Hi All,
A few years ago an acquaintance of mine was convinced based
on her phone conversation with Dr. Reilly that Heiro would be the answer to all
her pony’s IR issues. For the heck of
it, I decided to see exactly what the pony would receive each from this product
that would bring such promised miraculous results. If you go to the Heiro site, you will find an
analysis for the product in grams per pound.
Nowhere on the site can you can find an easy to understand daily dosage
analysis. Heiro is $47.00 for a 30 day
supply or $1.57 per day. This does not
include shipping. Based on the site
analysis for $1.57 one gets the following:
Crude Protein 700 mg, Calcium 40 mg, Phosphorus 16 mg, Magnesium 60 mg,
Iron 1100 mg, Zinc 310 mg, Copper 40 mg, and Iodine .12 mg. . Yes, mg
is correct. Looking at this product
analysis per day it is iron not magnesium that is the biggest contribution to the
diet
I just read in Dee’s
post that Heiro confirmed the Magnesium amount at 60 mg so I am confident the
rest of my calculations are correct.
There is zip, nada, nothing in this product that would be effective.
Heiro did NOT help the pony, but sadly this did not deter
his owner from her quest to find a “quick fix”.
