Re: Am I over supplementing?

Hello! Thanks for your response!
I have a question, with the Red Cell, the only thing I like about it (the one gelding and the mare don't have it, they eat Maxum crumbles which are multivitamins at the lowest dose) the thing I like is the appetite stimulant, the one gelding is an 18 yr old TB jumper who is in unbelievable health and fitness but can go off feed (usually his breakfast and lunch) because of his high strung attitude and he also has an infected bone cyst that I'm afraid drains alot out of him would I still get the same effect with the product u reccommended? He only recieves the lowest dosage of Red Cell and hasn't had any complications, only really good appretite and outlook
i havnt exsperienced any soreness from the horses on the mirra coat, again I feed just one scoop which is the lowest dose. They get very very good grain so I don't want to over do it but I want them to be healthy and thrive, thanks!!!

Re: Am I over supplementing?

Hi Amanda,

The appetite stimulating property of Red Cell comes from the B Vitamins. B vitamins have a multitude of functions and one is to improve the digestive function and appetite.

PreOx has a high amount of B vitamins, so this would solve that problem, as well, without the danger of added iron.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
