Ice and anti-inflamatories will prolong the injury since they suppress the bodies natural healing cascade. Sure they make ya feel better but there is a cost.

Zyg, theres a name i havent seen in a bit...
I thought Aquedan was human grade Aflutop (vet)...must have misread....

I actually cant find ANY info on Alfutop. There are several sites that mention it, but none of them actually say what the shit is!

Hey Bigrand,

Alflutop is made by Biotehnos and here is what they say about it:

Alflutop is a natural product with high efficacy therapeutical properties proved by tests and studies performed for over 18 years.

Alflutop, conditioned as injetable solution, contains in 1 ml solution 10 mg bioactive concentrate (amino acids, low molecular mass pepetides, mucopolusaccharides, trace elements: Na, K Ca, Mg, Fe, CU, Zn), maximum 5 mg/ml phenol as preservative.

Alflutop belongs to the group of chondroprotective products having antihyaluronidase, antiinflammatory and analgesic action. Inhibits hyaluronidase excess.

It is normally administered at 1ml daily for a course of 21 days.

Adequan is acutually vet grade and the mfg did make a human grade product also that was used in european countries, I cant remeber the name of the human one but it was pulled from the market last year.

Sorry man but I gotta disagree with you there. I was in a sling for a partial tendon rupture ( 6 weeks ) and didnt ice or take ibuprofin and got ZERO healing, fuckin thing hurt just as bad when I took it out. I started the ice and ibuprofin and made MAJOR gains in healing of the tendon, was back in the gym in 2 weeks. I re-injured it later but right now Im like 85%+. I take ibuprofin nearly every day and ice it down after every upper body workout. Has been working great.

mucopolysaccharides are glucoseamine and chondritin.....sounds like the stiff is quite similar.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid.

Basically same as the oral Glu/chon/msm combo.
