RE: [RC] Yucca the supplement "Red Cell" - heidi

My vet and ferrier suggested using "Red Cell" as a supplement.  It has 
Yucca in it and I noticed that Yucca is banned
"...Nutrient substances" administered in megadoses
to achieve a pharmacologic effect (DMSO, DMG,
Yucca, and MSM.label amounts are as an antiinflammatory,
not as a source of sulfur)..."

Does this include Red Cel?  I thought it was in the mix for flavor or some 
other non medical reason.  It says on the bottle something like in a yucca 
falvored base... I do not remember.

It looks like a good source of vitamens and minerals but what are the rules 
and how are they going to affect the use of this product?


Yucca is a natural source of salicylates--the same stuff as aspirin.  So
yes, any product containing yucca is banned for use in competition.

There are other good vitamin/mineral supplements out there that do not
contain yucca--I'd suggest selecting one of those.
