Re: pre navicular & artho

Greetings Mandy,

The exact ingredients of Recovery EQ are not apparent, and considered proprietary, which is why it is difficult to make intelligent comments about it.

But, PreOx contains grapeseed extract (which contains an antioxidant) along with other important antioxidants. And, you could give one ounce of this along with Reitsport. So, take a look at this option.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am delighted to be able to help -- and I hope that your big, sweet fellow, Galileo, improves.

Also, another supplement you might consider is DMG. This will be helpful in moderating his muscle and respiratory fatigue.

I hope this is helpful and special regards to your daughter,

Dr. Getty
