Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.

Hello Margaret,
Since your current joint supplement is not doing a complete job, consider going with Actiflex. It comes in a liquid and a powder. There is also a senior version that is beneficial for horses that need extra fat in their diets.
Actiflex has the traditional ingredients that you find in joint supplements (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM) but it also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Perna Canaliculus, and Boswellia Serrata to ease inflammation, and hence pain. It also contains omega 3 fatty acids which further reduce inflammation.
Thank you for writing and please keep me posted.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
