Human Superflex?

[MagicMelon]

Anybody know if this exists? Or if its in the NAF pipeline?

i'm sure they do something like that, think it's called supasulf or something like that......does the horse one not taste nice then??!!

There's Equimins Flexijoint and EA do a Cortaflex for people...don't know about NAF

I've been taking the horse one for 3 years now, since I dislocated my elbow in a fall - about a third of a teaspoon in a drop of ribena to disguise the taste! It's miracle stuff - if I don't take it for a couple of weeks (well, it does excite comment when you're on holiday!), my elbow joint starts to click.....

I told my Dad about it for his arthritic knee, and he asked his (Australian) doctor about it who said go for it, the equine version is more quickly absorbed because it is in powder form that the human tablet versions.

Joking apart I'm not always sure if our customers are buying it for their horses or for themselves!!!

So is it really safe to take the horse version? How did you know how much to take? Should I ask NAF?!

I know cortaflex etc. do it but I find Superflex is absolutely amazing on the horses so that's why I figured, hey maybe I should try it!

I just scaled down the horse measures, and it came in as a tip of a teaspoon per day! If my Dad's Aussie doctor thinks it's okay, I reckon it won't do me any harm, and I haven't suffered any ill effects from it over the past 3 years (apart from a tendency to whinny!)
