Expensive supplements are not always best!

[martini55]

When Martini was diagnosed with slight arthritis last year my vet recommended I started her on cortaflex. I did so on his advice and did notice an improvement. However, I have just realised there was a lot more improvement to be had! I recently switched onto Equiflex and today was the first time I have longreined her since doing so. I could not believe the difference in her and how well she was moving! I have not seen her move so well in a long long time, so to say I'm happy is a bit of an understatement Another benefit is it is cheaper than cortaflex, which is good news since treating cushings isn't going to be cheap! So if you are thinking of starting your horse on a joint supplement then the more expensive supplements aren't necessarily better, as Martini has just proved to me.

So a big thank you to wonkeywoody for recommending it to me as it has worked wonders

useful thread, have been considering putting madam on some sort of joint supplement but hadn't looked into it, beyond pulling a face at cortaflex prices!
Shall google equiflex .

Had you tried cider vinegar at all? I've started that to see if it makes a difference (none so far), not sure on dosage, or indeed if it can be effective! There's lots of anecdotal evidence but nothing 'scientific'.

Thats good to know - I have recently swopped from superflex to equiflex as it is that much cheaper and seemed to have the same active ingredients in it.

Portia I am the same!

Will be getting some Equiflex tomorrow, hope my feedbarn stocks it!
