[RC] Joint Supplements - k s swigartJennifer said: I have decided to forego purchasing any more oral joint supplements, as none of them have ever really been scientifically proven to work,... Actually, a double blind clinical trial was done by Dr. Hillary Clayton (I think) at University of Michigan (I think) on the oral joint supplement Corta-Flx and improvement in hock range of motion of arthritic horses was observed after two weeks of using it (if I remember correctly). You could probably find an on-line version of the article reporting the study in The Horse magazine (because I think that that is where I read it...but not sure, it was about 12-18 months ago). kat Orange County, Calif. p.s. Adequan and injectable glucosamine are not the same thing and as far as I know, no clinical trials have been one on the injectable glucosamine. The active ingredient in Adequan and Chondroprotec are the same, however, they are labeled for different uses, which may be nothing more than a legal technicality, but I wouldn't swear to it. ============================================================ REAL endurance is your water freezing IN the cantle bags! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
