We know – that’s a tough question! 

The main difference in the 6666 Joint Pellet is that it was formulated by a Ph.D. equine nutritionist with extensive background in equine joint supplement research. 

The formulation was created to maximize efficacy of all ingredients to support joint function in working and performance horses.

Many joint supplements on the market tout the next best ingredient to combat joint issues with little regard to effective levels. 

This joint supplement takes into consideration effective doses and ingredient interactions to create a unique combination of the most effective ingredients at the appropriate levels.

It’s true that postbiotics (Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product) are most often used in gut health supplements. 

However, there is new scientific evidence that postbiotics support the normal inflammatory responses in a joint and is therefore able to support the ever-important articular cartilage.

As with most supplements, it takes the gastrointestinal tract approximately 7 days to adapt to a change.  It takes the body an additional 21 days to metabolically adapt. Because the joint is such a complex organ, it can take up to 60 days to see maximum benefit from a joint supplement.

Boswellia serrata is a tree native to India that contains beneficial terpenes. 

Terpenes is a fancy term for compounds found in plants that are responsible for the plants’ aroma. However, some terpenes have biological benefits. 

Those in Boswellia serrata support normal inflammatory responses that enhance joint function. 

Legend has it that Boswellia was first discovered in ancient India by Ayurvedic healers who observed elephants eating the Boswellia serrata trees that grow in the Indian region. Elephants love to eat the bark and leaves of the Boswellia tree. They also rub against it, which causes them to secrete a thick, sticky substance called "gum." When elephants eat this gum, it helps relieve their arthritis pain.

These healers already knew about elephants’ incredible endurance and vitality, so they began to use Boswellia for its suspected health benefits.

Cetyl myristoleate is a fatty acid ester that was discovered in 1972 by a scientist investigating osteoarthritis. 

When attempting to induce osteoarthritis in a population of mice to study the disease, the researcher discovered that some mice were resistant to osteoarthritis. The researcher found that mice who were resistant had naturally occurring cetyl myristoleate.  

This led to the discovery of cetyl myristoleate and launched investigations into its role in the joint. Using C.M. itself in dietary form has improved joint pain in humans with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. 

Cetyl Myristoleate is a potent ingredient that helps maintain joint lubrication and healthy cartilage.
