NATUREBUTE - is the
Pegasus Health registered name under UK patent for Boswellia serrata
Boswellia serrata is a
traditional Ayurvedic herb used to promote soundness and comfort, optimizing
blood circulation to repair injury. It is far more effective than Devil's
Claw which is often used in the UK for the same purposes. A description of
the herb and it's uses can be found in The Encyclopedia of Medicinal
Plants by
Andrew Chevallier and published by Dorling Kindersley, currently out of
print but avail-able through www.beaverbooksearch.com. 'Research
carried out in India noted that when the herb was given to patients with
rheumatoid arthritis ...... the majority noted significant improvement in
symptoms such as pain, stiffness and poor grip strength. There is also
evidence that boswellia may be valuable in other auto-immune conditions such
as ulcerative colitis.'
Key constituents:
triterpene acids
including beta-boswellic acid, essential oil, terpenols, monosacharides,
uronic acid, sterols and tannins. NatureBute is prepared from the resin and
cut 50/50% with rice flour to form a manageable powder.
Feeding:
1.5 to 2.5 grams per
100kg bodyweight, divided between 2 feeds about 12 hours apart daily.

500kg and 300g will last it about 24 to 40 days.
