Feeding the actual feet....Biotin AND magnesium.....there is no point in feeding Biotin on its own as it needs something to bind to. If you are looking for a painkiller then try Boswellia, more effective than Devils Claw and no side effects. I have heard that Forumla for Feet is very good also. You can also buy magnetic bands from magnetic uk that can be worn 24/7. They can be worn round below the fetlock with the magnet at the back of the foot, which is where the blood vessels to the foot are found.  |
