Title: Arthritis supplements - bewildering choice
Post by: Mark on September 01, 2010, 09:25:04 AM
I have been looking to see if I can get a high strength one for Alice. I always though Cosequin and Seraquin (horse size tablets  :tired: ) were the best, but there are so many on the market now - some with different extras added etc. Some of them imply that others aren't pure  :shify:.

Anyway, I have opted for the high-strength cortaflex, called corta-vet. They claim it has 'smaller key active isolates' of the active ingredients - smaller molecules that work better. Not sure if it is fact-based or BS  :shify: - also, I wonder if I have been duped by the 'vet' bit in the name  :evillaugh:

ETA - I just saw the loose powder on another site and the loose powder comes with a 2g measure but they tell you to give 1/3rd of a measure  :Crazy: - if they had a cat-sized measure, I would buy it the next time as a 120g pot would last 6 months.
