Cushings Free Naturally- Natural Cushing’s Supplement for Horses

What are the first signs of Equine Cushing’s disease in horses?
Cushing’s disease usually occurs in mature horses starting around age 15 although there are cases in horses as young as 7. The symptoms start gradually with the most noticeable being an unusually thick shaggy coat that stays on after winter and laminitis that occurs out of nowhere.
The link between laminitis and Cushing’s Disease ( PPID ), though not completely understood, is believed to be caused by high levels of cortisol and cortisol like hormones in the blood circulation.

I love this product and so does my horse Charlie. He was on Prascend and had all the bad side effects so I decided to try Cushing Free Naturally and it worked miracles. He is happy, eating again and starting to gain back his normal weight and muscle he had lost over the past 2 years being on Prascend.
Started my mare on this and within two weeks she was back to her usual, spunky self!
I have my mare on Cushing free, Heiro and another joint supplement and don’t know which one or combination is making the difference but something is definitely working for her.
Hopefully has helped lowered my geldings ACTH
So happy with results – thank you we have 2 with cushings one more progressed than the other – the side affects we’re always tugging at my heart, but once I noticed skin issues starting to emerge on one I stopped her meds and found alternative animal by default! Not looking back …
Started with liver cleanse to get best results- the one with skin issues starting has been on product for 1 yr, *she is no longer lethargic and happy to hang with herd* her skin issues quickly disappeared. * now in early March she is starting to shed her coat she has not done this for some years!
Our other molly has been on product for maybe 6months she is less agitated, much more happy to get to work – I did try another natural product with her but it did not quiet her agitation, she was very unhappy – shortly after using alternative animals cushings product she showed great improvement
So thankful for products and hope to see even better results as we give their bodies more time to heal
