Has anyone ever used this product? What are your thoughts?
Vita-Royal = pseudoscientific quack products. IMO of course. 
Certainly could be pseudo-scientific quackery. I do have a friend who absolutely swears by the Vita-Royal program, and has a 21-year-old stallion who was going downhill rapidly but is now frolicking again with a new lease on life - she swears the only change in his life has been putting him on the Vita-Royal program. I have seen him both before and after, and have to admit I wouldnât have imagined that he had this âbounce backâ in him. So who knows. Might be something to it. (For all of that, my own horse isnât on it. Heâs on Platinum Performance.)
I used to dose that stuff all the time at a barn I worked forâŠwent through jugs of it like it was water.
I have no idea if it did anythingâŠthey also fed the Vita-Royal feed, supplementsâŠeverything. My horse was one of the few there at the time who got regular grain, lol.
Nutrient Buffer is nothing more than calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide mixed in a generic vegetable oil. Nothing special about it and quite expensive.
The whole VitaRoyal line does appeal to those of the touchy-feely, fruit salad glyconutrient enzyme persuasion though.

:lol:!!
Well I have a vet here pushing all the Vita-Royal products and so I did some research. There are some old posts on COTH you can search for.
I can.not wrap my head around the COST :eek: first of all.
But I did get a jug of the Nutrient Buffer as a trade and so I tried it.
It worked on the 2 I suspected were ulcer-ey.
But the Stomach Soother is more in my budget so I use that instead.
All in all, I liked it; just cant afford it.
Bumping this thread. Vet in the barn just recommended this for a friendâs mare that is suspected gastritis (diagnosed by a fecal sample). Doesnât seem to be working, and I was curious as to why not âreal medicineâ. Not my horse so I canât say much but I feel bad for the herâŠ
I used it a million years ago before we had any real alternatives to treat ulcers with. Wouldnât consider it now however.
Amazing product line. I have seen horses completely change in less than 90 days. A 24 yr old chronic Cushings horse that had not shed out for 4 years was completely shed out in 65 days and back under saddle. Buy it!
Wow, newbie bumped up this ancient thread just to post a rave review! Hâm⊠I wonderâŠ:lol:

Bumping this, curious if anyone has any updates from the past 15 years⊠I get that many think itâs fake science, but would be interested to see if anyone has seen quantifiable/measurable beneficial results (despite the potential lack of science). Specifically from the digestive/ulcer/hind gut/leaky gut perspective.
