Bozmerix - Opinions?

[deicinmerlyn]

Interested if anyone has used this product and how your horse got on with it. How effective you found it?
vet recommended it and gave me a trial box as I was reluctant to go down the Bute route for TB who is starting to show signs of stiffness.

We went down the bozmerix route with my lad as im not yet wanting to bute him and it has made a huge difference

I really rate it and used for a couple of years. But being a cheapskate, bought top grade Tumeric and boswellia and gave that instead. Bozmerix is far more effective!

Tried the trial sachets after my vet recommended adding Boswellia to my existing joint supplement. Am now using Equicure Flex which has Boswellia and Tumeric but also the glm and other things I wanted to feed. Seems to be helping.

Ah, is it? I was wondering whether to just get Boswellia Sarata!

Are you buying it from your Vet or is there a cheaper alternative to purchase from?

They only sell through vets apart from the trial sachets. They did sent me a discount voucher for the first box though.

I really rate it. My boy has mechanical lameness, he was born with a def3ctive front hoof, which puts pressure on his sholder. After using Boz Merix for 2 months, he has never been so supple. He is walking out so much better and his physio lady (who comes every 6 weeks) has noticed a real difference.

Three of us, including myself, have seen impressive results with Bosmerix and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I had a trial. I didn’t find it made enough of a difference to justify the cost. I can’t remember now much it was but it was very expensive compared to other supplements.

 

[Nicnac]

Good to know that if you collect 6 tokens (one per box) you get a free box! My vet always grumbled as it's a lot of admin for him but it's worth it for me.

It made a huge difference to my ex racer. She's so much happier on it. I had tried a range of things but this one is the closest to how Bute affects her. I am with Rossdales and they only rate this or Science Supplements Flexibility. I will be sticking with BoxMeriz

My wonky mare is on Bozmerix for a variety of back, SI and hindlimb issues and it seems to help. It's meant to be a natural anti-inflammatory and also fine for ulcers, (which she also has!) She definitely seems less stiff and grumpy, she's gained weight as well. I would recommend despite the considerable expense!

I had huge success with the trial packets, but my vet won't stock it!

I think it can be purchased elsewhere

My trial packets arrived today beautifully packed ?

I would be interested. Will PM you now?

Are there any downsides to it?

I was tempted to speak to be vet before winter to start my 23 year old TB on bute to help him through a bit easier but funnily enough this post came up and my vet posted on their Facebook page about it. I had never heard of it before

Absolutely! He can have the other one hesteflex , so we might give it a try ? the other one has soy in it x

no downside that i have read about and plenty of lovely people on here feed it too ?

 

[criso]

Which ingredient can't he have. Equicure do some supplements with Boswellia including concentrate so there may be something there you can feed.

I went with the flex powder as it combined my existing supplement with turmeric and Boswellia. I subscribe to get discounts.

 

[Auslander]

Thie of you have used the samples - are 2 sachets enough to see a difference?

He cant have soya or soybean ?

I hadn't heard of this before, but making it available only through vets sounds like a money making scam as it doesn't appear to contain any drugs

I am not sure it is only through vets? I may be wrong but when I added it to the basket through sound equine it didnt ask for a prescription, but maybe it will if I proceeded further ?

 

[Barton Bounty]

Doesnt look like it does

 

[Auslander]

Vets sell many things that aren't drugs. I assume they only want to sell through vets in order that it is perceived as different from the myriad of other supplements on the open market - doesn't mean it's a scam.

 

[conniegirl]

No, my vet gave me a trial box of 10 sachets, we saw a difference after about 5 but my vet did warn it can take up to 10 days to see a difference.

My vets are a huge equine hospital and well aware that pony is not insured. They are happy to reccomend time rather than investigations/expensive treatment and they highly highly rate this stuff

 

[criso]

My vet recommended it but what he actually said was Boswellia. He said Bosmerix is the one they stock but I could probably find cheaper equivalents. It also contains turmeric, soy and omegas. I already feed linseed which is an excellent source of omega oils in the right balance, not sure what the soy adds, so found alternative that contained turmeric and Boswellia.

It's Hestevard, the manufacturers who say they only supply through vets. Sounds like there is somewhere else but that fact it's not generally available means you don't get the competitive pricing and special offers you get with other products.

 

[Barton Bounty]

Ive been reading up on the hesteflex which is for joints and tendons and has great reviews and doesnt contain soy so it might be a good shout
