Ridecamp: [RC] Joint supplements

I know his has probably been rehashed 100 times, BUT has the scientific
thoughts changed any on the "joint/cartilage"  oral supplements? The reason
I am asking is we now have available a "made in SA" formula , which although
expensive is better priced than the imported stuff, and I was contemplating
using some for my older endurance horse on a preventative basis. The
ingredients are Glucosamine Sulphate, Chrondroitin Sulphate, calcium,
lecithin, Vit C and MSM. Do not know the percentages yet, but the dealers
recommend 5g/day as maintenance or 10 to 20 g/day for "problems" . Also
would this test in drug tests , and if so how long before a ride would I
have to stop using it?
