vitamins and recovery

Hi Rookie,

While I did try and address your question in the other string where you posted it, it is not going to answer your questions to your satisfaction. Because personally I have no time for additives as I have found them over time an absolute waste of money.

To put that in perspective, during my younger days I worked for two years for a pharmaceutical company that specialized in producing food additives and other supplementary substances specifically for the racing greyhound. The research chemists involved were extremely knowledgeable, and Alex Hauler was the consulting veterinarian for this company.
As you can imagine I had every opportunity to try various products on my greyhounds, as well as a few that were never released to the general public. Out of all the vitamin mixtures, the electrolytes, and blood boosters I never found one that made any difference at all to a healthy greyhound, with the accent on healthy. These products also included substances aimed at reducing the after effects of a strenuous run that, again only in my opinion, were not only useless but in fact caused additional health problems.

Supplements may be of some value to combat or treat some problem the greyhound may be suffering from but in my honest opinion that's where the value ends.

Cheers,
Tom
