Location: In the Hills of Texas | The best joint supplement on the market is the one that works the best for your horse.
I've tried so many I wouldn't be able to list them all and none of them worked the same for different horses. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | Magnesium, Vitamin E, Vitamin C/K with out these in the system it's hard for other joint supplements to go to work. Which is why you need so much of them. Start here and work your way up. |

No. Adequan, Pentosan, Glucosamine, are all IM and Legend is IV. Nothing going in the joints with these. Adequan and Legend have the research behind them to back them up. |

While I understand that injectibles are the most effective method, as someone who has had them myself, I won't submit my horse to that. They're painful and you need absolute rest for about 3 days after to let everything work. That's easier said than done with a horse and there's a lot of people that don't even realize that. I use daily supplements myself and that's what my horses will get. But too each their own. Good luck finding a supplement! I'm still hunting for one that's effective and in my price range myself lol
The injectibles above are muscle shots or legend is an IV. No rest is needed.
I give Pentosan as often as weekly as a muscle shot. I only have is joint injections done if they are needed and that is more rare now that he's on the Pentosan.
It is much more cruel to run a horse that is sore than to inject and remove the soreness. If a horse is sore, ime an oral supplement or even a non IA injectible is not always enough to remove the soreness. |

Location: SE Oklahoma | I've been using SmartPak Smartflex Ultra for a year now. I'm really happy with it, my horses no longer pop and creak when coming out of their stalls. BUT .... after doing some research I've decided to give Oxy-Max a try. I really like the way it's formulated, and a lot of the "extra" that may just be making expensive manure is left out of the Oxy-Max |
