| In addition to injections (hocks specifically) what are your favorite supplements for joint maintenance? I've used adequan in the past, but am curious about what else has been put to the test and found to be helpful. |

Location: Sunny So Cal | I inject hocks and stifles. Injecting stifles isn't something I used to do but recently started and it has made a world of difference in my horses. I also give Adequan and Legend. The supplement I feed is THE JointFLEX. |

Location: Heart of Texas | Cosequin w/ MSM, Majesty Wafers w/ HA, and I paint my horses joints/stifles/any sore spot really with Bigeloil. Love it! I have some expensive stuff that I use for previous injuries or swelling from a local chiro that makes it himself but for the every day rub down Bigeloil. |

| I plan to add cur-ost to my program before I start to leg them back up in the spring.
I've been taking the human version myself and I am impressed. My knees typically bother me a lot, despite doctors telling me nothing is wrong, stretch more, which I do. They feel great now!
This past Sunday night I had my knee slammed into a fence post at the end of our heeler box by one of our colts. I was pretty lame on it Sunday night. I took a double dose of cur-ost plus used my pht hock wrap and iced it. I was amazed yesterday morning how much better it felt. Has some fun colors and is sore but I feel like it would have been considerably worse without the cur-ost based on previous injuries.
I also like that it is full body maintenance. |

I'll second the Cur-OST. By managing the inflammation in the entire body, joints are less painful as well, resulting in less arthritic change through the years, not to mention the management of other issues resulting from chronic inflammation. My crew will never be without their Cur-OST! No longer need a different product for every single issue we deal with (joints, ulcers, digestion, hoof, calmer, etc). I get all that with the Total Support.
I love the fact that these products weren't originally developed as a business plan, but rather by Dr. Schell to restore his own health. After his positive results he began implementing it in his practice, also noting very positive changes in his patients based on what customers were saying. It wasn't until years later the products were actually offered to the public. |

| Curost is not for joints. You need a supplement with glucosamine,HA to adequately address the joints. OE Game Changer addresses joint issues and has anti inflammatory properties. Pentosen for the 4 dose load up and then monthly |

You can get a big bottle of Pentosan Gold, which has Glucosamine added into the solution, from Horseprerace.com or Racehorsemeds.com. You can buy a 50mL bottle for about $150, that gives you 10 doses. |

I've heard lots of good things about the Cur-OST. And I have very much come to respect your opinion, Herbie! I think I'm going to look further into going that route. |

I agree to. Curost addresses inflammation. No inflammation means no joint changes, therefore you don't need the glucosamine etc. Chicken or the egg kind of thing. Having said that, I do have all of mine on Adequan and a glucosamine product because some of them are to far gone. If you start curost when the horse is born that should be all you need. lol |

Thank you so much for your kind words, rpreast!  There are several articles on the website addressing joints, as well as other issues associated with inflammation and how it can and does impact the body. https://www.nouvelleresearch.com/index.php/articles
