Raw Feeders: Fresh/frozen mussels vs. green lipped mussel powder

[hannah]

What you perceive as a negative vibe is merely a dissenting opinion about nutritional quackery.

Don't worry too much.

You say that were talking faith over science in supplementing our dogs diet .... by using the term 'nutritional quackery" in your justification. I personally find this so odd and realize I must have somehow come across in the wrong way because I would never put faith above science... my partner and I are science nerds and that is why we are interested in learning about products like these and whether they can or can not be of benefit. So Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems you may not understand that a key component to the molecular make up of cartilage is both glucosamine and Chondroitin ... which GLM contains... so by supplementing our dogs diet with it, it will aid in the process of maintaining and rebuilding cartilage which can help ease and prevent joint pain... so that's why I find it would be beneficial to try especially when we're talking about a breed of dog with known susceptibility to joint and hip problems.

If you have some opposing scientific facts that we can discuss then let's hear em.... but I'm assuming what she meant by negative vibes was the fact that you are putting something down we all are excited to learn more about and potentially try.. with out any real facts or debate. If you have some though id be interested in hearing them!! An actual discussion would be more beneficial to all I think, cause that is the purpose of a forum anyway right?

Anti-wrinkle creams, "joint" supplements, snake oil, all vitamin/mineral and so-called anti-oxidant supplements for the average citizen in a developed country, any miracle pill Doctor Oz ever talked about, just to name a few... Are useless and a waste of money. In the case of vitamins, daily supplements can actually cause serious harm.

The joint supplement question was answered long ago. The only reason some are still debating about this is because there is serious money involved in this particular scam. Poorly designed and well designed studies abound. Just like all the studies on Vitamin C a few decades ago and more recently, on coffee.

Here is a pretty good summary on the subject at hand:

Meta-analysis: chondroitin for osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. - PubMed - NCBI

I think it would be more interesting to study the placebo effect within the dynamic of a human+dog relationship. I would assume someone already worked on the subject. I'll look into it

I am sorry, but your posts are somehow not reaching me.

Either way, have a wonderful day & always remember : when you stop looking at the world in a negative way, a lot of doors will open

Im off to give my guys their magic potion mixed into their freshly hunted meat. Cheers!

I'm still not sure if what your saying is relevant... no one said anything about Dr Oz or a miracle pill... or anti wrinkle cream... We're talking about mussels...

And regarding your link.. here is one I found.. a study that shows GLM was proven beneficial for dogs

Evaluating Complementary Therapies for Canine Osteoarthritis Part I: Green-lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus)

Regardless, you will always be able to find conflicting Information on the Internet... and there are billions of people on this planet all with their own opinions. You are entitled to yours and us to ours
