Animal testimonials after using forever living aloe vera products

What percentage of racehorses in training will have gastric ulcers?

30%?  40%?  Not more than 50%, surely?  In fact, according to top Somerset vet David Urch (BSc MA VetMB MRCVS) over 90% of racehorses in training will have gastric ulcers of varying degrees of severity. 

Gastric ulcers in horses are brought on by the same conditions as in humans.  This can be loosely described as “stress”.  Of course, “stress” is a pre-requisite of bringing racehorses up to their full potential.  Horses left to their own devices eat all day and wander at will.  That’s what their bodies are designed to do.  In training they are worked hard, fed more refined foods at specific times and confined for long periods of time. 
For a horse that equals stress. 

How can you tell if a horse has gastric ulcerations?  Well, without doing an endoscopy it’s hard to be sure and the main presenting signs are the same as for a number of other conditions – poor performance, poor appetite, dullness, behavioural changes and colic.  Still if your vet does diagnose gastric ulcers there is treatment available – typically Gastrogard.  Apart from being very expensive, the problem then is that the horse can’t be raced, or at least not for some time, as this is a prohibited substance under the rules of racing.

 Did you know that by adding FLP aloe vera gel to the normal feed, ulcers can be significantly improved or even eliminated?  This product has been around for thousands of years, has no known side effects and the Jockey Club has confirmed that there are no prohibited substances included, so horses do not have to be taken out of training.

Known in the past as the burn plant or miracle plant, aloe vera is proven to reduce internal and external inflammation.  It directly increases the rate of healing of epithelial tissues including those lining the stomach.  Aloe Vera added to feed provides at least 75 known nutrients including amino acids, vitamins and minerals.  As well as improving the ulcerations this can result in improved coat condition, better immunity and general well-being - an altogether happier horse.

Trainers throughout the UK are now adding Aloe Vera to their horses’ diets, both as a preventative and also a restorative measure. 

The aloe vera gel, produced by Forever Living Products (FLP), is simply the best in the world.  FLP Aloe Vera Gel it is certified by the International Aloe Science Council as being as near to pure aloe vera as possible – 97% aloe vera, with the balance made up of stabilisers from natural plant sources to prevent oxidation. 

FLP owns most of the world’s aloe vera production fields and they are geographically located in some of the least polluted areas on the planet.  FLP does not use any pesticides, herbicides or inorganic fertilisers and controls the production through every stage including their patented cool stabilisation process thereby retaining all the ingredients in top condition. 

We horseracing enthusiasts and animal lovers take no chances with our animals’ health.  We give them the best we can and they do the same for us.  This is an opportunity for you to do the best for your animals. 

Now I realise that horses are large animals and that means they consume large quantities of food each day. 
The recommended basic daily dose with FLP aloe vera is 120 cc per day for grade 1 ulcerations (least severe) or as a preventative; 250 cc for grade 2 and 500 cc for grade 3 (most severe).  Of course larger quantities would be required to achieve the same with inferior products).
