Hello :)

My pony's current joint supplement (Pro Sound) is about to run out and so I've been having a look around to see if there are any better options.

My current thoughts are either Suppleaze Gold , Suppleaze 4:10:10 or a Hack Up bespoke supplement:

Hack Up - 'Recommendation: There are 4 ingredients that make up 100% of Bella's AI / Joint Bespoke formulation, namely GLHCL, Boswellia Serrata, MSM and Turmeric. There are no buffers, preservatives, colourings or flavourings in this Bespoke product, so needs to be used up within 12 months.
GLHCL – Created by the fermentation of corn, this top quality human grade glucosamine HCL is totally shellfish free. This ingredient regenerates connective tissues and is prescribed by vets worldwide predominantly for joint conditions.
Boswellia Serrata – A derivative of Frankincense, this powerful anti-inflammatory herb is safe to use and is gentle on the stomach. Widely accepted to promote comfort and mobility.
MSM – Bio available sulphur that has the effect of thinning the blood so improves circulation as a result.
Turmeric – Brightly coloured and powerful herb that is globally used for its anti inflammatory properties for arthritic conditions and detoxification.
Load at 20g per day for 7 days, maintenance 10g per day.'


From speaking to the man at Hack Up, they can contain from 5 - 10g of Glucosamine a day. However, I don't know the actual amounts in it. I have not heard a bad word about Hack Up and have friends who are pleased with their horses on their bespoke joint supplement.

So, am not sure whether to go with Suppleaze Gold or Hack Up! Has anyone got any key pointers towards either? Thanks :)
 
I switched from Suppleaze Gold to the 4:10:10 as I think the amounts of each ingredient follow recent research better (?? correct me if I'm wrong). I would happily switch to HackUp though if it worked out cheaper and it had the right amounts. I have heard really good things about them too!
