Is Agility safer than steroids & NSAID's?

Yes, Agility is safer than steroids and NSAID's because it is an ALL NATURAL supplement that delivers special nutrients and herbs to the joint, bones and surrounding tissue. Agility is a safe alternative with no side effects.  Steroids and NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can have medical disadvantages such as pancreatic disease, diabetes and liver disease to name a few.

What is the difference between Agility and Cosequin?

Agility is a holistic multi-action formula that contains a combination of many special nutrients and herbs, all of which work together to effectively support healthy joints, bones and the surrounding tissue.  Cosequin is a one-dimensional formula that contains glucosamine only, which does not address joints and surrounding tissue. In addition, Cosequin can be expensive.

A Little Bit About the Principal Ingredients in Agility:

MethylSulfonylMethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring nutritional sulfur found in the tissues of all plants and animals. MSM is a key component in the formation and maintenance of cartilage and connective tissue.

Glucosamine HCl is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is one of the major building blocks of cartilage and is critical in the production of other components required in healthy bones and joints. Studies show that the rate at which glucosamine is used increases during times of tissue stress, broken bones, arthritis, age associated chronic degenerative disease and autoinflammatory diseases.

Sea Mussels provide a natural source of glucosamine-like and chondroitin- sulfate-like. In addition, they contain amino acids, enzymes, chelated minerals, carbohydrates, vitamins (rich in B 12), polypeptides, RNA and DNA. They are a beneficial nutritional supplement for connective tissue support and aid in the utilization of the glucosamine in the formula. Sea mussels have been clinically tested and demonstrated to be of benefit to arthritic humans.

Alfalfa is a perennial (Medicago sativa) of the pea family widely grown as a hay feed for livestock. Most forms are rich in chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamins B6, C and E, and calcium. In recent years, alfalfa has become a minor folk remedy for rheumatoid arthritis.
