When examining the label of other products they may appear to contain the same ingredients as CosequinEquine Powder, but do they?
Many products try to compare to Cosequin, but there is no generic equivalent. Chondroitin sulfate is a large molecule that is difficult to absorb. Cosequin is the only brand that uses the TRH122®* low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate, which has been evaluated and shown bioavailable. Low molecular weight means the particle size of the molecule is smaller and more easily absorbed by the digestive system than other less pure forms of chondroitin sulfate. While this form of chondroitin sulfate is more expensive, it is the only one supported by published, controlled U.S. clinical studies for efficacy, safety and bioavailability. Other products that are labeled to contain chondroitin sulfate may actually use ground up cartilage or other less pure material. Many other products contain ingredients from sources that may not maintain strict quality control standards for purity and quality. Cosequin Equine Powder also contains FCHG49®* glucosamine hydrochloride, which is greater than 99% pure
