Dynamite or Platinum supplement

I've heard they are the best on the market. But which one is better? Anyone uses it? Thanks

Personally, I prefer Dynamite - been using it for over 7 years and became a distributor because of it. I do know folks who have used the PP and like that as well. I don't know anyone who's used both.

We've used Platinum Perf., but it's awful pricey for a multipurpose supplement. Given that our feed is already fortified, our hay is good, and every horse has specific needs, it's cheaper to use just specific supplements, ie. a joint supplement or growth supplement.

I use Dynamite and am also a distributor. I have had great results with it. I have never used Platinum, so I can't tell you which is better.

At the Ranch we use both Dynamite and Platinum. I personally feed Dynamite to my own, with great results. The Platinum fed Horses show great health and balance as well, though. We have compared the two and thier formulas arent that different. Platinum has some stuff in it that Dynamite does not, and vice versa, and the ratios of ingredients are different, so actually IMO, its entirely up to you personally which one to feed. they are both excellent suppliments.

I need to boost my horse (Arab) immune system. He gets all what any horse around him has. Now his lymph glands are swallen on and off for about 2 months. Looks like allergy.
Which PP or Dynamite is cheaper? Which one you suggest more for my horse and immune problems?

Thanks a lot

My entire barn uses Plaintum Performance. It's an excellent supplement and really gives you results. The have the general Equine formula; the specific joint, muscle, respiratory, circulatory, etc. formulas; and then they have Platinum Paks which you can customize for the specific needs of your horse. They also sell Platinum bars, paste, ect. they even have stuff for humans! It's good stuff with a lot of options.

Sharpspal,
I don't know how to compare ingredients. Which one you would use if a horse has some immune issues? Also what is the difference in price?
Thanks

Honestly, being "just" vitamin/mineral supplements, while adding them alone may be all a horse needs to put him over the edge to better health, neither may be what you're looking for as an immune system enhancer.

Here's my take in this (coming from a D-distributor, keep that in mind ). Add the D vitamin product and give it a couple of months to see what you have. Then, you add their product called SOD which, IME, does a very good job at boosting the immune system because that's what it's designed to do - copper, zinc, manganese as the base minerals, all very important in the body's production of superoxide dismutase (s.o.d. for short) and a few added minerals like (I think, off the top of my head) some magnesium.

What is your horse's diet right now?

To price compare, the Dynamite vit/min supplement is $.37/serving, with a serving being 1oz of a pelleted, quite palatable form.
