Good news! Fluid X Plus is helping my Lucy! 

She was limping in the back end and I started giving her Fluid X Plus. About 7-8 days, I saw a big improvement in her back end! Each day she improved. Now, I see her running and the limp has gone!! Thank you Joe for sharing with us this awesome supplement! This is a photo of Lucy! She is 11 yrs old.

Basic Nutrition products are amazing. I’m so grateful that I can ask Joe for a product I need and he sends it out immediately. The best service on the planet. The horses never turn away from any of them. I love to have echinacea and the milk thistle on hand for immune boosting. The chaste tree berry is great for my filly to keep her happy! It is an absolute must for any that appear to have Cushings. I gave it to my 24yr. old retired GP horse who was put on meds for cushings and had his coat shaved every two months from growing so long. Within 6 months he was totally turned around. No long coat, no meds and has a shiny dappled coat for two years now. JIAOGULAN is amazing for hoof health, respiratory function, and connective tissue.
The list goes on with the products Joe provides.
I highly recommend his products and I’m impressed with how they truly work .
Thank you Joe!

Joe,

This is my horse Sahara. When I got her, my vet examined her and suggested I put her on a good Probiotic to get the hindgut moving. I didn’t know you at the time. So I tried a probiotic from a horse equine company. It was okay. I continued to feed it until I saw your information on the ProBio Max. Decided to try it and I’m really happy with the results. Her overall health looks so much better! Her shiny coat, her immune system seems so much better. Our other horse, Caralinda would get gas pockets. We put her on ProBio Max also. The gas pocket episodes have stopped! I have to say, I’m really happy with this supplement! Thanks Joe!

Janice Lange!

I first met Joe online a few years ago, and decided to try some of his Basic Nutrition products for a few of my special needs horses. At first, I started using Regenerex for my injured 26 year old 17h TB, Shine. He was injured as a five year old, and has had hind end lameness since. We eventually added a Selenium, and an HA supplement, hoping to slow the progression of his joint issues. He's getting around better than before using these products, and am hopeful for more comfortable years for him. Being my last baby I raised, I try to keep him as comfortable as possible, without using meds. My next problem horse is Prima. Also 26 years old, and being a Lipizzanner, has the curse of gray horse melanomas. Her digestion has been a challenge but adding Probiomax has helped her tremendously, without any diet changes. Loose stools before, fairly normal now. Joe has been a pleasure to work with, excellent service, fast shipping, and a knowledgeable. Thanks for the help with these two.

Sincerely,

Kris Williams

I was looking for a product for my Rottweiler that had glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM & hyaluronic acid. Not an easy feat to find something with all if that in it! A friend of mine who is an Equine & Canine Structural Alignment specialist recommended Biomaxx Ha. My Rottie has joint & nerve damage and this product has helped him immensely! He's been on it for 3 months & he moves far more easily & is able to keep playing ball- which he loves & I can feel good knowing he's so much better for it!

I have been using Basic Nutrition for my horse for years. After a bout of laminitis, my horses hooves were weak. Joe told me about Hoofefex and it has been a huge help. He once foundered in all four feet and now is sound and healthy with much stronger hooves. Now that he has turned 14, I have added Regenerex to his regimen as well. Not only is my horse on the Regenerex, but my friend has also used it for her horse for years helping him with a stiff stifle. If he doesn’t get the Regenerex regularly it shows.


Once Joe told me he would be carrying supplements for pets, I jumped at it. My german shepard just turned 11 years old and has started showing signs of arthritis in the past few months. In the morning, she would be incredibly stiff. Joe recommended the Fluid X Plus and a noticeable improvement happened in a short time. Raven is now much more limber and moves around much easier in the mornings.


I would and have recommended these supplements to my friends and will continue using them for my fur-babies as well.

This is the story of Peppy Vanilla Latte. She is a 3yr old AQHA cutting bred filly. I had NRHA futurity plans for her. I have owned her almost a year now. Peppy came to me for training with 30 days of training on her already. She was severely abused with the guy that put the 30 days on her and has scars from it. Her owner was taking her to a sale but wanted her broke to ride first so when he saw what had happened to her he pulled her from the other trainer and put her with me. there was no way I could get her ready in time for the sale. I was already riding 3 other horses the man. Peppy had a lot of trust issues that had to be dealt with and if she went to the sale as is I was afraid of her being abused by someone else. I fell in love with her and traded her for another mare that I had. I turned her out to be a horse and recover a little from her trauma. After about 3 or 4 months I noticed a shorting of her stride and I just kept an eye on her. Then her legs swelled so I took her to the vet and he thought she may have an infestation of parasites so he tube wormed her and I followed with an ivermectin 3 weeks after per request from the vet. the swelling went away but her gait didn't improve. Then Peppy started losing weight so I upped her feed and started adding a high fat supplement. I separated her from the others to make sure she was eating. I noticed that she started leaving her feed. I took her to the vet and he pulled blood for her kidneys and they were fine. The only thing that was elevated was her calcium. The vet wasn't alarmed and thought maybe she was suffering from gastric ulcers that had been caused by the previous trainer and never healed. So I treated her for ulcers with no results. Peppy got progressively worse. She was crippled now and could hardly stand. Every time I went out to her I thought she might be dead. She wouldn't eat hardly at all and lost so much weight that her bones were sticking out everywhere. She had bed sores on her sides and legs and even the side of her head. I didn't want to give up on her. I talk to some people and they thought maybe Lyme disease so I treated her for it. Nothing. She still got worse. I had posted her condition on Facebook and Joe Antonelli (from Basic Nutrition USA) took interest in her and so we started discussing different strategies for Peppy. After more research I came up with a thyroid issue and that was the reason for her high calcium so Joe suggested Kelp for her. I was  a little worried about getting it in her since she had no appetite but as soon as I put it in her feed bucket with a small amount of feed she ate it all up. She loved it! The Kelp boosted her thyroid. Honest to God within days of feeding her the Kelp she was standing more and more and eating more and more. It has been around two months now and she lopes around and eats a lot. She continues to gain weight and still has a way to go but people told me to put her down that I was causing her to suffer and that she was useless. But I saw fight in her and didn't want to give up on her. She had been through so much that I felt she deserved a chance. Peppy may never fully recover from her contracted tendons she obtained from laying down 90% of the day but she is far from death. She lopes after the other horses and trots around acting sassy. Its not pretty but she 's moving around! Hopefully she can have babies but even if she can't she is here to stay. Thank you so much Joe for all of your help.

We use Yea Sacc here at Stirling Brook Farms with our yearlings that are prepping for sales. The Yea-Sacc has aided in the over-all health and growth of our yearlings. Since starting the yearlings on Yea-Sacc two years ago we have not had any incidents of colic with any horse on Yea-Sacc. Yearlings on Yea-Sacc have a good appetite, shiny healthy coat, and maximize the nutrients in the feed and hay they are receiving to its fullest potential.

We also give Yea-Sacc to out lactating mares. We have found that all mares are producing more milk. This is especially advantageous with first time moms. Yea-Sacc in turn aids the foals in digesting this milk. We really find Yea-Sacc to be an asset to our breeding farm.

Our transactions With Basic Nutrition USA have been great. All questions we have asked are answered promptly and professionally. Product and service is quality A+, second to none. Thanks Basic Nutrition!

About 8 months ago my vet suggested that my Trakehner's Bear's more often recurring colics might be caused by intestinal ulcers. He suggested scooping him and putting him on the usual ***Gard medications for at least a month. Being more drawn to herbs than pharmaceuticals, especially the ones proven for millennia, I opted to try Ulcerex first with the plan to follow the vet's advice if that didn't help. What a wonderful success! Not only did Bear's spasmodic colics completely stop, his whole demeanor changed for being a perpetually grouchy fellow to a sincere but well-meaning horse. And when my off-the-track QH injured his suspensory ligament, Ulcerex safe-guarded his stomach from all the Bute (that he historically did not handle well). Even better, there was was visible difference from a horse jumping out of his skin during stall rest to a much more resolved patient. The chamomile does indeed wonders. I would not want to be without Ulcerex in my feed room ever again!

After years of showing Western Pleasure, Western Horsemanship, Hunter Under Saddle and Hunt Seat Equitation our then 9 year old Quarter Horse "Buddy" noticeably began creaking, cracking, and popping at his joints. Joe Antonelli suggested Regenerex. We started him on the Performance Horse recommended two scoops for one month. His movement improved and the joints were silent. It is three years later and Buddy is maintained on one scoop a day and is as free as he was as a 3 year old and has NEVER had a joint injected.

Our 24 year old QH was very stiff and would only take short little baby steps. Joe Antonelli recommended Regenerex and said that we should see results in a week. We saw results in 3 days! What a drastic change it made in her mobility and comfort. She looked like a younger horse and started cantering around, kicking up her heels just for fun! She hadn’t done that in a very long time. This supplement really helped ease her pain and made her life more enjoyable.

Thanks Joe!

I've been using tye cal max for several years and have been extremely happy with this product. Tye cal max has shown me results where my tye up counts went from above normal to being normal on a regular basis. My horses behavior on and off the track has lead me to believe that they are not tying up. This is the best product and I won't ever stop using it because it truly works.

My daughter started showing Arabian English Pleasure Walk Trot on an Arabian mare we owned but at shows the mare would get nervous in the arena and want to jig instead of flat foot walk. Our veterinarian recommended I find a product with as much tryptophan, thiamine, and magnesium as possible. Calminex was that product and it really works. We could feel a difference within one week and when my daughter showed her at Arabian Youth Nationals, she walked like a dream in three different classes. Great Product!

I've used basic nutrition's products for years and have had great results. My favorite is Tye-Cal for tying up problems in race horses. In my experience, I haven't had many it didn't help. I also use Recoverex ever since I had a difficult case that it worked wonders on. These products work.
