PQ should it be kept on hand if needed?

Hi Eleanor,

What are the upper dosing recommendations/limitations for PQ?  For how long?  I noticed Garlic is listed among the ingredients, but even at 6 scoops a day or 6 x 3100 mg = 18.6 grams (Corrine's question) it would appear that it is not an issue, is this correct?

PQ, like Cur-Ost, is definitely primarily an antioxidant/antiinflammatory, not a direct analgesic, and is perfectly appropriate for long term use.  In fact, PQ was originally developed with chronic conditions in mind.

If anyone wants to keep an herbal analgesic/bute alternative on hand, call Uckele and special order standardized Devil's Claw, 2.5% harpagosides.  Start at 2500 mg once or twice daily; can double or even triple (short term) if needed.

Hi Robyn,

Is your horse in pain?

Please can we see a link to his case history?

I ordered PQ  to take the place of Cur-Ost composed mosly of Curcumin. Just curious if anyone has any info. I would hate to be giving my healthy horse a pain relief supplement if there is no pain. He has been rehabbing from a meniscus tear suffered more than a year ago. I was going to use the PQ for maintenance as I have been using the Cur-Ost. Maybe not a good idea. Thoughts anyone?
Thank you,
