Global Herbs-particularly Movefree!

[barneyandem]

Just wondered if people used Global Herbs and what they think of them?
I have used Immuplus and restore in the past with great success and have just bought Movefree and Strongbone.My horse has a few joint problems and has just been diagnosed with a low grade hock spavin. He is on glucosamine supplements, Cider Vinegar and Cod Liver Oil for his joints but I have read such good things I would love to hear if anyone has had any experiences with the products!It doesnt seem the most cost effective supplement (£38 for a 3-4weeks supply) for an unproved product, but I will try anything if it makes my horse feel just 1% better!

Can't help you much, but one of the horses on the yard is on Movefree and Strongbone, has been a very slight improvement but the owner is struggling to get the darn stuff down him, he will eat it if mixed in two feeds, but not if mixed together, rather expensive to waste really. Good luck with it and hope it helps your horses.

Ive now tried 4 of their products, all of which my horse wouldnt touch. I tried the immuplus, bumpy skin, fly free and restore. The products smell disgusting and I can understand why my girl wont go anywhere near her bucket and thats on the initial introduction period so no where near as much as she should be getting.

Personally if it were me, id be looking at getting cortaflex, naf superflex instead.

I've used Restore and SarcEx on my mare and was particularly impressed with the SarcEx - after having her sarcoid for 2 years, it fell off within 2 weeks!
Also tried MoveFree Plus on her which I think worked better than cortaflex, altho' it did smell revolting, so it had to be well mixed into the feed or she would leave it!
I've also tried the one for riggy geldings, but it had no effect. Saying that, none of the supplements have worked on him, so guess he's just an awkward one.....!!

All Global Herbs products you have to introduce VERY gradually - i mean in TINY amounts into the feed over a period of a few weeks as they are quite strong.

Bloss has Scratch & Zephyr for her pollen allergy and they work really well - took a while for her to start eating them tho (this was a couple of years ago now). But they definately work.

Thanks everyone!He is already on NAF 5* Superflex-has been for the last 18months.Just thought I would try something else aswell!Ive used their stuff before and been delighted but this one is much more expensive as my tub only seems to last about 2-3weeks!He seems to actually enjoy eating them although they smell foul!Thanks for the advice-glad ther have been a few good experiences!
