Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think Lubrigen is a good supplement as a preventive to help with joint health. If the horse already has joint problems this product probably isn’t going to help that much; however, it won’t hurt to use it. As far as testing goes, the supplements are not regulated by any organization like the FDA so I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s tested. Most companies do their own anecdotal testing but I don’t think I would abide by that. If you’re looking for an actual FDA approved product that has had evidence based testing done, you should ask your vet about using Lengend and/or Adequan. Really, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. I suggest you talk to your veterinarian directly as they have your horses history and can probably help you make the best choice. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
