No Bute is recognised globally as the definitive herbal joint supplement for horses. For over 30 years, this pioneering formula has been the trusted choice for horse owners. It works to support healthy joints, connective tissue, and overall mobility. This is all without the use of pharmaceutical painkillers.
Unlike powdered supplements that must be digested before they take effect, No Bute is a liquid formula. This ensures rapid absorption into the bloodstream. As a result, it delivers active herbal compounds exactly where they are needed, fast. It is particularly effective for veteran horses (aged 15+). Often, these equines struggle with stiffness. No Bute is also great for any horse recovering from minor bumps, bruises, or muscle soreness.
The 'Therminfusex' Difference
Our proprietary Therminfusex™ manufacturing process sets No Bute apart from generic Devil's Claw supplements.
No Bute is crafted using a specialised 24-hour extraction technique. Meanwhile, other competitors simply mix powdered herbs with water. We steep the raw Devil's Claw root in water at controlled temperatures. Then, we extract the maximum amount of active nutrients, specifically harpagosides. This creates a potent, bioavailable liquid that mimics the horse's natural digestion process. It ensures the "goodness" is easily absorbed.
Studies suggest that the active compounds in liquid Devil's Claw can be detected in the plasma within 30 minutes. That said, they're thought to reach peak levels after one hour. This makes No Bute one of the fastest-acting natural remedies available.
Ingredients and Benefits
We believe in the power of pure ingredients. No Bute is free from Phenylbutazone ("Bute") and banned substances. As a result, it offers a safe, long-term solution for maintenance.
Supports muscle function in the performance horse. Particularly useful in those geographical areas where the soil is likely to be selenium deficient. Contains selenium yeast, safer to use than inorganic forms. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that has the ability to stabilise cell membranes, thus helping to protect the cell from the detrimental effects of excess free radicals.
Liquid Extract of Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum Procumbens): The core active ingredient. It has been used for centuries as a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic. This is because it helps to soothe stiff joints, ease muscle soreness, and maintain flexibility.
Acetic Acid and Propionic Acid: Organic acids used as natural preservatives. These ensure the stability and shelf-life of the liquid without harsh chemicals.
Water Base: Ensures hydration and acts as the carrier for the herbal extract.
- Pregnancy: DO NOT FEED TO MARES IN FOAL. Devil's Claw can stimulate uterine contractions and is not safe for use during pregnancy.
- Competition: Devil's Claw is classified as a Controlled Medication under FEI rules and by the BHA. It must be withdrawn prior to competing. We recommend a withdrawal period of at least 48 hours. Please consult your veterinarian or governing body for the most up-to-date advice.
- Veterinary Care: No Bute is an excellent support for ongoing maintenance. That said, you should always consult your vet. This is especially important for the long-term management of clinical conditions or if your horse is on other medication.
