Supplements to boost the immune system?

[flyingfeet]

Ok so poor horse is under the weather with a low white cell count.

Do any of the immune booster supplements out there actually work?

I have seen loads with echinacea, but as that doesn't seem to work on me I don't really think its likely to do much for a horse!

I have been looking at Natural Dynamics Immune system formula & NAF immunforte powder- has anyone used them?

I used Aloe vera juice from holland and barrat. Imust admit to being a none believer in herbal medicine before trying this. My vet told me that as he would not touch the stuff he gave him for a virus this was the next best thing, and it worked wonders

Usually give mine some Echinea (?sp) has always appeared to work for mine in the past.Easy enough to get hold of and cheap.

I have used Equine America's Immune a few times and found it really good, definately think it helped.

I've used Horse Health Emune too and it was great.

I've used echinacea with good results on horses, one horse had very serious condition. Also works very well when I use it.

I am aware that it doesn't work with some people and can actually make the symptoms worse. So I think it's a case that it works on some and not others.

Would agree on aloe vera, is also a good general tonic

Equine Gold from Biotol is fab. If you google it, you should find a fairly detailed explaination about it.

Other than those mentioned, some garlic granules may be good, they are supposed to be good for immune system
