600g Pouch

Jiaogulan (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) provides nutritional support for horses suffering from hoof pathology, slow hoof growth, weak wall integrity and impaired blood circulation within the hoof.  Jiaogulan has traditionally been used as an adaptogenic herb in Chinese Medicine, helping to strengthen the body and improve blood flow.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Mix into a paste for the horse/pony to lap up, or suspend in water and give by syringe, or mix into a small amount of feed. 
• Discontinue aspirin or herbs with aspirin-like effects (e.g. White Willow, Meadowsweet) two weeks before starting Jiaogulan.

For Adaptogenic Functions:

500kg Horse – 3g (1 tspn/day)
250kg Pony – 1.5g (½ tspn/day)

For Laminitic cases/hoof pathology:

500kg Horse - 1.5g (½ tspn / TWICE daily) Increase to 2-6g twice daily, do not exceed 15g/dose
250kg Pony – 1g (1/3 tspn TWICE daily) Increase to 2-4g twice daily, do not exceed 10g/dose 

Dosing for Laminitic cases/hoof pathology:

Look for:

• Pinker colour to gums and tongue (check this before you start giving Jiaogulan)
• More alertness and energy.
• More freedom of movement.
• If you do not see the gums becoming pinker, the dose is not correct.  Increase by ¼ teaspoon every 3 days until you notice the gums becoming noticeably pinker. Do not exceed 15g / dose. 

IMPORTANT: Do not administer to dehydrated horses or horses with a heart condition. These herbs may contain prohibited substances. This product is a nutritional supplement only, designed for inclusion in horse feed; it has no therapeutic effect.
