Location: Bandera, TX | Feedback please. How well does it work to prevent ulcers?
Please only feedback on this product. I have had great success with a few other supplements but may be looking for a change for my new horse.
Thank you. |

I have had my horses and THE with ulcer prevent for many years with great success. One horse is on Cur-Ost, but it's just so expensive. Sometimes I want to see what else is out there.. new horse new game. PP clams to have an ulcer preventative included and just wanted to see the success of it. |

Please elaborate.
I fed it for a year. I didn't notice my horse looking or feeling any different so I pulled him off it. |

| I fed it probably 5 years ago and my horse looked good on it and was sane. However, I got sick and quit riding so I quit feeding it. Since starting back to riding, I have fed Cur Ost and will say he looks better on Cur Ost. At the time I had him on PP, he had no ulcer issues, but I wasn't hauling much then either. |

Yep, me too. I will say that if I were to go to something else, it would be the PP. He looked really good on it and felt good, too.  |

Location: Willows, CA | As someone who has formulated and manufactured supplements, for many companies for many years, I can say a few things about equine supplements with authority. It is a very hard business to be in of you have high ethics. I got tired of trying to impress the need to make every product with formulations that were 100 active ingredients and made without fillers and trendy sales gimmicks. I found it easier to only produce for our own company rather than teach this to others. We made some great products under our guidelines for Absorbine and other companies that fit the need exactly as described. Other companies that asked about our consulting services while requesting smoke and mirror products were simply told that we could not put our name and reputation on a product that did not meet these simple rules. Many supplements on the market have very little or no effect other than to neatly remove money from your wallet. Many are formulated to meet current hot trends and misguided value rather than true effectiveness.
That all being said, PP is one of the supplement companies on the market that actually puts in the bucket exactly what they say is in there. I do no work for them as to formulations or production, so I have no agenda here other than to point out that there are some supplement companies that are ethical, and Platinum is one of them. Now, whether or not your individual horse needs their products or not is up to you. |

As I have said before, I have tried them all. I have given each supplement a fair chance, like feeding for a year. Platinum Performance has work the best for me. Everyone does need to understand that what works great for one horse may not work as well for another horse. |

I don't feed the CJ, but I was paying $132 from one vet and $120 from another for a big bucket for two horses and I don't think it is a bad price compared to everything on the market. I'm a huge believer in it! My horses tail drags the ground, his coat is amazing, and his mane is growing out. He definitely runs harder when on it as well. I just bought my other horse so she hasn't been on it as long, but her coat is already improving!
I don't know if I would pay the money for CJ though, but then again, I probably wouldn't pay money for most joint supplements on the market. I would rather put my money into Adequan or something similar if I were to add in something for joints. |

Please elaborate.
I fed it for a year. I didn't notice my horse looking or feeling any different so I pulled him off it.
I feed the CJ to our horses. I researched and looked into supplements mainly because of Dan (our old guy) in the beginning; he's mid 30s and has arthritis as you can imagine. We had 4 at the time and we put the three oldest on it. Since that time we've added another to our herd so all 5 are on it now. Nobody that sees Dan believes he's his age--he bucks and kicks and hollers for his food at each feeding. Our mare had some suspensory issues when we bought her that we didn't know about at the time (she was run hard for many years before we got her---she was a bang up barrel girl from what everyone told us) and now she's retired from all but maybe light riding around the fish ponds---I truly believe she would barely be able to get around if not for the CJ. The other three boys had no issues until recently when our big paint was lame at the afternoon feeding and was diagnosed with a stress fracture. I called Platinum (they are amazing to work with) and now have him on Osteon to see if that will help with the healing. Our horses aren't hard performers right now and haven't been for awhile because of my bf's back surgeries and recovery. I've never done injections or the other things that are mentioned on here like Adequan or the others that are given as shots, so I know nothing about those. But I know what I've seen with my kids and that the CJ does make a difference---I'm hoping that I see the same in the Osteon with Sonny. Yes it's very expensive, but I feel they are worth doing this. Every horse is different, this has just been my experience with my herd. (The shiny coats and long tails and manes are an added bonus!!) |

No you can choose to have them come out. It is very expensive. You will see a lot of those companies that are on the list also pay a lot to advertise. Most supplmental companies are just concerned with FDA rules and not becoming a member for bragging rights. Supplemental companies have different requirements than companies that make grains etc. |

Location: Illinois | Platinum Performance did nothing for my gelding with bad ulcers. I tried about everything on the market with no success for 5 years, and gate issues that were a nightmare. I can't tell you how many things my horse smashed my legs into trying to get away from the gate. He gets ulcers all the way up into his larynx, which is pretty bad. Three vets said he's the worst they've ever seen. I like Platinum, I give the leftover to my senior horse that is mostly a pasture pet due to an old injury and he does just fine on it. I have my barrel gelding on MVP products as they have helped more than the Platinum did. He is on the Exceed 6-way and Gastro-plex, which get eaten more than the Platinum did since it's a pellet. Within a couple weeks of the Gastro-plex my gate issues went from awful to ok and even went in willingly a few times the last time I hauled him. With every run he was improving and running harder. He gets December and January off so I'm excited to see how he comes back. Huge improvement though for him since I don't think I've gotten in the arena in under 2 minutes in years. I will swear by the MVP products, however they can get expensive, but I feel they are worth the cost. It has eliminated the use of ulcer paste during every run, which he would get the 3 days before the run, the day of, and a day or two after. That gets to be around $50 for each time I hauled him, which is a lot more than the cost of putting him on the Gastro-plex and Exceed 6-Way. Both are great supplements, the Exceed has the digestive support in it, but the Gastro-plex just adds a lot more punch for horses with digestive upset. If anyone would like more info please message me, I can give you info on new customer introductory offers!!!! |

We have a gelding that started getting bad at the gate this fall. He would not go forward, and if you pressured him he would rear up. On the way home from a 3 day race I told my Hubby we have to get him on GastroPlex. I noticed changes with his willingness at the gate in about 2 weeks, and now 3 months later I have no issues with him at all! Occasionally he will be reluctant to go forward, but all it takes is a squeeze of my calves and he moves forward. Completely different horse. |

This product is worth its weight in gold in my opinion. Glad it has helped you so much!! Mine tried to even climb on the hood of a truck to get away from the gate once, I was to the point of retiring him early at the end of the season. I was tired of years of fighting with him over it with nothing helping, I figured at that point it was just as much mental as it was physical and no matter what he'd just stay that way. He's only a 3D horse, 2D at small shows and it just wasn't worth the fighting anymore. I talked with a rep at a show and purchased some of the paste and tried it, by the end of the 3 day event the gate issues were half of what they had been. Even at regular places where he'd really be bad he was going in so much better. I would only have 10-15 seconds of issue time compared to once taking over 6 minutes to get in. |

There is one NOT on the list who refuses to be a member. . . After hearing that news, I pretty much steer clear of those products. It's a challenge to find ingredients on their website also.  |

| If you like Platinum but don't like the cost, you could try Equine Catalyst. I love it and many people in our part of the world are using it now! You can research it on their website www.equinecatalyst.com. |
