Joint supplement ingredients

Greetings, class!

I wanted to post a couple of links to help you find some information on the ingredients you're researching for Friday's class.

http://www.thehorse.com/pdf/factsheets/joint-supplements/joint-supplements.pdf
This is a document published by a widely read (and well regarded) magazine called The Horse. It gives a good overview of joint supplements and the ingredients most commonly found in them.

Of course, any Google search of your particular ingredient will yield results. If you don't like the results, try adding words or using complete phrases ("glucosamine" or "what is glucosamine").

Finally, one of the largest retail outlets for supplements is SmartPak. This link will take you to their website where they list all their supplements and their ingredients. SmartPak also publishes charts that compare supplements according to amounts of ingredients.

Enjoy the research. I look forward to hearing from each of you on Friday morning. Then, we'll get the horses out, inspect their legs (and feel for those flexor tendons we talked about in Tuesday's class), then ride for a bit!
