...........I'm curious, Matt, as to why you think it's a scam right off the
bat? Did you Google?

Apparently it's a combo joint supplement formulated by a vet. Thus,
probably more expensive.

Cetyl myristoleate, one of the ingredients, has been around for a while:

And apparently even works topically:

Does anyone have any experience?

........No, I'm using Glucosamine, omegas and MSM in one dog. And they get
plenty of chicken breast bones with keels. Luo, X. M., G. J. Fosmire, and

It was the way it was presented to me.

Did you Google?

Yes, and deja-googled. While I found the first link you
mentioned, it didn't contain anything that I thought was for
sure non-biased. Thank you for the other links.
