From the looks of the daily doses of Rematrix, there is not enough of anything to be effective one way or another.
I feed 1000 of vitamin C and 400iu of E daily, this is just a taste for a daily dosage in their product.
And with a large breed dog, you'd have to give 4 chews a day to give them not even a daily dose. I can buy from a human pharmacy for much les$.
I'd rather pick and choose the supplements(and dosage) I give, and pay less doing so.

Yes I am using Gloucosamine/MSM I take for my dog. I wanted to know what the difference is with this product that they think is far superior.

Sometimes you don't need a lot of one ingredient (like Vit C) if the ingredients act synergystically with each other.

They don't look hugely different from each other, but it looks like the Phycox has a few more things to inhibit inflammation (like the tumeric, phycox), while the Rematrix has more additional joint health stuff (like collagen, HA). There's a higher percentage of creatine in the rematrix, which might not be good if the dog tends to run dehydrated.

Interesting products. If you try them, let us know how they work.
