APF supplement for horses..Anyone ?

[Leena]

We had a mare that foundered last winter but even with the good care, new diet, exercices, she was still ouchy, her eyes showed still pain and inconfort..She is Canadian horse, 16 years old and had a case of retained placenta at her last delivery.

My trimer suggest this product to me, saying it work on insulin resistance for a better glucose assimilation, also work on immune systems.

I am giving this mare 1 ml a day in a seringue..it really taste awfull..It has been a month and half and she is not the same !! You cannot tel she foundered..she is light on her feet, happy, energic..she lost weight..She is like a young girl !!

I want to share because I have never saw such a great response in such a short time

(I might want to try on myself... )

That is great news. Can you tell me more about this stuff? Where are you buying it from & how much does it cost? My friend has an insulin resistant/low thyroid mare & also has previously foundered...she would be interested in this product.

Well I bought it from my local equestrian store..It cost about 65$ for 120 ml, so about 50 cents a day at 1 ml a day.
On line, Smart pack has it as well as Ebay.

That's great Leena! So happy it has worked on your mare! I dont have any need for it now, but we all know in this industry any bit of information like this will most likely be of use at some point!

Thanks for sharing!

Yay for a big improvement in your mare Leena!!! I haven't had a use for this supplement but shall tuck the name away just in case.

I have to tell all of you a secret...I have tried it on myself..

After 4 days I understand why my mare feels so well...I do too ! My pain from arthritis has dropped sharply and I just feel so much better...
I want to write to the company now.

What's good for the horse is good for the human! I tend to use stuff for more than it was intended too, usually with good results.

Leena, just for your info, my Mom started using Turmeric every day, she has a neuro-muscular disease that causes a lot of pain. And the results have been incredible. She just takes a teaspoon of the spice, mixes it in with ketchup or something else and puts it on her food.

This product sounds amazing!! What company makes it? Is APF the company name?
Is this supplement good for other conditions?

APf supplement is made by Auburn Laboratories LLC. You may find the fact sheets on it

I have'nt tried the turmeric but heard a lot of good about it. I know about flax seed, asparagus. These stuff are good to maintain energy.

Right now I am off chemos and was looking for something to sustain energy level. When I saw the super changes in my mare, I figure why not if this may help me for a better life quality. I am not looking for a miracle cure but just a better way to live almost normally.

I was surprised about the sharp drop of my arthritis pain though...It is a pleasant surprise.

Overall this product works on adaptagen along with boosting immune system. So it says for horses it help a better management of glucose and lipids which help the horse feel better.

I use turmeric!

I give it to Lacey with her supplements for her arthritis and it seems to be doing her some good. She's also on Corta-Flex...but I've seen much more willingness and comfort after adding the turmeric. And it's cheap, $3 gets you a big package of it from the ethnic foods section at Superstore.
