[RC] PSGAGS, HA v RVI - Barb Peck

I just did a quick search for definitions:

QUOTE
  Adequan is a  polysulfated glycosaminoglycan.   An glycosaminoglycan is any 
of a group of polysaccharides with high molecular weight that contain amino 
sugars and often form complexes with proteins. Also called mucopolysaccharide.

Ledgend is  Intravenous hyaluronic acid, (called Legend IV)A protein found in 
large amounts in the synovial fluid.
END QUOTE

These are the precursors proteins and sugars, which are the building blocks of 
cartiledge and synovial fluid.

This is much different than RVI which is a selective immuno-suppressive.
