RE: [RC] Multi-Vitamin - Jennifer Layman

Susan,
 
What about adding more E or Biotin to this supplement?  Doesn't appear to have that much of either.  If you are supplementing fat, do you need to continue that (i.e. oil) with this product?
Do you agree with their recommended feeding for the endurance horse:
Endurance horses: 1-2 scoops twice daily for training. Give free choice at vet stops during races. 8 pounds during a 100-mile race is anti-catabolic.
 
Thanks, Jennifer

I use to not think there was a helluva lot of difference in equine vitamins, but these days, I *really* like Platinum Performance.  Better bioavailability of ingredients, especially selenium, and I have clients who have been on a good vitamin program for years and still saw marked improvements when they started Platinum Performance.  Yes, it?s fairly pricey, but worth it.

 

Don?t feed extra iron.  They don?t need it, it can interfere with other minerals and the immune system and anemia caused by a dietary deficiency of iron is virtually nonexistent.  Skip the Red Cell.

 

Don?t mix vitamins, you?re more likely to cause problems than solve them.  Choose one and stick to it.

I would like to get your opinions on what Multi-Vitamin to use.  I'm using Formula 747 now but I used to use Red Cell.  The Formula 747 has a bigger variety of vitamins and minerals than the Red Cell but the Red Cell has a lot more of the minerals that it offers.  How much extra Iron should I be giving and can you give too much?  Can you mix Multi-Vitamins?  thank you in advance for all your advice and help.

Kim
