Now established as one of the leading gastric products is a scientifically-formulated food supplement designed to have a multi-faceted approach to gastro-intestinal health.
Horses are natural grazers and can spend up to 22 hours per day in a field grazing. This causes the continuous production of gastric acid. The constant grazing should produce enough saliva to balance this acid however when horses are in training, working or travelling their feeding regime is often reduced to just two or three feeds per day.
GastroCare's soluble fibres absorb some of the excess acid, while glutamine aids the stomach lining. It's unique formula helps maintain normal acid levels in the horse's gut. GastroCare contains natural buffers plus L-Glutamic acid to help counteract the gastric effects of modern practices.
Gastro Care is a scientifically-formulated food supplement designed to have a multi-faceted approach to gastrointestinal health.
Gastro Care contains Antacids that help mimic the effects of saliva and protect the stomach lining from acid. Soluble fibres can absorb, and buffer excess acid and L-Glutamic acid can help to aid the regeneration of the stomach lining. Gastroc Care is apple flavoured and can also help with Crib Biters and Wind Suckers.
Sodium and calcium carbonates act as antacids by helping neutralise excess gastric acidity to allowing gastric mucosa to repair.
Apple fibre and pectin complex. Apple fibres and pectin supply soluble and insoluble fibres and help to stabilise the protective layer of mucus on the stomach lining as well as binding (neutralising) bile acids.
