Hi guys
Just wondered what joint supplements do people recommend for Osteoarthritis/DJD/Hock Spavins.
I have done some research and found out that Glucosamine Sulphate is the best for osteoarthritis and it is the only type of glucosamine that has any confirmed medical study to prove it could work for osteoarthritis.
The joint supplement I have my horse on at the moment (ExtraFlex HA) has Glucosamine Hydrochloride in it and therefore I want to swap to a different supplement as it seems to not be making any different with my horse as he has osteoarthritis. Im sure this joint supplement might work for other types of arthritis but I need one with Glucosamine Sulphate for my boy.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I see that Naf Superflex does it. Has anyone tried this?
Also has anyone tried giving their horse just human tablets of glucosamine? If so how much and does it work?
Many Thanks
Soph
