<< Hormones are also produced by the body. They are highly regulated and
abused. There is a new one undergoing clinical trials that is a equine
growth hormone. There may be a difference between a pharmaceutical and
neutraceutical, but it is largely a legal difference that reduces the
testing necessary before marketing.

The same can be said for vitamin D, carbohydrates, and many other nutrients.
Nutrients like fats and carbohydrates can have dramatic impacts on athletic
performance, depending on quantity, quality and timing of
feeding--nutraceuticls, but your definition. Why don't we ban nutrition until
we get it all sorted out and properly legalized? Can your horse go without a
few meals--couple of decades, perhaps?
