Location: Oklahoma | winwillows - 2015-01-05 7:38 PM To tell you the truth, our dealer locator sucks. We are working on an upgrade now. We are trying to eliminate those stores on the list that do not keep Renew Gold in stock at all times. Your best bet is to pm or email us and we will get a regional rep involved and find or set up a store as close as possible. Just pm your contact information, and I will work on it for you. Win
When we got a more local feed store to start carrying it I was stoked. I had to cordinate with them though, as to when they were getting it in, because they weren't ordering but a few bags at a time. However, now that a lot more people in the area are feeding it, and they are finaly stocking larger amounts, they done went and jacked the price up by $6 a bag!  |

She is the one with two small kidney stones in her left kidney and we had the bladder stone that was too large to pass removed....the herbs and ACV have helped either her pass a kidney stone and two of the small bladder stones that were there in the earlier ultrasounds.
Most nutritional sites in regards to stones in horses recommended I stay away from the rice bran.
I am not sure why people keep grouping stabilized rice bran with wheat bran in dietary effect. While they are technically both "brans", nutritionally, a comparison of the two would be like comparing cardboard to a complete meal. We should not compare human effect to equine effect because the total diets of the two are, of course, vastly different. That being said, it has been clinically shown that cal/phos balanced stabilized rice bran is effective in limiting kidney stones in humans. Stabilized rice bran is a vital part of the Renew Gold formulation, and is a primary reason that the coconut meal is as effective in the stomach and small intestine as it is. The total daily intake of the balanced calcium and phosphorus ratios from Renew Gold is so small in comparison to the rest of the diet that you should have no issues as a result, even with very sensitive horses. I understand the reasoning that people use in making some of the internet criticism, but it is clear in the majority of those posts that they have very little understanding of the difference between food grade, cal/phos balanced, stabilized rice bran and raw rice bran, or wheat bran. It is kind of like saying " all hay is the same because it is hay". So much for my rant. Renew Gold should not generate concerns in a horse with kidney issues.

You explained that to me in a previous post and hence the reason she is still on the RG as well as all my horses.
Thank you for the explanation again however, it was nice to have a refresher! |

I am trying get away from processed feeds, especially with the current deaths. I am not sold on rice bran/meal or beet pulp. I wondered if you would respond! I've been using tropical traditions for years because of your testimony about them. It's changed my kitchen and household! 
Thank you! They are a very great company with a very great product. So thrilled it is working for you |

Thanks. I'm really peeved though, I either went to or called every feed store near me and none of them have Renew Gold. Only one deals in Manna Pro products at all. I really don't want to pay $60/bag to get it from Jeffers Pet. |

Location: North Dakota | I bought a bag at Tractor supply (in Bismarck) about a month or so ago......You should call and ask them to get it so you can try it. Whenever I need the rice bran pellets, I get in touch with them and they make sure they have it for me. |

Where in ND are you?
I tried to get it in the Sidney Tractor Supply and am not getting any luck with it. :( They recommended to order online and have shipped to the store and the online won't let me even order it. |

The website is BS, I've had to walk in and ask, but if you can get ahold of Bryce (if he still works there) that's what I've done in the past. Even calling didn't work all the time! |
