Devil's Claw Extract - Feed Ingredient

Devil’s Claw Extract is derived from the tuberous roots of Harpagophytum procumbens, a plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. The extract contains a group of iridoid glycosides, primarily harpagoside, which are considered the primary active constituents responsible for the plant’s traditional medicinal properties.

In equine supplements, Devil’s Claw Extract is typically included for its herbal role in joint or musculoskeletal support formulations. It is not a source of essential nutrients but is used as a botanical additive. The extract is usually standardized to a specific harpagoside content and included in powdered or liquid form depending on the supplement type.
