Location: Northwest | I have been very, very impressed with Platinum. I didn't believe all the hype until I purchased a horse that had been on it---I had never seen a healthier/more radiant horse in my life. I tried different overall supplements after I purchased him but ended up putting him (and others) back on Platinum. I currently feed it with Nutrena Senior but I am process of switching over to Renew Gold. The oldest horse I have on it is 20 and everyone thinks he is 10. |

| I feed it, believe in it, and won't feed any other supplement. The longer I have fed it, the better my horses act and perform.
Do read the instructions - the daily maintenance dose is fed differently than feeding right before competition. I love feeding 2-3 scoops to my competition mare a few hourse before we run (as recommended). I noticed the difference this last October at the CMSA World's Shoot. That little mare was on fire and it showed in every run. |

Location: Where I am happiest | We put our 25 yr old very arthritic mare on the CJ and it has made a world of differencce in her! She looks amazing! She's all dappled out and I had never seen her dappled out before starting on the CJ and she's moving very fluid now unlike before. We started her on the 2 scoops for the first 30 days and then dropped her to 1 scoop a day and she's holding very well. I scoffed at it before especially the price but now I am a firm believer after seeing the results we got first hand. |

Before I switched to PP CJ I was feeding a soup mixture since I was adding a little of this and a little of that. Now that I've switched my horses look so much better and feeding time is way easier. |

In answer to your questions- yes it is worth the cost. What I feed it in depends on the horse. The ones that don't need a lot just eat it mixed with a very small amount of wet cob. My mare that can't eat alfalfa gets it mixed with omolene 400. There is no other supplement that compares, IMHO. The one complaint I have heard about it is that it can make some horses "too hot". I do not personally have that issue. |

| I have fed just about every supplement they make. Have fed these for at least a year at a time so they got a fair trial. Platinum is far superior. If you will you compare supplements you will find that Platinum contains a long list of amino acids (they end in -ine) that other supplements do not contain. Platinum also contains their products Biosponge and Osteon. I got tired of having to order something for hooves, something for joints, something for the gut then mixing feed was mess. I finally decided that Platinum was cheaper in the long run.
I feed one scoop per day.
You can probably get it from a vet and save the shipping charges. If you get set up on Autoship the shipping cost is half.
I also use the product for anhydrosis and have had the best results with it over other products. |

| going to try the Santa Cruz Wellness-the only difference I see is no bio-sponge but it does have Natural Zeolite which is Osteon-if your horse is healthy then I don’t see bio-sponge being the end all, cause it’s mainly for diarrhea anyway. JMO |

Location: the high desert | Question time! I am currently feeding FORCO and tight joints, would switching to platinum performance truly take the place of both of these products? To switch to platinum CJ would not be beneficial to me as the cost of the FORCO and tight joints combined is cheaper than the CJ. Also could platinum performance be fed with total equine? |

| I think of you will compare cost per serving you will be surprised. I feed one scoop of Platinum per horse per day as recommended by my vet. A 17.5 lb container feeding two horses lasts me more than two months.
I was going go switch my retired horse from Platinum CJ to MSM or something I thought was cheaper. When I figured it by cost per day the Platinum CJ was less expensive. Go by cost per day not by the cost of the container. |

Location: the high desert | I have a hard time viewing anything that way because you don't pay for it day by day you pay for the whole tub all at once. The FORCO and tight joints combined is $114 but the FORCO lasts me 2+months and the tight joints last 1 month. The platinum CJ costs $142 and that's only a 58 day supply. The platinum performance is more cost effective as it is $59 for a 69 day supply but if I also have to add the tight joints to it then it's more expensive again. I am strongly considering trying the performance though... |

| I absolutely love Platinum and am a big believer in it. I don't feed CJ. I also don't believe in feed thru joint supplements. It may help the over all well being but it isn't going to fix or prevent any major issues. So I feed the regular platinum performance to both my horses, and my horse with specifically bad joints gets adequan. I think my horses look and act much healthier. I have no issues with them being hot and they love the taste of it. I put it on some sweet feet but only a couple handfuls, just as something to feed it on. I do not feed grain for the health aspect, as platinum takes place of that. A 50b bag of feed now lasts me about a month! I feed it as recommended, 1 scoop 2x/day. Before a barrel race, I'll give 2 scoops instead of 1 (at breakfast). So with 4 scoops a day, the 25lb bucket lasts me actually about 2 months amazingly...even though it calculates out to 42 days. Obviously that's not the case. I think everyone should be on it. Ok maybe not everyone, but a lot of horses needing a complete supplement should be on it. |

that's what I used prior to THE and hated it. My horses went from normal coats to very dull and sun burnt. I did like their Feet First supplement and electrolytes (they are sugar free) however THE is a much superior product. From what I have heard, I think the PP is better as well. I had no luck with the Lung Power supplement they have. Just my personal experience. |

If you feed PP you do not need flax.
You may find that a super hard keeper or geriatric may need an easily digestible fat supplement like extruded rice bran. I would try it first without the extra fat in an easier time of year - like spring - where a horse will be under less environmental stress due to weather.
Just my 2 cents. Seriously, give them a call. Darcy and crew are fantastic to work with and will answer any and all questions. I'm sold on their customer service and products forever. |

Like I said I have used them all. Used to use THE Muscle Mass and did for about 3years.
Personally I prefer Platinum.
If you are using a supplement that you like, I would say stay with what you like.
I have used Finish Line products but not the Total Control. When it first came out, some horses had some problems. Like I said, I have used them a!l. The only one that I have not used is Exceeed 6 Way.
Like I said if you find something you like stick with it. I have world champion horses and mine will continue to get Platinum because I like it. It does a good job and my horses deserve it. For some reason, I can't see paying $15000 or so on a horse then cutting corners on a supplement. Maybe someone can explain that to me.

Curious if they have a trial or anything I could do? I'm looking at getting my horse on an all in one supplement, but was told by his previous owners that he wouldn't touch Platinum. I'd say I'm a pretty good mixologist when it it comes to disguising things for my horse... But I've not been willing to take the risk yet! Glad to hear that my horse isn't the only one who wouldn't touch it. |

We use the CJ for our 3 oldest, and they sent us the regular Platinum "power bars" to try on one of our auto ships-----those things look good enough for me to eat! And the company is unbelievable to work with. So I bet if you contacted them they would be helpful. |

PP won't make 'em worse - but I would call Platinum and ask directly about a feed through additive for ulcers - I know they have them. I think the CJ may have it already in the mix. |

| Longneck - 2015-02-19 9:20 AM Thanks guys! I called them late Tuesday morning for some samples and I just got them this morning! Very impressed iwth their service so far. I was running a little bit late on my feeding, so I went ahead and started a pack.
I received the Performance packs.. is there a taste/texture between it and the CJ? I didn't try to do too much hiding, just mixed it in with his Chaffhaye.
They honestly have the best customer service I have ever dealt with! Love this product but I can't get my picky mare to eat it. |

Has anyone used the Skin and Allergy in conjunction with the PP? I have a horse who is very sensitive to dust and struggles with staying in a stall at all. Would be interested to see how this would help him.
I have used the Skin and Allergy on my old broodmare who has runny eyes. She also has severe allergies to fly bites and it did help some for that. It does work well over all. |

I was very happy that my gelding ate every bit of his feed and chaffhaye. I think if he finishes up his trial like a champ I will order the CJ in the cinnamon since his THE mixture has a cinnamon scent to it. I know he will eat that, so maybe he won't know a difference. |

| So if you feed platinum wellness do you drop all the other supplements? I have forco in my program and I always use an extra fat /omega source. It's very spendy. The platinum might be a little less on the pocketbook. |

Location: Home....Smiling M Farms | I have not fed Platinum before, though I'm seriously considering it now, I know for a fact their customer service is second to none. Last year, I had a foal born prematurely and she was very touch and go. She had a raging belly ache and awful diarrhea. I called Platinum and had them overnight me some Biosponge. They were on top of it, professional, and didn't give me the run around. I got it the next morning. |

Location: White Mountains of AZ | So I just did a comparison between Santa Cruz Animal Health Wellness + Joint Care and the PP CJ. Hardly any difference. Santa Cruz has Vit c, where PP has Thiamin. PP has sulfur, where Santa Cruz doesn't. And 10lb - SC- $107 vs PP- $142. The 25lbs- SC- $266 vs PP- 355 |

seriously, you may not need Forco ... call 'em up or hit their live chat ... they are great at answering all your questions. |

Location: Phoenix | I'm very interested in trying this...but uncertain if I absolutely NEED the CJ. I'd like to do something for joints, but nothing too expensive because I have a glorified trail horse right now. If we were competing it would be another thing. My vet said all you really need for a feed thru for joints is a solid vitamin/mineral supplrment.....so I might be fine with the regular.... |

| Talked to platinum today. Aparently the base formula DOES HAVE prebiotics in it, just not probiotics/Live bacteria. THey told me it was not necessary to feed FORCO as well if my horses did not have any digestive issues. |

Thanks for finding out. I think I need to try a sample. |

Location: the high desert | Ah so it does have a bit of a digestive aid in it. I currently feed FORCO. My mare has been on FORCO for almost a year and I notice, sorry gonna get a little gross here lol but we're horse people so we understand, when I'm cleaning her run some of her manure will be "text book perfect" while other piles will be not quite diarrhea but not what they should be, you know like that nervous horse poop, and I don't understand why. Every time I go to ride and or work her she will get that nervous horse poop as well. I definitely don't think it's the FORCO as she has done this since I got her, but I also thought the FORCO would help. She doesn't show any signs of having ulcers, so I'm wondering if I need more or less of a digestive aid. Or should I maybe just treat for ulcers? |

| They do have excellent customer service and the product is great as well. My horse didn't need it so I took him off of it for now. I also like Equipride if you can get your horse to eat it. THE is great also. |

| Is it ok to keep a horse on PP-CJ while they are being treated for Ulcers? We are treating a mare with omperazole/ rantidine paste. |

I would call and ask but I have heard from a few people that the joint supplements can cause some stomach irritation. My good horse gets ulcers from oral HA for some reason. But the regular pp doesn't have that. |

| I called them and lady was super nice said it would be perfectly fine to keep her on it. She said it had stuff in it that would help her with being on omperazole. It has an ingredient to help with digestion. |

Perfect! They are based out of one of the best equine hospitals in CA. They would know! Lol |
