Nutrient Buffer by Vita-Royal?

[ksetrider]

Has anyone ever used this product? What are your thoughts?

Vita-Royal = pseudoscientific quack products. IMO of course. :)

Certainly could be pseudo-scientific quackery. I do have a friend who absolutely swears by the Vita-Royal program, and has a 21-year-old stallion who was going downhill rapidly but is now frolicking again with a new lease on life - she swears the only change in his life has been putting him on the Vita-Royal program. I have seen him both before and after, and have to admit I wouldn't have imagined that he had this 'bounce back' in him. So who knows. Might be something to it. (For all of that, my own horse isn't on it. He's on Platinum Performance.)

I used to dose that stuff all the time at a barn I worked for....went through jugs of it like it was water.

I have no idea if it did anything.....they also fed the Vita-Royal feed, supplements...everything. My horse was one of the few there at the time who got regular grain, lol.

Nutrient Buffer is nothing more than calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide mixed in a generic vegetable oil. Nothing special about it and quite expensive.

The whole VitaRoyal line does appeal to those of the touchy-feely, fruit salad glyconutrient enzyme persuasion though. ;)

Well I have a vet here pushing all the Vita-Royal products and so I did some research. There are some old posts on COTH you can search for.

I can.not wrap my head around the COST :eek: first of all.

But I did get a jug of the Nutrient Buffer as a trade and so I tried it.

It worked on the 2 I suspected were ulcer-ey.

But the Stomach Soother is more in my budget so I use that instead.

All in all, I liked it; just cant afford it.
