Roger - or somebody - can you tell me the difference in
CS - chondroitan sulfate and GAG - glucosamino glycan (?).
The injectable drug Adequan contains the GAGs - the
powdered feed additives such as Flex Free contain chondroitan
sulfates - is CS a precurser to GAG? I believe they have the same
effect on the joint tissues. different mechanisms?

wondering,

Steph
