Lignans for Life HMR Lignans for Dogs, 40mg - 90 Capsules, Vitamin for Healthy Pet | Multivitamin | Wellness Supplement | 2-Pack

My senior pup is battling Cushings and we utilize this product along with melatonin to help provide support and comfort with very good effects. Won't be without this and have it on auto ship to ensure continuity.

My 11 yr old Shih tzu will not swallow pills & these capsules allow me to cut & sprinkle between spoons of wet food.I wasn’t sure if they would help her Cushings issues & am concerned with the 2 reviews I read about this causing Addisons. Weighing the odds of that, her age, & the potential long term expense with the traditional vet treatment for Cushings vs these, I decided to try them to see if they would work for her. I cut 2 pills to sprinkle on her food. I started daily at first & noticed improvements after a few weeks of use. I’m leery of giving too much of anything & now give the same dose every other day instead of daily & she still seems to be doing well. After about 5 months of use, she doesn’t have as much of the Cushings pot belly now, seems to breath easier while sleeping, has more energy & despite her age, she appears to be overall better than she was prior to trying these. My family has even noticed the difference with her when we go for visits. I’m grateful I gave these a try & they have helped my girl. She is the last fur baby I have left that my late husband & I adopted together. Losing him to Covid was soul crushing & she has been by my side through it all. These supplements were worth trying to improve her end of life years & I’m thankful they have helped.

Used these for years for hormone support for myself as well as my dog post spay. I feel they were good quality but they are estrogenic and after learning more about potential problems with estrogen & estrogenic compounds such as plant estrogens, I have switched to small does precursors such as pregnenalone, DHEA & progesterone (for myself), and give my dog female glandulars instead, with better results.

My dog takes these along with Melatonin for her Cushing's. We tried other brands, but this one seems to really work for her. She has more energy now.

We are using lignans in combination with melatonin and a high protein grain free dog food for my large breed diagnosed with typical Cushings this spring. I strongly suspect he's had Cushings undiagnosed for at least 2 years. He is now almost 13 years old and hates going to the vet (has to be muzzled), so I really didn't want to stress him with repeated blood draws and visits to the vet or all the potential side effects of the traditional meds. Came across the University of TN study that melatonin and lignans can help, so I wanted to give these a try before going the traditional route. I was hopeful that his water drinking had decreased and noticed he wasn't having small accidents overnight in the first week, but thought it was too soon to say for sure. After 1 month it was clear, he had gone down from 4-5 L of water daily to around 3L (upper limits of normal for his size), and instead of going out to potty 4-5x daily and occasional accidents still, to having no accidents with going out 3x daily. I think he could probably stretch it to two at this point, but I haven't tried. He has been on this for almost 2 months now. His skin still has issues although he has had some hair regrowth, so I am hoping with more time that will also continue to improve. Also subtle improvements in energy and body composition (less obvious muscle wasting) - I attribute some of that to the high protein food. I also give him milk thistle because the vet said he had sludge on his gallbladder when we did the ultrasound, and fish oil for arthritis. Overall, I am very happy with the results. He seems comfortable and I know he prefers this to going to the vet for labs!!Update June 23, 2018: A year later and I am back to buy another refill. Last fall my dog ended up with a bout of diarrhea, and since we had to do labs anyway I asked the vet to check a cortisol level. It was COMPLETELY NORMAL. This is a dog with diagnostic confimed cushings disease completely controlled for over a year now. The vet says he's never seen anything like it and can't believe these supplements work! Also, his skin did eventually clear up as well, I think that took about 6 months.
