In the early Spring of 1994, my horse veterinarian put me on equine glucosamine and chondroitan sulfate. I was developing an early form of arthritis. Standing up from a squat position was unsuccessful without pain, if at all. The chondroitan sulfates and glucosamines were not on the shelves for humans yet. No one in the health food stores knew about them. Horses had them because horses are very special people. Their performance on the track produced a research industry in medical supplements that is often ahead of the race against human products.
After my veterinarian's suggestion, doctors and pharmacists that
treat humans checked the products I bought. The medical team declared them safe for
humans. About two years later, health food stores began to stock them. And about a year after that, local
supermarkets followed the trend. Now they are plentiful on the shelves. But I like my Equine stores the best for price and reliable quality.
I buy 3 jars of 1 lb each to avoid shipping charges. This lasts me about a year and a half.
As far as doses, since a big scoop is for horses, I put about a flat teaspoon of the powder in my cereal 1x day. It is not flavored and it dissolves readily.
Supplements are not medicine. Usually it takes about 6 weeks for the body to begin to notice a difference. Since I have been treating myself with these supplements from 1994, I have reasonable range of movement when I haven't pulled a muscle.
Check out this Drug.com link for precautions due to allergies of the product.
Various equine suppliers sell AniFlex Complete. Compare prices and shipping. Stateline is one of my favorites. As a Florida resident, I have to pay tax.
