| CentreLine 21/10/2008 15:55 | There are loads. Just make sure you know what's in them as sometimes they don't give you the ingredients - or rather the quantities of the active ingedient - and then I wonder how effective they are. At the top end of the market there is Blue Chip Dynamic which is a feed balancer for joints. Then there are products like Cortaflex from Equine America but, coming from America, I find the prices vary month to month according to the exchange rate and they tend to be expensive anyway. If you go into any store such as Country Farmers or SCATS you will see many many products to choose from. I guess you pay for what you get. |

Cortaflex reckon their product has greater "bioavailability" than others - in other words that their product finds it easier to get through to the joint itself rather than getting lost in the horse's system. How much of that is truth and how much marketing I wouldn't like to say. |
