Independent Trial Compares Verm-X efficacy to Chemical Anthelmintics: Gillian Green BHSAI

Independent Trial Compares Verm-X Efficacy
to Chemical Anthelmintics.

Scientific literature suggests that 100% of U.K. equines have some level of cyathostomin (small redworm) infection due to poor worming protocols. Recent independent research by Gillian Green (2005) an Equine Science honours student at one of Scotland’s leading Universities has compared Verm-X with commonly used chemical anthelmintics. Using an in vitro egg hatch/larval development experiment, the wormers were compared for their ovicidal effectivity, i.e. how many eggs developed into larvae. Verm-X was found to strongly reduce larval hatching by 91.3%, even when only using a single dose and not the recommended 5 day administration.

The results of Verm-X in these trials suggest that this 100% herbal formulation is ovicidally effective. With its gentle action on the horse’s system and no destructive environmental pollution when excreted, it’s a safe and natural alternative. There are no known negative side effects with Verm-X but horse owners have reported that their horses have an improved glossy coat and improved appetite after using Verm-X.

This blend of herbs encourages healthy gut microflora function and should help to improve specific immune responses to invading parasites.
