Devil's Claw (Latin name: Harpagophytum Procumbens) comes originally from South Africa and gets its name from the claw form of the plant. The roots of the plant are dried and milled.
 
In horse care, Devil's Claw is widely used as a natural alternative to pharmaceutical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like phenylbutazone ("bute").
Joint Stiffness & Osteoarthritis: It is most commonly fed to senior horses or performance horses experiencing joint degeneration, stiffness, or age-related arthritis.
Musculoskeletal Pain Relief: It aids in managing soreness in muscles, tendons, or ligaments following strenuous work or mild soft-tissue irritation.
Gastric-Friendly Alternative: Long-term use of synthetic NSAIDs like bute can cause gastric ulcers and renal issues in horses. Devil’s Claw offers anti-inflammatory benefits with a lower risk of gut ulceration.
 
Key Rules & Considerations for Horse Owners
Banned Under FEI Regulations: The USEF and FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) list harpagoside as a controlled/prohibited substance. Because it masks pain and alters performance, it must be withdrawn from a horse's diet at least 48 to 72 hours before sanctioned competition.
