Re: For Joyce in Texas re: Equate brand

[Guest guest]

Keep in mind that the Equate brand is made for WalMart, and I'm sure, for

others as well. Formulations will be different in every brand, so your

choice may be to buy one brand and try it for a while, and if it doesn't

work, try another. You should eventually find the one that works for you.

Betty was having arthritic pain a few years ago when the hype was all about

Glucosamine and Chondroitin, so we bought some. That brand didn't work, so

we shopped around. They all list ingredients almost the same, but the one we

found that helped her was from Sam's Club only. Now she's on the hard drugs

and they still don't really help.

Thank you Tracie. I forgot to ask but is it a prescription?

Hi Joyce,

I see already answered your question. I am sorry. I should have

been more specific. Equate is Walmart's generic brand name for

everything. They are the only ones that carry it I believe besides

perhaps Sam's Club. Seriously, try it. His results were amazing. I

am sure your doctor can recommend a dosing schedule. I know his

doctor was happy to. Good luck. Let us know if it works.

It seems I have seen Equate before but I was thinking it was

for pain. I didn't realize they had something for cholestrol.

Is this a prescription?

Joyce, you seem to be a little confused about the brand, Equate. It's not

one particular product, it's a Brand, like Frito-Lay or & ,

etc. They have an entire selection of non-prescription products, vitamins

and other products you can get at a Health Food Store. Many items, like

cough drops can be half the price of a big name brand. Calcium from Equate

is about the same formulation but half the price of Oscal and contains

basically the same ingredients. When you go to WalMart, look on the Health

Food and vitamin row and see all the different items Equate offers. It can

save you some money, and I know you can use that, I sure can.

Thanks Dennis, I realize what you are talking about now. I rarely

go to the vitamin shelf. They do have a large selection of vitamins

and etc there.
