[RC] Oral HA vs Oral GLucosamine - Roger RittenhouseAbout a month ago - during the 'flex' discussions, I addressed a new product. The oral HA product called Conquer. I asked if it really worked. I ran a self-test on me. I stopped the supplementation of the GLu HCl which I indicated provided very good results with joint therapy for me. I went off any flex joint supplement for one week until I noted a change in how I felt joint wise. I started taking 5 mg of Conquer. each day. After a week I noted NO MAJOR improvement. In fact I do believe I was getting less joint flexion and there was some constant pain. I increased to 10 mg per day ( 5mg 2x). There 'may' have been some effect, but not enough reduce the pain nor provide for ease of joint movement. After 2 weeks I gave up on the test. I switched back to Glu HCL and within 3 days a I noted a difference. I also added the dose of MSN back to my protocol. My one 'rat' test conclusion is Oral HA dose NOT work. Now all subjects are different and results may vary. I also have put my horses that were under the HA supplementation back on GLU HCL. I will now begin a test of GLU-Sulfate. It is reported the sulfate will offer better results. There are other oral HA supplements on the market. I will also test a few of them.
