Just a quickie, is vegan glucosamine similar to the cystease and equivalents? I bought some from H&B’s as I saw it linked on a thread here and wondered how it would differ from cystease etc?

I am thinking about starting it for him tomorrow if it’s the same/similar or get the real deal if it’s not. He’s still on his metacam twice daily as well.

Thanks guys!

Yes, it is. Cystease and the other brands are all glucosamine based.
 
Thanks! Is there anything extra in there that’s beneficial over the straight glucosamine? :)

I think that there are now some further additives, but if you want to go for the plain glucosamine, that is perfectly fine as that is the main active ingredient.
 
Ah okay, thanks. Hmm maybe I’ll try a trial of each and see what works for him.

Cheers guys :)
