Why don't people have heart guard?

People still walk barefoot in the South

Not sure, maybe they assume we monitor our stool more, or regularly see doctors we can't afford.

The medicine they use isn't expensive to mass produce either. Had a coworker in college who's family ran a cow farm, and she told me to stop paying so much for heart guard... As they essentially just adjust dosages by weight of the same product for cows for pennies on the dollar..... Which I wouldconsult a professional before doing, but if it is fine for our pets, and the animals we eat, I can't imagine we couldn't mass produce a cheap alternative for humans as well.
