The inflammation product is Peruvian "Cat's Claw" -- Uncaria Tomentosa.
I've used both products on my older gelding who is arthritic in the hocks
and he started bouncing around like a youngster.  He's now in a paddock
with several other horses so I've gone back to a monthly Adequan shot just
because of ease of administration, but he didn't need the Adequan when he
was by himself and I was giving him the nutraceuticals  top-dressed on his
feed.  The Cat's Claw is reported also to boost the immune system and I've
started a mare with a small melanoma on it.

And I take both products myself and feel I have fewer aches and pains
(arthritic back) and certainly have been able to cut my own NSAID usage.
