I see both Dasuquin and Dasuquin w/MSM. Is the w/MSM worth the more expensive cost? Both seem to have great reviews.

I used the Dasuquin w/MSN, It did not agree with my dog but there were some other issues I have with him. I am now going to try the Dasuquin without MSN. The Nutramax people told me that some dogs do not do well with the MSN. My dog has a sensitive stomach. I think that could have been some of the problem. He also has had Three ACL surgeries in the last six months. I also believe some of the pain meds I had him on also contributed to his problem.

yes if you have large dogs like I do. Dasuguin and Cosequin DS are made by NUTRAMAX. Both have same supplements but Dasuquin has a greater amount. Shop around because cost is different or find discounts at differentoutlets. Shop Amazon or check out all the different places that sell pet supplies. PS my vet said DAUQUIN WAS FORMULATED BEST FOR DOGS. My dogs are 88lbs to 120lbs. I use soft chews.

I use the plus msm on my sheepdog and with the cosequin too. I know it helps because I added it to my supplements for arthritis years ago. It helps the joints move a little easier and without as much pain. If your pet has trouble getting up and down, it is definitely worth the extra money. As people and pets age, the msm decreases in the body.

We have 2 large Senior dogs, both NOW on the Dasuquin (with MSM) vs non-MSM. There has been a MARKED difference in their mobility. When we tried to go with a less expensive, lower dose brand, we noticed the difference w/in a week. Back on the Dasuquin, Max - our 13 yr old Shepherd Mix - is bounding up and down the stairs again!! I can't recommend this product highly enough. We do still have to administer the occasional dose of Rimadyl or Tramadol for strains, but the furkids are largely NSAID-free! :)

My understanding is that the MSM is for your pet with much more severe hip/arthritic or dysplacia condition. It's a booster. We just decided to go for it as we didn't read about any bad side effects. It works great.

I think the Dasuquin with MSM is better. My dog (golden retriever - 7 yrs) had knee surgery (ACL) on both rear legs. The Dasuquin with MSM keeps her running with nonoticeable discomfort. If you have a younger dog with no problems yet - the regular Dasuquin would be OK - but an older dog with arthritis issues, I'd go with the MSM.

To be honest, I am not impressed with it. If Dasuquin is working, I would stay with it. I am actually going to try another product called Phycox Max.

Well i started buying this because Shakology is just too expensive. When it comes to protein it compares but shakeology does have a lot more vitamins. but i just try to supplement with vitamins. Shakeology is great, i just can't afford that price

there's been 2 pharmaceutical grade manufacturers of MSM, Opti and Lignusil, which I'm having a hard time finding. Now is at least made in the US, but doesn't make the same claims. Best is to try it. I'm not tired at the ends of my soccer games or bike rides with the good stuff. Also, you get a lot of MSM from fresh tomatoes picked and eaten within 2 days.

i I read the other answer after iI submitted my first answer. I totatally disagree. The msr is similar to 120 but msrx is completely different animal. I have all of them .I know

From comments I have read made by people who seem to have done a lot of research on the subject, OptiMSM is manufactured using a quadruple distillation process which eliminates nearly all the heavy metals which, in that sense, makes it the purest and safest MSM available. The distillation process increases the cost, but I would think that it would be worth paying more to avoid the arsenic and other heavy metals.

MSM is an additional joint supplement. Some people even use MSM on it's own. I worked with show horses and race horses for ten years and we used a similar injectable equine version of Dasuquin that goes by a different name as well as an additional MSM supplement as at the time we were unaware of a combination formula. Basically two supplements in one. Hope this helps.

MSM- Methylsulfonylmethane Added sulfur for joints. Our vet recommended this in addition to the Dasuquin.

My personal favorite is WHISPER . It contains sandalwood and jasmine which is a marriage made in heaven, it sometimes replaces my Chanel , and at a much better price. Try and enjoy, I am a IPC for d o terra will be happy to answer any questions or concerns, just my opinion, the most expensive is not always the best.

I believe tonalin is the brand name. I used that years ago and I definitely prefer Naturewise CLA to the tonalin. Naturewise is stronger in mg and I feel it works faster.

I'm not sure about this one, but I've tried a few brands. This one works and doesn't cost $90 for a month of 100mg doses so for me the extra fillers are worth it.

I dont know why its cheaper, prices definitely vary depending on brands and sizes of supply. I also haven't used a more expensive brand but I can tell you that this brand has worked for me. It has dramatically suppressed my appetite without side effects which has made dieting easier and I have been losing weight. Inexpensive doesn't always mean lesser quality!

Bergstrom confirmed to me today that Dr's Best uses the purest MSM supplement--OptiMSM. I don't see OptiMSM on Kirkland's label. Since MSM supplements are artificially synthesized from petrochemicals, it's important to seek the purest USA not China sourced. OptiMSM is the max possible 99.99% pure distilled USA/sometimes high-standard Japan sourced. Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings :)

It's been a long time since I bought and did research on this. I did extensive comparisons and read many reviews and my conclusion was the Trimec Classic was the best way to go. From what I can see, they both contain the same ingredients, but the Classic has them at a much stronger concentration.

I got it after a recommendation from an Instagram account, and here are my thoughts. I will compare it to Pre-Jym which is by far the best I've tried. The Vega is less pungent but worse tasting. It does not mix as easily as other more common supplements. It gives a light clean jolt. Vega won't amp you up for a PR or an heavy volume day.

Our experience has been GREAT with Dasuquin!! We do use cat food for the bait and switch it up from time-to-time with a bit of tuna (left over from a serving of tuna salad) and chicken. Good luck...well worth the effort from our experience.Bernie.

I think it is better than Phisohex. I use it the first ten days of every month per doctors order. Way cheaper purchasing in large gallon
