Gastric Aid

for Digestion

Today, 37% of leisure horses suffer from Ulcers, suggesting 1 in 3 horses are at risk of developing EGUS.

Changes in our horses' management, travel, competition, and diet can lead to a diagnosis of Gastric Ulcers. Ulcers must be diagnosed and treated by your veterinarian. Still, following treatment, there are many avenues we can take to reduce the risk of re-diagnosis and maintain our horses' comfort. 

A consistent routine, access to ad lib forage, a low starch/ low sugar diet, and providing a forage buffer before exercise are all essential in supporting the post-ulcer horse. Adding a gastric ulcer supplement is great for supporting the delicate digestion system, maintaining correct pH levels, and soothing the sensitive stomach lining tissues.

Key Benefits

  • Supports a Gastric healthy environment for horses & ponies at risk of Ulcers
  • Formulated for horses on a low-forage diet
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae:
    • This beneficial yeast supports hindgut health by promoting a balanced gut microbiome. It enhances fiber digestion and helps maintain a stable pH in the hindgut, which is crucial for overall digestive health. Research indicates that it can also improve mucosal immunity, further protecting against ulcer formation​
  • Calcium Carbonate:
    • A potent antacid, calcium carbonate helps neutralize excess stomach acid, providing immediate relief from hyperacidity, a common issue in horses with EGUS. It also acts as a buffer to maintain an optimal gastric pH, preventing acid-related damage to the stomach lining​
  • Magnesium Hydroxide:
    • Similar to calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide acts as an antacid, providing quick relief from stomach acid. Additionally, it contributes to forming a protective gel that coats the stomach lining, further safeguarding against ulcers​
