Adequan is a drug. FDA Approved. Requires script from vet.
Summit is a supplement. Does not require FDA approval. Does not require a script.
Can I put a bunch of laugh Emojis down??? Its a drug. Its an injectable. I do not considered anything injectable a supplement. But that's just me. Advil doesn't need a script, that must be a supplement too. Mmkay |

   Location: Randolph, Utah | My old guy (22) has been on it since May or June and I can tell a huge difference when it's time for a shot. If I'm running him consistently he gets it every 2 weeks. A couple races I was able to time it so he got it on a Wednesday and he ran that weekend. It is amazing the difference. I haven't tried it on anything else I've thought about giving it to my 6 year old but I'm not sure he needs it. |

Nothing has changed about it, other than it being an MLM scam now too. To each their own. Injectable glucosamine will give you the same results for around $5 a shot |

| I used to swear by summit. I mean I had our dogs, horses all were on it. My veterinarian recommended it and my insurance company said since my vet recommended it, they would cover me. So I kept using it. I used it for a year and a half now, every 2 weeks for my performance horse below. Swore. By it. Once all the drama happened online with Summit, I noticed the needles and syinges changed. No big difference, just thought they up'ed the quality of them. My horse got hurt from falling on crap ground 4ish weeks ago. He got a seroma and we've been battling it since. Took him into the vet to get checked out. We have ALWAYS used summit for inflammation since it helps so well, and my horse has some issues with gut problems so avoiding NSAIDS was key. My vet starts to administer the 5ml dose into the neck (IM) and he immediately started to act as if something was odd..swishing his tail, shaking his head nonstop. After about 5 minutes, his injection site swelled up and he got stiff in the neck. My vet then immediately gave my gelding some oral banamine, and taped an ice bag to his neck on the injection spot. He called the company as hes a rep and supposed to report any 'reactions'. What I learned that day is why I threw all my extra doses away. The company's lab where summit is made, switched. So the mixture may be 'different' but it is still pure chondroitin and water. I will not be using it anymore regardless. Back to adequan and pentosan we go. Just my two cents and what I learned, so don't attack me. LOL |

| An injectable not made in an FDA approved facility where all of the required safety protocols are upheld? No thanks. And, an injectable is not a supplement  |

          Location: South Georgia | Y'all can hang me, but I've had my gelding on it for a year now. There's a big difference in him. I can feel when he needs another injection, and after I give it, the next day he's back comfortable again. Just my experience. The formulation concentration has been doubled. I'm looking forward to the next batch I receive to see how that works for my guy. |

       Location: Missouri | I asked my vet and he pretty well said exactly what I thought....MLM, lack of long term studies = Red flags. We use pentosan with great results on my older mare and I guess I feel like if it isn't broke, don't fix it? |
