Natural Animal Feeds Devils Relief

Product Information

Devil’s claw has been proposed as a potential remedy for inflammatory conditions because it contains plant compounds called iridoid glycosides, particularly harpagoside. In test-tube and animal studies, harpagoside has curbed inflammatory responses ( 13). Stomach ulcers: Production of acid in the stomach can increase with the use of devil’s claw, which may aggravate peptic ulcers.

You can find devil’s claw supplements in the form of concentrated extracts and capsules, or ground into a fine powder. It’s also used as an ingredient in various herbal teas. Summary Devil’s Relief can be fed continually but is not suitable for pregnant mares. May be fed long term with no known side effects The pronounced bitter nature of NAF Devil's Relief not only offers therapeutic benefits but also acts as a tonic to invigorate the digestive system. Given that many ailments are linked to poor digestion and nutrient absorption, this product is particularly beneficial for senior horses, enhancing their suppleness through nutritional support. Keep in mind that certain conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney stones and stomach ulcers, may increase your risk of adverse effects when taking devil’s claw.

For other conditions, sufficient studies to determine effective doses are unavailable. In addition, devil’s claw has only been used for up to one year in studies. However, devil’s claw appears to be safe for most people in doses up to 2,610 mg per day ( 29). Also, some researchers suggest it may reduce uric acid, though the scientific evidence is limited. In one study, high doses of devil’s claw decreased uric acid levels in mice ( 21, 22).

Anyone feeding bute long term. How much are you giving. (I know this also depends on the size of the horse.) Talking 14.1h. Tried devils claw liquid and i dont think it made a difference. Have tried msm and something else name escapes me, as well. Havent tried the nutraquin or boswellia. Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury and infection. When you cut your finger, bang your knee or come down with the flu, your body responds by activating your immune system ( 6). NSAIDs: Devil’s claw may slow the absorption of popular NSAIDs, such as Motrin, Celebrex, Feldene and Voltaren. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 30 million adults in the US ( 15).Devil’s claw appears to be safe when taken in doses up to 2,610 mg daily, though long-term effects have not been investigated ( 29). Medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are typically used to reduce pain and swelling caused by gout. Blood thinners: Devil’s claw may enhance the effects of Coumadin (also known as warfarin), which may lead to increased bleeding and bruising. When choosing a supplement, look for the concentration of harpagoside, an active compound in devil’s claw.

So i bought NAF superflex which does seem to be having a benefit as well as magnetic therapy boots. Again i am a bit sceptical about the boots but some people really find them a benefit so who knows it is worth a try! After speaking to NAF they recommended Devils Relief as a top up to the superflex after a longer/ harder ride as a comfort to her joints. Devils relief seems to have conflicting information. Has anyone had experience if using this and did you see any benefits? What do people think of this? For example, a study in mice showed that harpagoside significantly suppressed the action of cytokines, which are molecules in your body known to promote inflammation ( 14). Common medications may also negatively interact with devil’s claw, including prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), blood thinners and stomach acid reducers ( 31): Of course, there are also conditions directly characterized by inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis and gout ( 10, 11, 12). Similarly, a 2-month study in 42 individuals with chronic osteoarthritis found that supplementing daily with devil’s claw in combination with turmeric and bromelain, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory effects as well, reduced pain by an average 46% ( 18). Summary

Herbal supplements have been gaining traction in equine care due to their holistic approach. Many horse enthusiasts, trainers, and riders are transitioning from strictly pharmacological solutions to embracing the power of nature. It’s caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood, which is formed when purines — compounds found in certain foods — break down ( 12).

Diabetes: Devil’s claw may reduce blood sugar levels and intensify the effects of diabetes medications. NAF Devil's Relief is recommended for a broad spectrum of horses, except for pregnant mares. It's worth noting that in isolated cases, it may act as a stimulant to uterine muscles. My pony who is 19 has twice randomly come in from field sound and the next morning when i go up be really lame on her near side hind leg for no reason i can think of. The second time i had to have the vet up as she was in a lot of pain, the vet could find nothing wrong and the more she walked the better she got and after 30 mins you would never have known anything was wrong! The vet thought it was general degeneration (osteoarthritis) and that she had perhaps layed down for too long and got a dead leg. I am sure because of her age she will have some arthriris but i am not convinced about the dead leg situation. So anyway the vet said.... long term bute!! Which i am not just going to feed a totally sound pony that has just randomly been lame twice in 6 weeks without trying alternatives. Thanks Frances ive got both boys on the Tumeraid already. Been on it a year mybe two now. I took them off all food for a few weeks in the spring when the grass came through and definitely without it he was suffering more. Feeding more than the recommended amount though already. There staying on it. Im taking the turmeric too for my niggles.
