MMX

Dr. Getty, How soon would MMX be "out of his system" after I ran out?? I had to wait for payday to re-order and am wondering if it is my imagination or would he "revert" to old ways in just a matter of two or three days without the MMX?? ALSO, would it contribute to his putting on a few much needed pounds due to less nervous calorie burning, or is it purely because he has started stealing some of the old man's soaked alfalfa cubes??? Can't wait for the next teleseminar!!!!!!!

Re: MMX

Hello Cristine,

I don't expect you would see him revert to his old ways after two or three days without MMX, so I think you're ok. As far as weight gain is concerned, if he is calmer and not moving as much from nervousness, then he will burn fewer calories, that's true. And the extra alfalfa cubes don't hurt, either!

Hope you found the teleseminar on Aging horses to be helpful!

All the best,

Dr. Getty
