Free choice minerals & natural horse vet products?

First let me say I am really glad I found this forum! Wonderful information. I was wondering if you had ever used any of the Natural Horse Vet's products? or ABC'S (Advanced Biological Concept's)products? Do you every recommend the free choice of salt's or other supplements?

Thank You

Re: Free choice minerals & natural horse vet products?

Hello BJ,

Thank you! I’m delighted that you are enjoying the site.

I have heard of Advanced Biological Concepts and tried to look at the ingredients for their products. However, they do not list them on their website. From what I could gather, these products are made from vitamins, minerals, and/or herbs. And, from that perspective, they are just as natural as other vitamin/mineral supplements. So, I have every reason to believe that they are wholesome. My only concern would be the amount and types of herbs that are used. Herbs are medicinal, and as such, they can interact with each other, other nutrients, and with medications. So, their use should be carefully monitored.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
