Radiance Gold...alternatives

[BMA2]

Horse has been on radiance gold for approx a year but I've never been convinced it is liked...go through stages where food is reluctantly nibbled/quite a lot spilt.

Currently going through a spilling/preferring to eat hay so I'm thinking do I preserve and lower the dose (but then is it worth feeding) or am I just wasting money/should ibtry something else.

Also had a similar response previously with brewsers yeast...

Why am going down this route...
Stressy
Not amazing skin

Any suggestions re something else

Split it into it's constituent parts - bicarb, fenugreek powder, brewers yeast, milk thistle. You can buy all of those things on either ebay or whole foods online (usually cheaper).
If he doesn't like it then change the amounts of each, fenugreek is pretty palateable so I would up that, bicarb can be sour so lower that, milk thistle comes in seed form and powder, so the seed may taste less.

You can feed camomile flower or powder for the stressyness, oil for the skin (but bad for the stress), pink mash for the gut which may help skin (but another feed again may not help the stressyness), aloe vera can be good for the gut so might be worth trying for both things, valerian is competition banned but works well for stressy horses..

Yeah...hadn't thought about the separate parts.

I'm.very much if it's not broken don't fix it...apart from the skin we are (touch wood) fairly chilled (I assume they are starting to twig spring is on its way) but sweeping up spilt food is frustrating

I did try the radiance gold and its got that electrolyte twang to it
