[RC] oral glucosamine and vit C - Roger RittenhouseI am going the same route. The Vit C is 'reported' to improve the uptake.. well dont know for sure.. BUT Vit C IS placed in most of the OTC GL supplements, and it is cheap. Easter-C ?? costly why not just a few tabs of the std ascorbic acid? Most blends appear to use the 5000mg of VitC. Bet we dont need that much , but can it cause a problem or just pee it out? My plan is to use pure GluSa and add some vitC. Best price I can find is Uckele 2.5 pnd $89.95 5 to 10 month supply depending on dose rate 8 oz $19.95- 30 to 60 day. Appears the normal dose for the GluSa is around 3000mg per day, Some dose at 5000mg The 'other' ingredients 'MAY' have some value but most are for anti- inflammatory help. I think not needed. Unless there is a problem. -- Roger mailto:roger@xxxxxxxxxxx From: "Michelle Fink" <michrowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [RC] oral glucosamine and vit C Hi - I've decided to feed my horse a glucosamine in her mash, and want to get her started before our first ride of the season. There's a brand labeled "99% Glucosamine" which is glucosamine sulfate with no extra stuff in it. I thought about starting with that plus Esther-C in my horses' mash. Does the extra stuff in the other glucosamine mega-supplements play a key role in glucosamine uptake? Is there a recommended amount of vit. C needed to assist uptake or does the horse produce enough C that supplementation is not necessary? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
