I read an old post and was wondering if there was anything to this. Someone said with all my horses' problems, just to boost his immune system and it would all go away! Vet originally also stated that Brave needed an immune booster, but the immune booster he recommended was within a flax based product and my boy gained weight in the first week, I took him off it and off the weight came.
So I'm looking for a straight immune booster...
Here's the transfer factor ingredients:
Recommended Use:
For situations where optimal immune function is desired to maintain and support overall health and wellness.
Transfer Factor Animal Stress Pack is formulated for all stress conditions to promote optimal immune function,
electrolyte balance and gastro-intestinal health.

This product is designed to assist immune system function and complement current diet and dietary supplements.
It will not interfere with normal treatment protocols and can be used safely with medications, including antibiotics.

Transfer Factor XF®
A patented concentrate of transfer factors and other natural components from bovine colostrum.

Aileen,
I did use this on my horse once when he was in the middle of foundering.
I didn't see any difference and I thought it was darn expensive.
But I only used it once. Maybe it takes more than that. |

This continues to be what could at best be described as experimental therapy.

Aileen,
What I meant to say is that I used the 7 day treatment one time. I think it was $70. Wish I hadn't spent that money! |
