Anybody tried Adequan injections for joints?

[kx250rider]

I've had bad knees since I was 21, and I'm always doing something to hurt them; between lifting and riding MX. So I talked to a well-qualified horse veterinarian, and have decided to try Adequan shots to see if my knee joints seem to recover sooner. Right now, they're both sore, and my right one has some non-infectious swelling (BIG swelling in the joint). I had some generic Adequan made up by a vet compounding pharmacy (Acetyl-D Glucosamine 20%), and I did a 4cc IM initial dose, and will use 2cc IM twice/week.

Anyone else tried Adequan? Opinions?

5-day update: Had second dose, and not sure how much help it is. My knees are a little better, but I can't be sure it's the Adequan, over normal healing time. I'll continue another week, and make a final conclusion. All I know, is that it can take a nearly lame horse or dog (bone & joint causes), and make them virtually pain-free, and cause their bodies to make more synovial fluid. I do notice my knees not grinding they way they usually do, but flexion is still limited.

Bro kx250, Ive been on the Adequan for almost a year now with HUGELY significant improvement.
Without going into too much detail I am 50 and am blessed with less then stellar knee joints.
Prior to using Adequan I just plain could not squat anything. BELIEVE me bro I tried and I tried everything that I could think of, nothing worked.
Then I found out about Adequan and I tell you and anybody that cares to listen, ITS AWSOME!
Now even when I do squats I can go up and down stairs with no or very little pain. ITS AWSOME!
1.25MLS E4D. One month on one month off. Bro I really really hope it works for you as it has for me.
And one more thing, you might consider THERAPUTIC doses of Nandralone or Deca. I am talking like 200ml/week long term. At this low dosage I get no sides and I do believe its a great combination with the Adequan.
Good luck

Oh BTW, also try taking one cap of Deisel about an hour before you workout. This also makes a significant diff. At least of the original, I dont know about the V2.
Keep us posted plz.

Thanks for the input on that! I'm glad it helped you out, and it looks good for me too, so far. Seeing what it can do for horses, it could be a miracle for some of us with certain kinds of joint problems. And as of now, as far as I know, it's not on radar and not regulated by the FDA. The name brand Adequan is expensive; about $100/dose for horses, but the generic (acetyl-D-Glucosamine 20%), is about $65 for 100-cc vial. Will expire LONG before I ever use it up.

And for those of us on the Juice, who are used to some pain, I'll say this is a totally painless injection.

Um.....I wish it were painless. But here is what I do.
Heat the vial up in a sink of HOT water. Take the vial out and gently shake it up a couple of times.
Pull your dose and get it injected quickly.
Massage vigoursly, and I mean really massage not just rub.
That should make it pretty good for you.
Also for me it is much more painful in my quads, so I rotate my outer calves. For some reason dosnt bother so much there.

Also check out my post of Tendonitus, Tendonisis, Inflamation. You might find interesting!

Nice im gonna do some more reading about this stuff. And propably try it out too. My knees have been fucked for along time now. Hips bother me too.

I would say go for Fatty! The really nice thing about the Adequan is that almost no sides. Now that does not mean there are no potential issues. You do need to be just a little bit does conscious cuz it can be hard on the kidneys. But if you stick to 1.25 E4D and 30 days at a stretch you should be ok.

Get info Zed! I believe adequan helped me as well. Before using it I looked up the dose recommended for dogs and it mentioned using 2 mg per lb body weight, which is what I did for my pup w a bad knee. I seemed to help him tremdously on his recovery from surgery. I decided to do at least as much as him at 200mg every 4 days. Basically the dosage is not an exact science with humans lol, so if you are not noticing anything then bump up the dose and I'm sure you will.

Not FDA approved, just so you know before discussing with your Dr.
