[RC] Cosequin - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: DJE summitfeed@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Regarding Cosequin, It is the only Glucosamine HCL/Chondroitin Sulfate Product which has been scientifically tested and proven to be safe, absorbable and efficatious. The results of these university studies have been published in refereed scientific journals. No other joint supplement on the market can make this claim. It has also been shown that it meets label claim for the listed ingredients. Joint nutracuticals do not fall under FDA scrutiny, and there are no govt. regulations in place insuring they meet their label claim. In an independent University study, it was shown that less than 80 percent of the joint nutraceuticals studied met label claim. I would suggest going to the FDA website and read their recommendations on purchasing nutraceuticals. If you are interested in taking Cosequin for humans, the options are Cosequin DS, (which is the dog form - I wouldn't recommend the chewable) or Cosamin DS, (the human form, which is identical to Cosequin DS and differs in packaging only). The HCL salt of glucosamine is much more readily available than the sulfate form, although it has been shown, both are absorbed. It requires somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% more of the glucosamine sulfate to reach the same levels in the blood stream. Meanwhile to accomplish this you are adding more salt to your diet. Remember, no other joint supplement has the published scientific research for their specific products. Most companies are basing their claims on the Cosequin research and if you ask them for their research, they will tell you they will get back to you. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
