Has anyone used this newish liquid supplement from Smartpack?? It’s got HA, Collagen, Jiagulon, Beta Glucan and Aloe I believe…seems like a great concept …my normal Animed Effortless HA liquid supplement is out of stock so I started perusing around looking for another option in the meanwhile …I also stumbled across Formula 1 Noni Blue label but nobody has commented on that one yet.

I bought it a while back when it was 50% off. I’m only using it at half dose. I don’t notice anything earth shattering but my horse is 7 and we’re not treating anything major or specific.
Using it on my 20yr old. No huge change noted. Maybe no change at all? It’s really tough to say since she didn’t have any glaring stomach issues before but is a bit of a worrier so I tried it mostly out of curiosity. I’ve used GutX (did nothing) and Alimend (worked great) in the past. Horsey is essentially retired but will hopefully get lightly ridden tomorrow so I’ll try to make more of a mental note about any improvements then.
This is why I tried it- my horse is a worrier too. Debating if I buy it again or go back to GUT pellets.
If I was just wanting gut/ulcer support I would use Uckele GUT …I was actually more interested in this for the joint support and then just added bonus of the other ingredients…which it’s my understanding that HA & Collagen both support joint lubrication as well as beneficial for the GI tract …I believe Alimend is essentially HA …that’s why I decided to start using just HA in hopes of getting both joint and GI support if that makes sense…Animed Effortless HA is a liquid supplement that’s a fraction of the cost of Alimend and this Smart Perform Gastric& Joint …but it’s also just HA and nothing else
There’s also a pelleted version of the Smart Perform that’s a bit pricier. If the Animed works well though and is more affordable, maybe just stick with that? I saw it at a few places online.
