study on glucosamine

["Michelle Rowe" <michrowe@redwrench.com>]

Here's a link to some news on glucosamine that I thought was interesting...  The study was done on humans with arthritis, and using pure glucosamine.

"The Lancet medical journal is the first to show that the supplement improves the structure of the joints"

 

Maybe glucosamine as a preventative for a distance horse (and rider?) isn't a bad idea after all?? :-)  I'd be interested to know how many people are feeding distance horses glucosamine supplements...
