| My horses get two full Adequan series a year, every 6 months. Nothing monthly inbetween the full series. This was recommended by several vets I use as Adequan has been proven to be most effective when given this way rather than monthly. The horses I run get Legend the night before a run. I have also used polyglycan on certain horses conditions. Anyway, I was considering feeding MSM daily. Seems there is quite a bit of really good science that it works really well to reduce inflammation and muscle soreness on a daily basis. Of course its pretty darn cheap, but thats just the icing on the cake, not my reason for considering it. Anyone else just use MSM on a daily basis inbetween injections? THanks! |

Location: Southern Indiana | All I have been giving my 6 yr old geilding and 10 year old mare is animed MSN. These two don't get any other kind of joint maintenance just 2 oz of msm a day and they seem to be doing fine. Animed is the best kind. |

Perfect thanks! I have heard it can make some horses a bit spooky but I can play with dosage.. Thanks! |

| I just read about this but I can only find one brand that contains it and it is EquiThrive. Is that the only brand? |

And from what I have read, its mainly to target the hock joints. I want total body inflammation control. |

| MSM is basically all we've ever given our horses for joint maintenance and we've never had issues with any of them. Granted, we don't haul/run like crazy, but they get worked a lot, and only one has ever been injected. My dad takes it for his shoulders, and he can definitely feel a difference if he misses a few days. |

Location: Canada | We use MSM on anything over 10 and have seen big changes in older horses we've put on it. It's cheap and it works. |

I feed Equithrive with Platinum MSM plus I also give polyglycan. Adding the Equithrive * MSM seemed to extend my poly by 1 month. Been using that combo for a year now. |

Exactly! *Most* MSM products are derived from DMSO and are extremely hard on stomachs.

| Thanks all! Decided against MSM just for the Ulcer risk. I am looking at Actiflex 4000 as I have had luck with it in the past. Tight joints plus worked but it also made my horses ulcery. Could be high MSM concentration who knows. Great product though!! I put in a call to Depaolo equine concepts. I use his excel and really like it and he also offers an oral HA product. |

Location: Lost in the swamps | We do the same(give adequan series every 6 months) with a mare that is potassium sensitive and a lot of oral feed thru joint supplements have it. So we adequan and msm. Been feeding msm for years! And it's the only thing otc that keeps my fiends 34 yr old moving. In his really bad days(winter weather stiffness) he gets equioxx. |

I really like ActiFlex 4000, you, but I noticed they tool out out the collagen. Never could find out why. I know with my arthritis collagen definitely makes a difference, I don't know if it does with the horses, though. I haven't used Actiglex since I found out. |

I use to take it and it helped with my aches and pains but I dealt with an upset stomach and never put it together until I read somewhere else that it can cause stomach issues. Stopped taking the MSM and my constant upset stomach went away. |
