Location: Georgia | Has anyone tried this yet? Interested to hear reviews. It is a Chondrotin Sulfate injectable they are using for horses, dogs and people. Its very reasonably priced. $155 is the loading dose 1x week for 4 weeks then once a month. I know Ryann Pedone is using it and saying good things. Just curious to hear other reviews.

I have always been a Polyglycan user and it has the same ingredient PLUS HA and Glucosamine. Each dose of Poly is 44.00 |

| I just looked at the site and saw the pricing, I find it curious as to why the Equine and Canine treatments are the same price but the canine dosage is 1cc and equine is 5cc. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I did some reading on this the other day and ran across the claim that Adequan, which is described in the literature as a PSGAG, is just a fancy way of saying chondroitin sulfate, and chondroitin from bovine trachea is the primary source of PSGAGs in the product. Hence the reasonable thought that Summit, which is labeled under another name for use in corneal transplants, would work much the same. Whether or not that is strictly accurate, I don't know, but the vets I have talked to were comfortable with trying it to see if it worked.
One of the criticism of using CS as a dietary supplement for joint support was that the molecule wouldn't survive digestion or couldn't be absorbed well. So this bypasses that argument. Worth a try, I think. |

I went ahead and ordered some so ill give an update after the loading dose. I read that some saw improvements in as little as 72 hrs. |

| I have been using it for 3 months now on my 21 year old horse that was on Pentason for years. It seems to be working pretty good and my horse seems to feel pretty good. |

Question?? Do you need a prescription from a vet to buy this?
No you can buy it straight from the website. I thought about using it, but I searched the depths of the internet and I saw some threads where people were saying that this is made in someone's house? Can anyone shed some light if that is true or not? Also, is it FDA approved? I couldn't find anything on that. I just want to make sure its safe before I try it. |

I just sent them a messsage asking where it was manufactured and if it was FDA approved. It sure is affordable enough. Makes me want to try it too. |
