Hi Annette,
I have two supplements that I like. The first is brand new and very effective toward inflammation and pain. It's called Equinyl Combo with Hyaluronic Acid. It's made by Vita Flex and contains microlactin, which they've patented under the name "Comfort X" to reduce inflammation. Its glucosamine content is time-released, which is another nice feature, making it better utilized. I have received very positive feedback so far on this product.
The second one is one I've offered for a long time and is also excellent. It is Actiflex 4000 (also comes in a powder) and has made a significant change in my old horse that has arthritis in his stifle.
So, my recommdation is to go with the Actiflex for mild arthritis and for more pain relief, go with the Equinyl Combo w/HA.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
