Quarter Horse with Cushing’s

Meet Bailey, a lively 21-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding with Cushing’s disease. After a few months of treatment with Transfer Factor Premix Pellets and the Livestock Stress Pack, his ACTH levels have returned to a healthy range.

Quarter Horse with Cushing’s

ACTH Levels Healthy

He is a 21-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding who came into my life in November 2024. His blood work was generally good, but he was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, with an ACTH level of 63.8 pg/mL (the normal range is between 2-30 pg/mL). I decided to try Transfer Factor Pellets and Livestock Stress Pack, and planned to redo his test in April 2025. The results came back at 18.1 pg/mL, which is well within the acceptable range! I am thrilled with these results and will continue giving him these supplements. He is a very happy horse!

Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets

Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets are available for horses of any age. These highly palatable supplement pellets are designed for your horse’s diet to support growth, performance, and disease challenges. The pellets contain patented immune therapy with transfer factors, mushrooms, and pre- and probiotics.

Description

Our Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets can be administered as a natural catalyst or as an effective substitute for traditional Western medicine approaches to therapy and prevention.

Transfer Factor Technology

Trust transfer factor technology to optimize immune system function. While many products use single, rudimentary ingredients known to aid immune health, Ramaekers Nutrition delivers the only immune support products that harness transfer factors supported by a unique, patented blend of essential nutrients and potent nutraceuticals. For example, see our Mission.

Patented Formulas

Our patented formulas use transfer factor technology. These formulas are derived from a proprietary blend of bioactive peptides based on the synergistic effect of combining naturally sourced biologically active peptides (transfer factor).

These bioactive peptides are extracted from bovine colostrum and egg yolks. To clarify, this blend combines unique plant-derived heteropolysaccharides, lactic acid-producing probiotics, and highly bioavailable micronutrients. To summarize, combining these immune-active ingredients results in a significantly enhanced immune response in equine health, with no adverse effects. For example, see Bovine Products, Canine Products, Feline Products, Equine Products, and Other Livestock Products.

Unique Formulas

Our unique formulas help educate and boost the immune system for overall health and vitality. In short, immune education starts at birth and should continue throughout life with our patented products.

Ramaekers Nutrition’s products reflect a culmination of global research and clinical experience. Dr. Ramaekers is passionate about improving animal welfare. He is proud to be on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine (meet our veterinary team) and nutrition. Learn more about Ramaekers Nutrition.

Natural Pain Relievers

Dr. Ramaekers focused on replacing these nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as Butazolidin and Banamine. To begin with, these pain relievers have many serious side effects, such as bleeding ulcers. For example, see Equine Health.

With this in mind, he formulated products using natural pain relievers, including curcumin, Boswellia, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin. Most importantly, these natural products are equally effective and have no side effects.

Focusing on a mineral balance makes these products more readily available at the cellular level, allowing for enhanced joint health and improved absorption. Moreover, Dr. Ramaekers has replaced 80% of typical Western medicine pain relievers with his natural formulas.
