Sphingolin by Ecological Formulas uses cows from New Zealand according to my research.

When I was pregnant I was very anemic and the iron that was available was not working. I switched to a product by Standard Process Labs and I was no longer anemic(or constipated) as my body was able to absorb the iron. It contained bovine everything. Of course i did not know the risks then and I don't think I would have taken the chance with my son, but now it's just me.
The risks of Mad Cow have always been minimal in my research. I've never worried about that. Especially when we all take meds what have side effect warnings as long as our arms. That certainly doesn't stop most of us from using several. And going to the hospital is wayyyyyyy more dangerous and we are all willing to do that. Let's put this in perspective. I also use this product and I rarely get mad these days.

I've been taking supps for over 25 yrs and doing fine on my supps. To each his own, it's true... Thanks all.
Caroline, hope you're well. Looks as though it's been another two months since your last post. How are the 2 supps working?

Balanchine, I'm still taking Inosine, into 3 months now, took Sphingolin for 2 months and the burn/tingle is just about gone with this Femoral Nerve Damage. I'm so glad these 2 came to my attention from a naturopath. I'm pretty much up to trying anything holistic that could help me. I've never had fear of mad cow either as I've said I have more fear of the drugs with the long list of possible side effects.

Standard Process was mentioned above and I took many SP products over years for adrenals. And still take an SP product for ligament repair which also contains bovine.

I'm reading thru some Sphingolin posts and thinking about all the fear from maybe taking this supplement from bovine. I'm on this earth 77 years and have been eating ALL meats and a lot of beef all my life since probably 4-5 yrs old...I've eaten meats in the US, UK, Canada and Mexico and no mad cow disease for this ole gal. The company that produces this product is a fine long established company since 1981 and I don't think they would chance using inferior ingredients in any of their products. Isn't this something to think about.

I have no burning issues and feel that "maybe" some may not try it due to the fear comments.

I know some talk about being "iffy" on Sphingolin but FOR ME this and Inosine taken daily for 3 months got rid of my Burn/Tingling on my nerve damaged thigh.

Even though I don't have the burning anymore thanks to the 2 supps I've taken for 3 months, I think I'll get some more Inosine and see if I can't get some nerve restoration. My whole thigh is still 80% numb but not burning.

BTW: I now have ear buds and listened to the video and no mention of Inosine.

I never knowingly took the abx drugs that cause all the damage, but I don't know what kind of abx drip I was given during hip surgery.

Anyone else have any reports on Inosine and Sphingolin?
