I'm not normally one for writing "testimonial" letters concerning products I use. However, I am so completely sold on EQUIZYME that I feel compelled to share my story in the hope that other horses like mine may benefit.

In July of 1995 my Quarter Horse gelding, IMPRESS TO EXCESS, tested positive for Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis, or H.Y.P.P.. The disease is characterized by sporadic attacks of muscle tremors, weakness and/or collapse. The diagnosis came as no surprise, since he was sired by a stallion known to pass the genetic defect. Last summer he suffered numerous severe attacks.

After two major attacks during one week (one occurring in the middle of a trail ride) I called my vet, Dr. Greene, to see if there was anything I could do. He said the paralysis attacks could be controlled, to some degree, by diet. However, finding the correct combination of feeds and supplements could prove to be tricky. We carefully reviewed my gelding's diet and Dr. Greene suggested that I eliminate the molasses-based vitamin supplement I had been feeding. (Molasses is a "suspect" in provoking attacks.)

I was somewhat reluctant to do so, since that particular supplement contained yeast and enzymes which were helping the gelding to maintain his weight. (The gelding was also a "hard-keeper".) I didn't know what to use as an alternative supplement. Then a friend told me about EQUIZYME, She had been using it on her Arabian endurance horses for several months with dramatic results. She gave me a couple of scoops to try, to see if my horse found it palatable.

I added it to my gelding's grain and he ate it readily. So I purchased more EQUIZYME, hoping it would be the answer to my supplement problems. That was eight months ago and I am excited to report that IMPRESS TO EXCESS has not had a single H.Y.P.P. attack while on the EQUIZYME product. The diet I have formulated consists of alfalfa/grass hay supplemented by a pound of rolled oats, a cup of rice bran and a full measure of EQUIZYME. My gelding has a wonderful "bloom" to his hair coat, plenty of energy, enhanced digestion and plenty of flesh on his ribs. He isn't a "hard-keeper" anymore!

Thank you for a wonderful product........ a product you can certainly be proud to offer. I would recommend EQUIZYME, not just for horses with H.Y.P.P., but for any horse that needs to get the maximum nutritional benefit from his feed.

Gratefully,
