Horse Supplements Overview

2008-09-24T16:26:00.009-04:00

Preface
Horse Supplements have been getting a bad rap for some time now.
Much of this is propagated by the drug companies who are actively trying to have supplements treated the same way a drugs.
If this where to happen you could see the need to have a prescription to get a vitamin.

Do Horse Supplements Work?
To date there have been not clinical studies done to confirm how effective supplements are for any given ailment.
For this reason, nobody can legally make claims that their product will cure anything.
Ask around and you will find a large community of people who are convinced that they do.

Before you buy

Always consult with your Veterinarian, there is no substitute for an accurate diagnosis. Many ailments in Horses can degrade into life threatening situations.
Tell you Vet about the supplements your using or intend to use, in some cases supplements can effect treatments already in progress.
Check to see where your supplements are manufactured, North America has more stringent guidelines for manufacturers than many other countries.
Liquid supplements generally work better because they can be absorbed more readily into the bloodstream than a solid.
Talk to a company product specialist their knowledge is valuable to selecting the right product for your horses individual needs. Our Product Specialist can be reached at our toll free number 1-800-651-3172
Does you supplier guarantee their products, a good supplier will. We have a 100% money back guarantee that our products will perform as advertised.
Does the manufacturer import the raw herb so that purity can be tested?
