Product Information

Unfortunately now hes over 25 hes no longer covered for veterinary on the insurance except for accidental so i discovered, so if he gets colic complications he will be a gonna. My funds will not stretch to any kind of surgery and as the arthritis has got worse this summer morally it would be kinder to let him go. NAF Devil's Relief is recommended for a broad spectrum of horses, except for pregnant mares. It's worth noting that in isolated cases, it may act as a stimulant to uterine muscles. Thanks Frances ive got both boys on the Tumeraid already. Been on it a year mybe two now. I took them off all food for a few weeks in the spring when the grass came through and definitely without it he was suffering more. Feeding more than the recommended amount though already. There staying on it. Im taking the turmeric too for my niggles. In addition, a supplement called AINAT has been used as a remedy for osteoporosis. AINAT contains 300 mg of devil’s claw, as well as 200 mg of turmeric and 150 mg of bromelain — two other plant extracts believed to have anti-inflammatory effects ( 18).

Devil’s claw has been proposed as a potential remedy for inflammatory conditions because it contains plant compounds called iridoid glycosides, particularly harpagoside. In test-tube and animal studies, harpagoside has curbed inflammatory responses ( 13). Of course, there are also conditions directly characterized by inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis and gout ( 10, 11, 12).Common medications may also negatively interact with devil’s claw, including prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), blood thinners and stomach acid reducers ( 31):

I will also be limited as to the amount of medication i can afford with the cost of living going up and up so i have to be sensible. Im using Equipalizone, just one a day long term currently but thinking of upping it. Farrier is saying up it, do a trial and see if it makes him more comfotable. I am happy to try this. But thinking longer term. Vet has said i could give 2 if needed. Herbal supplements have been gaining traction in equine care due to their holistic approach. Many horse enthusiasts, trainers, and riders are transitioning from strictly pharmacological solutions to embracing the power of nature. Devil’s claw appears to be safe when taken in doses up to 2,610 mg daily, though long-term effects have not been investigated ( 29). For these reasons, devil’s claw supplements have been studied as a potential remedy for inflammatory-related conditions, such as arthritis and gout. In addition, it has been proposed to reduce pain and may support weight loss.

Feeding guidelines

Though test-tube and animal research indicates that devil’s claw can suppress inflammation, clinical studies to support its use for gout specifically are unavailable. Summary Devil's Relief plays a pivotal role in promoting circulation, a critical component in aiding the natural healing process. As the trend shifts towards natural and herbal remedies, Devil's Relief stands out for its efficacy and safety. Gallstones: Use of devil’s claw may increase the formation of bile and make problems worse for those with gallstones. Similarly, a 2-month study in 42 individuals with chronic osteoarthritis found that supplementing daily with devil’s claw in combination with turmeric and bromelain, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory effects as well, reduced pain by an average 46% ( 18). Summary

Medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are typically used to reduce pain and swelling caused by gout. So i bought NAF superflex which does seem to be having a benefit as well as magnetic therapy boots. Again i am a bit sceptical about the boots but some people really find them a benefit so who knows it is worth a try! After speaking to NAF they recommended Devils Relief as a top up to the superflex after a longer/ harder ride as a comfort to her joints. Devils relief seems to have conflicting information. Has anyone had experience if using this and did you see any benefits? What do people think of this? Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 30 million adults in the US ( 15).My pony who is 19 has twice randomly come in from field sound and the next morning when i go up be really lame on her near side hind leg for no reason i can think of. The second time i had to have the vet up as she was in a lot of pain, the vet could find nothing wrong and the more she walked the better she got and after 30 mins you would never have known anything was wrong! The vet thought it was general degeneration (osteoarthritis) and that she had perhaps layed down for too long and got a dead leg. I am sure because of her age she will have some arthriris but i am not convinced about the dead leg situation. So anyway the vet said.... long term bute!! Which i am not just going to feed a totally sound pony that has just randomly been lame twice in 6 weeks without trying alternatives. Some but not all studies suggest that iridoid glycosides may also have antioxidant effects. This means the plant may have the ability to ward off cell-damaging effects of unstable molecules called free radicals ( 3, 4, 5). For example, a study in mice showed that harpagoside significantly suppressed the action of cytokines, which are molecules in your body known to promote inflammation ( 14).
