Cortaflex v NAF superflex: why the massive price difference?!

Dunno! It seems to be quite difficult to find out exactly how much of everything is actually in Cortaflex too...

I used to use Superflex but swapped to Feedmark Extraflex HA after a few months, as they do so many offers that it worked out loads cheaper

Is that the Cortaflex HA liquid rather than straight Cortaflex liquid?

Other thing to look at is how much has to be given per day?
 
always check the ingredience, by law they have to list them by value of what is in it (highest first)

so for cortaflex HA liquid it is-

Water, Isolated Soy Protein, Dextrose, Glycine, Glutamine,
Mucopolysaccharides, Proline, Glucuronic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Sodium
Hyaluronate, Aspartic Acid, Arginine, Histidine, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Iso leucine, Manganese Sulphate, Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin-B6), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin-C), Sulphur, Copper-Sulphate-5-mg/kg-(added), Xanthan Gum, Preserved with Ammonium Propionate.

whereas naf superflex liquid is

Aqua, Glucosamine HCl, MSM, Vitamin C, l-Glutamine, Chondroitin sulphate Xanthum gum, Hyaluronic acid.

the 2nd ingredient in the naf supplement is what is needed to help the joint, with the cortaflex its the 4th ingredient. EA tend to use alot of fillers in there supplements to bulk them out hence they can charge more.
 
Superflex every time for me,

it actually states the ingredients on the Superflex label, when you look at cortaflex it seems to be mainly alfalfa, dextrose (sugar) and other fillers. Im not going to waste my money on cortaflex alfalfa for a joint support when i can buy a big sack of it for 10 quid!!

Seriously though i did a lot of research on joint products and Superflex came up very well, it was about the only one that didnt have lots of fillers in.

No - that's cortaflex HA. What's straight cortaflex?!


*aaaahhh - confusion!*

Cortaflex (chondroitin and glucosamine) but without the hylaunic (sp ?) acid.
 
OR why not just get Equine Americas Glucosamine supplement? It is just Glucosamine and MSM. its £15.99 a pot which lasts around 60 days. Its what i use!

I'm baffled now! My retired horse (severe arthritis in her knee) and pony (bit of general stiffness) are both on the powder straight Cortaflex. It does cost a small fortune, especially as the horse has bute too, so would I be better switching the Cortaflex to Superflex?

It's all very confusing!
 
I am a convert from Cortaflex to Superflex. I cannot see any difference in their effects, except in my pocket lol! But I do see a difference if I stop the Superflex

I also swapped to superflex from cortaflex on advice of a friend who worked as the rep for equistro - she wanted me on their one but that was insanely expensive. Friend just got me a tub of premierflex as a thank you present so will use that and see how they go but so far pretty happy with superflex - swapped onto it about 2 years ago!
 
Does anyone know how long the 800gram Superflex is meant to last? Just trying to work out if it's cheaper than the Cortaflex powder I use now??
 
Fed the vet strength for a year and noticed no differece whatever - complete waste of money £1200 for the year and it made no difference - a great marketing exercise.

Now feed linseed meal at £35 for 20Kg's and my horse is lovely and sound on it.
