I went round and round in my head and considered it, and finally just decided to keep with my Adequan/Legend protocol and joint injections as needed. But I am kicking it around in my head..lol

I tried it for a solid 3 months - didn't notice a huge difference but I was also using it as more of a preventative. It's pretty expensive so stopped but the research behind it is pretty solid.
I have used it. Honestly, I've used a ton of supplements over the years and I've never had a feed through joint supplement make a noticeable, significant change to me. I used it in conjunction with adequan, OCD Pellets, and injections. So yeah the horse is better right now but lord knows why... probably the Prostride and Noltrex I put in her coffins. I like the concept of Equithrive and the resveratrol. If you buy the Original pellets I think it just has the resveratrol and its not so expensive.
I've given one horse Equithrive Complete for a couple of years. It definitely helps prolong his hock injections. He just went 12 months between. Wasn't showing me signs of pain yet, but I had my vet flex him and we decided to go ahead and inject....so I keep him on it.
I'v had my mare on it for 3 years now (started when she was 17). She gets injections 1X year. I feel like it works well and helps the injections last longer. I use the complete pellets and I dont think the powder gets eaten as well. It is expensive but I buy it on Amazon and do the buy again subscribtion and after you continue to buy it they give you a few bucks off.
I would recomend it to anyone looking for something to help their horse.
