I give about a tablespoon a day. -Vitamin E, 100IU per 10 lbs of body weight -Vitamin C, 100mg per 10 lbs given once daily -Glucosomine, 1/4 of a 500mg tablet once daily per 10 lbs of body weight You can also add Valerian for muscle spasms associated with arthritis, tincture - .1ml per 10 lbs given twice daily.

It's working fine and I know there will be no side effects as long as the aspirin doesn't get overdone. I'll add the vitamin C and E as you mentioned, and the Omega 3. Any recommendations as to dosages? That's my main concern. Thanks again.
