So i bought NAF superflex which does seem to be having a benefit as well as magnetic therapy boots. Again i am a bit sceptical about the boots but some people really find them a benefit so who knows it is worth a try! After speaking to NAF they recommended Devils Relief as a top up to the superflex after a longer/ harder ride as a comfort to her joints. Devils relief seems to have conflicting information. Has anyone had experience if using this and did you see any benefits? What do people think of this? Also, any dosage of devil’s claw may interfere with medications you may be taking. This includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), blood thinners and stomach acid reducers. Summary Im using Equipalizone, just one a day long term currently but thinking of upping it. Farrier is saying up it, do a trial and see if it makes him more comfotable. I am happy to try this. But thinking longer term. Vet has said i could give 2 if needed.The pronounced bitter nature of NAF Devil's Relief not only offers therapeutic benefits but also acts as a tonic to invigorate the digestive system.

Though test-tube and animal research indicates that devil’s claw can suppress inflammation, clinical studies to support its use for gout specifically are unavailable. Summary

For other conditions, sufficient studies to determine effective doses are unavailable. In addition, devil’s claw has only been used for up to one year in studies. However, devil’s claw appears to be safe for most people in doses up to 2,610 mg per day ( 29). Medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are typically used to reduce pain and swelling caused by gout. You can find devil’s claw supplements in the form of concentrated extracts and capsules, or ground into a fine powder. It’s also used as an ingredient in various herbal teas.
