What is it?
GastroAID is the complete gut health supplement
which has been developed and manufactured in Australia. The unique
formulation of nutritional ingredients is proven to alleviate
behavioural and digestive symptoms in horses suffering from gastric
ulceration and other guts issues. GastroAID contains two distinct products, GastroAID Digestive and GastroAID Stabiliser.
GastroAID Digestive is a powder
designed to be used initially when the symptoms of digestive issues are
noticed. It forms a protective gel lining on the stomach wall and
protects the horse from further damage.
GastroAID Stabiliser is the second step in the process. It is a pelleted
product designed to maintain good gut health. It is safe to feed for
extended periods of time, and ideally would be used while ever the horse
has limited access to pasture.
How will it help my horse?
GastroAID works in 5 ways to improve digestive health:
- Lines the Stomach: GastroAID creates a lining on the stomach wall preventing gastric acid from further aggravating existing ulcers.
- Provides Antacids: The Antacids in GastroAID neutralise excess gastric acid preventing any further damage to the stomach wall, whilst the lining created by GastroAID is forming.
- Optimises Speed of Digestion: The Agrimos® Beta Glucans in GastroAID
provide a highly concentrated source of soluble fibre, which helps
optimise digestive speed. This allows for the best possible digestion
and uptake of nutrients by the horse.
- Reduces Incidence of Diarrhoea: The Agrimos® Beta Glucans and Pectins bind to diarrhoea-causing bacteria to reduce occurrence.
- Optimises Hindgut pH: The Levucell® Live Yeast in GastroAID
helps maintain a proper hindgut pH, which is needed in order for the
horse to possess a healthy population of hindgut microbes. These
microbes enable optimum digestion and fermentation of feed to make more
energy available to the horse (from Volatile Fatty Acids). A healthy
hindgut also maintains B-vitamin production at normal levels and keeps
the horse’s natural immunity high.
