Relief for bad joints at last??? Adequan

[Mentula]

Along the same lines of Adequan (PSGAG), I have been using intramuscular Sodium Hyaluronate with very good success.

PSGAG is a technical marketing term to describe what we all know as chondroitin sulphate. Chondroitin can have a sulphate ester attached at several positions on the molecule, 4 or 6 or a disulphate at 4 and 6. Hence the terms POLY (many) Sulphated and Glycosaminoglycan (which in this case is chondroitin).

Adequan is patented for a specific ratio/blend of 4 sulphate to 6 sulphate ect., to protect the exact product formulation. The position of the sulphate doesn't matter to the body however, it only matters to the lawyers.

Sodium Hyaluronate is the only nonsulphated glycosaminoglycan, (glucosamine is also in the glycosaminoglycan family). Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, the only rate limiting chemical that makes up the proteoglycan molecule that provides the cushoning effects of synovial fluid amoung other aspects of cartilage protection. SH provides the back bone to which the other molecules attach (proteins, chondroitn, glucosamine etc)

Both PSGAG and SH are excellent products, both are water based solutions so IM injection is easy and generally pain free. The final thing that both of these product have in common is that they are not available systemically (read IM administration) for humans (WTF)!!! Freaking horses and dogs have better access to injectable joint supplementation than humans do. We have to wait to see and Orthopod and at best he/she might inject SH into the joint capsule possibly with cortisone! This needs to change!

I still don't know for certain if my joint pain is due to cartilage damage and wear (which Adequan will help with) or ligment/tendon injury/aggrevation (which Adequan will NOT help with, but GH does). Probably a bit of both...

Actually ligaments/tendons are primarily comprised of cartilage/coolagen and adequan rebuilds both. :) Nice to know huh? Im giving it a shot ASAP.

What is deca and where could I get it? Also, do you know if you are meant to inject it into the joint itself or the muscles around it? Cheers. :)

Thanks a lot for that. I don't suppose you know whether or not the store in the link on the second post in this thread gives injections to give the drug, or do you have to get them somewhere else?

If they have to be purchased somewhere else, do you know where I can get them? Thank you. :)

if you are talking about the adequan link in the Google ad, i really don't know. you would have to look into that yourself.

This is the link I was referring to:

Adequan Equine Intramuscular (5 ml injectable-ONE BOTTLE)

Does anyone know if they supply syringes with it? And if anyone did get it from here, what results did they get? :)

Thanks a lot man. :)
Do you know what one I would need for this product?

p.s. Sorry for all these questions, I am new to this so don't really know much about any of it (except insulin as I am a diabetic, but I inject with pens, not syringes so I can't use them for anything other than insulin). :)
