YES, Joan, Quite Possibly you could. I don't want to be the one to tell you it is a "fountain of youth" but ask Bart Bartley about what they put into his knees. Hyalgan... Bart and I were discussing this at the Virginia Futurity, how at my Pain Clinic the Dr's are injecting Hyalgan into the knees and making the joints work 80% better. I showed this website to the Dr. I work for. He said, as of right now, the FDA doesn't feel if taken orally it is "absorbed" enough into the body to be considered any help. I told him about my 9 1/2 yr old male and how he is once again willing to breed and bouncing around here like a youngster. He said...the Dr. I work for...who recently married a woman 15 yrs younger than himself..."Hum...maybe I ought to look into this myself"...ha.

I used it on my 9 1/2 yr old male that hadn't been bred in over 1 1/2 yrs. He always was my "nose" for the girls here, up to about 1 year ago. He wasn't even crying for the girls. Horse people told me about it for their older stallions. Not only is it good for joint improvement, but also a support to reproductive systems, at least in the boys.... the female that he was bred to is now almost 6 weeks and I'm about 90% sure she is in whelp. Except I bought the Horse dose, and used 1/2 the dose, as it was cheaper to buy the horse size bottle. Still not cheap, but sure does make my older dogs lots happier. www.hyalun.com and I found out that www.kvvetsupply.com sells it.
