A recent double blind study was conducted with horses using a name brand joint supplement to see if it actually had any measurable effects. They found that it indeed did improve soundness in mildly lame horses, increased joint movement range, and had other beneficial effects on the joints. The horse supplement used was Corta-FLX which is available through veterinarians. Up until this point the usefulness of feed-through joint supplements was questionable, although most agreed injectable supplements were effective.
