Re: [RC] [RC] Oral HA vs Oral GLucosamine - Shelley Kerr

Has anyone tried stretching?  We had our first equine expo last fall.  It was great.  A clinician was here on horse stretching.  You can find his site by typing in horse stretching on a search engine.  It was incredible.  I've been starting to use it on my horses.  An trying to do more stretching for myself.  I get lazy, so I'm better with my horses than me. ;-)

Subject: [RC] Oral HA vs Oral GLucosamine
 
About 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.
