Ran into them at the Rheumatology conference in San Diego last month.
Anybody have any comments about this stuff one way or the other?

In addition to Rx's from the docs I'm always fartin' around with
supplements, diet, exercise, etc., always looking for a better solution.

Any comments appreciated in advance?

My husband has been taking it for 8 years. He stops from time to time
and returns when his hands start hurting again. I took it for the OA
in my knee at one time and did get relief. DianeW

What about for RA? I'm a little dubious about their claims to be able to
partially rebuild cartilage.

From what I've read and heard, it does NOT rebuild cartilage, but it
does help the joint move more freely as long as you take it.

A lot of veternarians recommend the dog version for their patients.
I think it helps more with OA not RA which is autoimmune. There's no immune
modulator in it that I'm aware of
