Anhidrosis

[penny.rose17]

I just started my horse on sweat more because she deals with anhidrosis and I’ve noticed such an improvement, it’s incredible. I have tried everything from one ac to equiwinner patches and this by far has actually given amazing results. She was not sweating at all even on the hottest day here in south Florida and now she is and no more heavy breathing. I’m just trying to figure out now if this is something I could keep her on long term? She’s 16 and isn’t in any work she spends most of her time outside in a pasture. She’s doing so great on it and I’ve even noticed her feet have improved, I think because of the kelp. Is this something I can keep her on all year round? Or only during the hotter months? I worry about overdoing the iodine in her diet. Also, do I need to still give her salt if she is on this, which looks like has a lot of minerals in it?

Here is a list of ingredients:
kelp, L-tyrosine, vitamin A, vitamins B3, B5, and B6, vitamin D3, vitamin E, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, and zinc

Here is a breakdown of those ingredients:
Kelp 13460 mg
L-tyrosine 3400 mg
Choline Chloride 2558 mg
Proprietary Blend 2308 mg
( Vitamin A, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6,
Vitamin D3, Vitamin E )
Proprietary Blend 749 mg
( Copper, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Zinc )

You generally want to have them on the supplement only in the hot season or they develop tolerance. For my horse that’s April to October. YMMV.

I continue to offer free choice salt alongside sweat supplements (Platinum Refresh over here.)

I also only give sweating supplements during the hot season. I force feed plain salt in his grain meals. 3 tbsp per day.

You can get salt without iodine if you’re worried about the supp having enough iodine on its own.
