Frequently Asked Questions

What is unique about CON4?

CON 4 is a unique new plant based natural anti-inflammatory agent that has proven chondroprotective and chondroproliferative properties. CON 4 acts synergistically with Sashas EQ’s three marine based constituents to provide a complete joint health treatment.

Can Sashas EQ™ be used with other pharmaceuticals (in particular NSAIDs)?

Sashas EQ is an all natural joint treatment and can be used in conjunction with other medications including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cartrophen (pentosan polysulphate). Sashas EQ because of its potent anti-inflammatory properties can be used to decrease the dosage of NSAIDs and help reduce the risk of possible side effects with this group of pharmaceuticals.

Why is Sashas EQ more effective than Glucosamine or Chondroitin extract products?

Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate are only two of the GAGs which are building blocks for joints and cartilage. Interpath products contain the full range of bioactive GAGs essential for joint health. These include – keratin (essential binding agent), dermaten, glucosamine and chondroitin. Sashas EQ contains the revolutionary new ingredient CON4. Sashas EQ has proven anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, chondroprotective and cell proliferation properties which makes it a complete joint treatment.

Where do you source your marine based GAGs from, and what is your reasoning for using them?

Sashas EQ contain marine by-products that have been harvested under international certified sustainable quota systems and come with full CITES certification. Marine based GAGS are used in preference to mammalian because of the greater bioavialbility. Marine GAGs have a larger molecular size than mammalian and although take longer to be absorbed into blood, they have a protracted disappearance rate so stay in the blood for longer. Marine cartilage also contains the full range of GAGs.
