How do they get away with some of those figures ...?

Interesting isn't it?

To be fair, it would be interesting to determine the sample size, period of time, and what, if any, the response from the manufacturer's were

I am on my phone so cant really see the PDF ,were the tests done in 2008?

We use Joint Aid which is superb. Really helps Katies stiff sore hip. It was recommended to us by a Boxer breeder on here

I stopped taking them myself as they really did not help. It is doubtful if anything can help but I did give them a good try. But I am still giving Pereg Glucosamine and Chondroitin with MSM, and Green Lipped Mussel extract, although I do not think I will buy any more for her when these run out as her limping seems to be from a muscular and not joint problem.

I am happy with the ones I use for Dillon I am using Synflex it is a liquid form with added extras such as Bromelain (sp), Boswellin and yucca and shark cartilage. I know it works as last month I saw a joint aid locally in an equine shop so thought I would try that he was stiff within a few days so I reordered the Synflex and hey presto he was moving freely again.

I have now bought Flexiwize which has the same ingredients just slightly higher amounts of some and the the same amount of ingredients for others so I know he will do well on that product and it is a a couple of pounds cheaper.

For me I use a Glucosamine, chrondroitin (sp) and msm tablet and they work too if I miss them for day or two my joints are achey. They come from a mail order company Woods supplements.

ETA for Dillon 500mg vit c twice a day and 500mg green lipped muscle once a day, fish oil vit e and apple cider vingar.

Anyone got any tips for human hips?

New ones?

but failing that - have you tried either green lipped mussel or rosehip?

I wish... I have been told I need both hips replacing and both knees "but we will not do them as you will still be in a chair because of your spine".

It really is - not - nice to be written off at my age.
