Vitamin E?

[Simkie]

@magienoire

There are two strengths of Elevate. One is Elevate Maintenance (widely available) and the other is Elevate Concentrate (usually only from vets, but also Allivet.com and Amazon.com). I use the Concentrate version, best price is usually Allivet on autoship. I fed 10000 IU daily for a year after cervical stabilization surgery, and now feed 5000 IU daily, probably forever. The Concentrate is the better deal, obviously. This brand was recommended by the surgeon and attending vet.

You’re talking about this?

It’s powdered? It’s analogous to the Santa Cruz powder. There’s nothing magical or special about it other than the cost :lol:

I just ordered some (d-alpha) from Amazon for $18 for a 50 day supply which comes out to 36 cents/day.

$.36 for how many IU?

I just read a bunch of the posts from this and earlier Vit E threads. Seems like Santa Cruz Vet E comes highly recommended and was the least expensive way to go. So I went to their website and saw this:
[h=2]Santa Cruz Animal Health Satisfaction Guarantee[/h]
We appreciate your business. If you are not completely satisfied with any product, simply return the unopened item along with the original invoice within 30 days of purchase for replacement, exchange or refund.

It makes me wonder how you can not be satisfied with a product if you never “opened it” and tried it. Never heard of a Guarantee like this before. Makes me wonder. Has anyone ever tested their product to see if it actually contains what they say it does? Playing devil’s advocate here as I want to start my horses on a Vit E supplement but want to know what I’m getting.

Have you had your other supplements and feeds tested to ensure you’re getting what the label claims? Most of us are okay with trusting the various companies we purchase from.

I think it’s @Bugs-n-Frodo who works at Santa Cruz. Perhaps she can answer your questions about the guarantee.

Simkie,

No I don’t test my supplements but I was just surprised to read their return policy that states (loosely quoted) “if not satisfied with product, return the UNOPENED product for a full refund” I was questioning how you could be unsatisfied with a product that you didn’t even try.

Black Points - If the product is unopened, we ask you return the unopened product in order to receive your refund. We often get customer who call and say “I decided I don’t want this” - we aren’t going to give a refund for those products until they are returned. For opened products, we don’t want them back.
