Product Description

Cosequin is a patented, scientifically researched supplement dispensed by thousands of veterinarians to help horses maintain healthy joints. Cosequin is an exclusive formula of three ingredients: low molecular weight chonodroitin sulfate (TRH122), glucosamine hydrochloride (FCHG49), and mangases ascorbate. These ingredients have been scientifically formulated to support and maintain the health of your horse's joints. Published studies have shown that the specific combination of ingredients in Cosequin works together to maintain the structure of the cartilage while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage. In fact, Cosequin is the only product of its type to be supported by published U.S. clinical studies in horses.

Customer Reviews

I normally use Cosequin Equine Optimized with MSM, 1400 Gram Container but when I ran out and the local tack shop only had the regular formula, I bought this and figured that it would be pretty much the same. I looked at the ingredient list and it basically looked to be the same only not as concentrated. I figured there wouldn't be any difference in terms of efficacy. I was WRONG!
Within about a week, Ollie was having problems again -- not as bad as with no Cosequin at all but still, not as good as he had been. He was not as happy under saddle and was not moving as well as he had been. Even in pasture, he didn't do too much more than trot for a few steps. You could tell he just didn't feel good.
I went back to the OPT and once again, he is doing much much better. I was watching him in pasture yesterday and he was running around at a canter and trotting and just having a great time. He is much more relaxed under saddle and comes out ready to work... he doesn't need nearly as much warm-up time.
I was told by the equine vet that the regular formula is a shorter-acting formula where the optimized has a time-release element. The recommended dose is 2 scoops 1x per day. However, I have found that I actually get better results by splitting that up and doing 1 scoop in the morning and 1 in the evening. My horse doesn't need grain so I just give it to him mixed with beet pulp. He wolfs it down like it is manna from Heaven.
While the Optimum is more expensive (Amazon's price is about 10 bucks cheaper than my local tack shop), it is worth every penny in terms of the quality of my horses life. I know how much I hate feeling old and achy. I would hate to inflict that on my horse -- especially when there is a product like this that makes such a big difference. I really can't recommend this product enough

My horse is stumbling less from his stifle problem. He is 24 years old and still going strong on our steep mountain trails. He moves freely.
