Pentosan Gold – Advanced Joint Therapy for Horses

Pentosan Gold is a next‑generation injectable chondroprotective treatment developed by Ceva Animal Health. Unlike standard PPS formulations\ Pentosan Gold is enhanced with N‑Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG), a more advanced form of glucosamine shown to improve glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronic acid synthesis. This dual action makes it one of the most effective therapies for equine osteoarthritis.
