F.A.Q.
Do these
products test?
For U.S.E.F. and F.E.I. our products do not test. The only
product we do not sell to F.E.I. is our "Easy Does It".
Important To Note:
It is the trainer's responsibility to stay abreast of Rule
Changes for U.S.E.F. and F.E. I.
Do I have
to refrigerate the products?
The answer is no, but use common sense and avoid extreme cold
or hot temperatures, and direct sunlight. These circumstances
may cause some breakdown. We recommend storing our products
in the range between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why is
it better to feed a liquid supplement rather than a powder
supplement?
Powders have a low absorption rate in the stomach. A powder
must be pushed into a liquid for it to be absorbed. When powders
are in a liquid state they are already in the large intestines.
Super Joint starts its absorption when it hits the horse's
mouth as a top dressing on the feed.
How long
will it take to notice a difference with Super Joint Solution?
You should notice a difference in the animal in approximately
2 weeks, this could be sooner or later depending on the severity
of the problems, each horse is different.
Are these
products necessary for young horses?
Unfortunately, injuries don't have an age, some young horses
might need it due to injuries and in others you might consider
using Super Joint Solution as preventive medicine. Super Joint
as a prophylactic might help retard damage to your horse's
joints. We think our Ulser Shield functions the same way for
horses under stress. Ulcers are more common than you may think
even in foals and mares in foal.
Is it
safe for any age animal?
Yes, our products are dietary supplements and are
safe for animals of all ages.
How cost
effective is Super Joint Solution?
The average horse or pony at $1.37 per day or $42.50
per month we feel is very cost effective. Most people have
to buy several products to compare with what Super Joint Solution
has to offer in 1/2 oz. for the average sized horse or pony
at a weight under 1,200 lbs. If you compare Super Joint to
other products on the market you will note that they dose
at 1 oz. or more. We feel for animals above 1,200 lbs you
should feed 1 oz. at a cost of $85 per month, still a major
savings. One gallon of Super Joint at one dose a day of 1/2
oz. will last the average animal 8 months and for the larger
animal it will last 4 months for the gallon size.
If you are using Adequan at $50.00 and Legend at $70.00 minimum
cost, we feel they don't compare. We know that you will dramatically
cut back on your use of injectables from what you are using
now. If you give one Legend and one Adequan shot a month your
minimum cost would be $120. With Super Joint your horse has
a daily serum level in his body at a fraction of the cost
of 2 injections. Most important, your animals will not experience
the peaks and valleys of injections. Example, Adequan has
a 72 hour window if relief and Legend is absorbed in 4-6 days.
Each horse reacts differently and once the injection peaks,
what is left is not full strength. With Super Joint, your
horse receives the same amount every day. If your horse is
showing and you feel he could use more, we suggest you dose
load him the day before and the day of your horse show. This
means you double the daily dose. The cost of this compared
to an injection is pennies to you. We are not telling you
not to give injections but feel you will use far less in the
long run.
What is
dose loading?
Dose loading means to double the recommended daily
dose. Horses and ponies under 1,200 lbs receive 1/2 oz, and
above 1,200 lbs. 1oz per day. So double dosing would be 1
oz. for horses under 1,200 lbs or ponies, and 2 oz for horses
over 1,200 lbs. When first using Super Joint or Ulser Shield
we recommend dose loading to help the product get into your
horse's system quickly.
Can I
give too much?
Our experience with giving too much of our product
results in waste because the digestive system only absorbs
a certain amount, therefore it will only affect your wallet
and not your horses.
What
is the shelf life of the products?
It is safe to say 2 years at least. With any medication
over long periods of time, they will lose some of their potency.
We suggest you use the products within a 2 year period of
time.
What
if you feel the product is not working?
Some horses react to some products better than others
but sometimes severe cases require an adjustment of the dosages.
Of course if you see no improvement whatsoever please contact
us. Once you return the product, we will send you a refund.
What
is the best way to use "Easy Does It"
Depending on the situation, "Easy Does It" has many
applications. Your horse may not travel well or does not adjust
well to new surroundings, or he may get tense at horse shows,
or perhaps he is confined to a stall because of illness or
injury. Call us and we can assist you in evaluating the best
way for you to use "Easy Does It". This product
does not drug the horse, it simply will take the edge off.
NOTE: You can always reach someone in the company
if you have additional questions about dosage or a specific
product. We are here to serve your needs and always know that
your horse's well being is our first priority. Thank you for
taking the time to read these questions and answers.
