Devil's Claw is Nature's ANALGESIC, and has been used for centuries for its ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, PAIN RELIEVING properties. Unlike conventional medicines, such as Phenylbutazone which can be only given for short periods of time due to adverse side effects, DEVIL'S CLAW can be given for the longer term, providing much needed pain relief, particularly for horses with chronic conditions, such as arthritis. Providing relief from pain will give your horse a better quality of life, and will give you peace of mind. 100% pure Devil's Claw root powder.

Ten horses were given Bute and ten were given the herbal formula. Horses were evaluated clinically by means of observation for gait asymmetry and irregularity on movement in a 6m circle, a flexion test, and xray confirmation within the previous 6 months. Each test was rated 0 (undetectable lameness) to 4 (maximum lameness), and a composite score (with a maximum score of 12 for serious lameness) was given at each examination. By day 120, the horses given Bute had a group score of 8.6, and those given the herbal formula had a score of 6; this was a statistically significant difference. Montaven S.
