By reading some research put out by Nutramax/Cosequin (I know, bad reference since they are selling the product but oh well), they are saying that the type that is used is very important. It has something to do with the source and the dog being able to use it. Nutramax seemed to have the most testing backing its product but I think other companies are catching up. Because of the concern of certain sources or types being ineffective, I would not use a human product unless I heard specific reviews about from veterinary surgeons... Hope that makes sense.
