I'm now using Ark Naturals Royal Coat which contains Fish Oil, vit a/d/e, AND borage oil. Borage oil contains the fatty acid GLA, which is super beneficial for skin issues and atopy-related skin issues.  |

) Otherwise it's pretty much a wasted ingredient?
And if you don't mind...
what is beef cartilage? It's in Innova's red meat products.
