Devils Claw

Has anyone used a form of this before? Obviously in a non-competing (affiliated) horse.

Curious to know if it has been effective, or if turmeric has similar results.

I used the naf one for a while for my pony who has arthritis. It definitely helped him. Have not ever used turmeric, so I don’t know how they compare.

Harpagyl is amazing, will make a huge difference

I used NoBute on a horse with mild arthritis and there was a huge improvement. I was really surprised at how effective it was.

I've not used DC but was pleased with boswellia

it's frankincense essentially, there is some interesting human reasearch though it was a while ago when I looked.
I put F on it at a time when his hock spavin played up a bit, I didn't tell anyone I had done so and several people including my experienced YO asked what I had changed.

He was on it for about 3 years but as we've had to move up to the bute now (at 25) I've taken him off it just as it is also processed in the liver and his has had issues.

It's a devils claw supplement (I like to think of it a super strength) it made a huge difference to my horse.

I have had very good results for my boy on Naf Devils Relief. He never comes out of his stable stiff since he has been on it.
