Regardless of price - which is the best joint supp?

[pipper]

Which ones have you ACTUALLY seen results with? Figured that there is no use paying out for a cheaper one if they dont work?
Am looking at the Cortaflex HA? is that the best that money can buy that works??

Thanks

Yep its cortaflex, Scientifically proven, Naf is very good as well

I've been using Arthri-Aid on my cob. Massive difference in her way of going & we didn't didn't think she was bad, just the occasional off stride.

I use Athri-aid too and get it off amazon as it was cheaper...Mum tried cortaflex on her 33 y.o and it didnt help, as where arthri-aid and cider vinegar made a difference

Isn't Cortaflex the one that contains 'extracts of mammalian tissue'? I believe it may be and that is why I chose not to give my horse that. I was advised that Topspec 10:10 was very good so had mine on that for a while. Ours vets also recommend another band (can't recall what) bu surprise surprise as ordered through vets it's extortionate. However, I looked at the ingredients and the ones that are required - Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM and found that Feedmark do variations of joint supplement containing these and a heck of a lot cheaper. So, I have bought the ExtraflexHA with Rosehips for mine. I have no clue whether it hasd made any difference although I do feel for the period a while back where mine were on no joint supplement, they did see a little stiffer and lacking their usual fowardeness.

Turmeric, along with micronised linseed. Cheap as chips and works for some horses.

Our local vets did a lameness awareness month earlier this year, one of the subjects the covered was joint supplements, cortaflex was actually considered one of the worst.

The ones that came out on top were cosequin (actually been vet tested), supaflex and suppleaze gold. I used to feed my arthritic boy cosequin and moved him to suppleaze gold and he is full of beans and sharp on his pins, younger one eats supaflex and I cannot say I noticed a difference but would you on a 5 y.o I feed it as it makes me feel better... So I would go with suppleaze gold.

Cortaflex is rubbish - stuck at it for a few months and did nothing.

Cosequin ASU...(avocado soy unsoponifiable...means the fats don't solidify like soap does). It was clinical trialed and actually helped older damage in joints.
