I've had great success using spirulina for horses with seasonal allergies & mild breathing issues. We have roughly 6 horses in the barn on the product now, they all eat it without a problem. None have had any issues with being fussy/not eating their grain. Definitely recommend! My only suggestion is better packaging as it can be a bit messy to scoop.

2 years later Jiaogulan still seems to work fine! No more serious bouts of laminitis, maybe just some sensitivity in the spring, when the grass is lush and the feet softer. I also saok my hay in the spring and fall. I just retired her this year, more due to time constraints than due to her health

I am very happy with my purchase of jiaogulan (and spirulina). I was a first time user on my mare that has suffered from seasonal heaves for several years. I normally treat her with prednisolone and ventipulmin, and she's usually on the medications from the time it warms up in the spring until the start of summer (March/April to about June). This year, I did start her on prednisolone when her heaves started but I also decided to start her on spirulina and jiaogulan. I had her off the prednisolone within two weeks and her breathing on the spirulina and jiaogulan was BETTER than I'd ever heard it while on the medications. If I didn't know better I'd have thought she didn't have heaves. I'm 100% sold on these products.

I have been using this product for my senior Appaloosa gelding to help with gaining weight and for reducing pain related to old age. My gelding also has the heaves and an unexpected benefit I noticed this summer is his breathing seems much better. Normally I have to buy additional supplements to help his labored breathing and coughing but haven't had to do that this year and it's been a very humid season so far.

Still using the Amino Trace for 4 horses and a mini donkey. All look healthy with a shiny coat and perky. My Friesian is doing well on it and looking good. Horses like it still and they get once per day in the morning buckets. I still recommend this.

I've tried other products to help my horse with her hind guts problems but this is the one that really helps. I've experiment with others products because I wanted see if the visceral plus was really the thing helping her. And YES! When I stop the visceral plus, the problems slowly begin to come back. Then I start the Visceral plus and just after 1 day, her belly looks less tense and big, she stop being angry when I'm palpating her and the discomfort/pain go away quickly. I've done this experiment 2 times, stop visceral plus and start again, and every time it's the same: the day after the first scoop, she's so much better, belly so much less bloated it amaze me every time! And the pain rapidly vanishing. No need to try and experiment again: I know this is the product for her! Thank you so ...

I have a 19-year-old gelding who has been on this product for about 8 months. It contains all of the supplements that Jack needs for Insulin Resistance. He is in great condition, has maintained his weight (one of the hardest things to do with an IR horse!), and his hooves are in great shape. This company makes it easy to do business. They ship on time, answer questions, provide excellent customer service, and a top-drawer product. Thank you Mad Barn, Jack's Mom!

I have an older gelding that was diagnosed with fecal water syndrome last September, not only did I try every single supplement under the sun in hopes they would help him and none of them did. Last week I decided to give this a try and I will never look back. He has dried up completely and looks so much better. I can’t thank madbarn enough for making such an amazing product!!

Peanut has had a history of having poor hoof condition since I purchased him as a 4 year old, 5 years ago. This horse has been on a strict 5-6 week trimming schedule (at one point it was every 3-4) weeks to try and combat the continuous flaring and cracking. By the time 5 or 6 weeks rolled around his feet looked completely neglected... talk about frustrating! In the spring I decided to pull some blood work and a mineral panel. After finding out he was deficient in multiple minerals, Delaneys advised to put Peanut on Mad Barn Mineral- Amino Trace; this would balance the minerals he was lacking. (Just an FYI, the horses were on Hoffman's free choice mineral prior to this). Like myself, if your not knowledgeable on how mineral deficiency can significantly affect the body, I highly recommend...

Started using it right away so have only been using it for about 3 weeks on my 24 year old Arab gelding. I have noticed his black coat is more shiny. My gelding had no problem with the taste as I mixed it with his senior feed and he licks his feed dish clean smacking his lips, but then again he eats most anything that's put in his feed dish! I purchased it to help with joint issues and so far haven't noticed any changes yet can't be too judgemental after only 3 weeks. The enviro pak wasn't the most user friendly and I ended up pouring it into a plastic gallon water jug instead, but I appreciate the company trying to use environmental friendly packaging. Very pleased there is a company in Canada and the free shipping is a huge bonus; only wish I had heard about Mad Barn before.
