Expert Posts: 5290	My colt is on adequan, my good horse is on pentosan / and polyglycan for arthritis. I also feed a feed through. I'm going to drop the feed through but I can't decide if I should just put both horses on pentosan or keep the colt on adequan. I'm getting a headache! Lol any suggestions? Thanks.

Veteran Posts: 164	I sware by adequan for my gelding who NEEDS it in order not to be lame. I use it in conjunction with Platinum with both my horses, one of whom is not on adequan or anything else. Hoping the Platinum keeps her going longer than if she was on nothing before she will need adequan or something similar. But I agree that a feed through is shown to not do very much, MAYBE just joint support, but it typically isn't going to fix any problems, so unless it's an all around like Platinum, it's probably not worth it. That's why there not on Platinum CJ!

Expert Posts: 5290	Thanks for your input! I have been doing some research and looks like pentosan is good for preventative as well. I have to make a decision tomorrow.

Expert Posts: 5290	The pentosan polyglycan combo for my good horse is working and won't change. I just want to do what's absolutely best for my youngster. He is a big investment for me.
