular equine joint supplement is now known as Equitop® GLME.

The joint supplement of choice for professional riders, Equitop GLME (previously known as SERAQUIN GLME), joins the Equitop portfolio of products which also includes Equitop® Myoplast, Boehringer’s market-leading supplement that supports lean muscle growth in horses.

Equitop GLME is a tasty, pearl formulation joint supplement specifically developed to support the healthy function of cartilage, joint capsules, tendons and ligaments. It is derived from an active extract of New Zealand Green Lip Mussels - a natural source of glucosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin and essential fatty acids – and is tested free of prohibited substances.

The nutrients within this product help to lubricate joints, as well as supporting normal joint function, the stability and elasticity of ligaments and the shock-absorbing properties of cartilage.

Equitop GLME is fed once a day either separately or mixed with feed and one tub will typically last for 30 days. It can be used in all horses and ponies.

For more information on Equitop GLME or Equitop Myoplast visit www.equitop-myoplast.co.uk or www.facebook.com/equitopmyoplast. Both products are available from veterinary practices, tack shops, country stores and online.
