A horse’s digestive system is unique and has evolved for many years to digest a constant supply of low-starch, fibrous feed. But domestication and modern horse management mean that horses are sometimes fed diets that the digestive system isn’t adapted to resulting in poor digestive health, excess acid and tummy trouble. The peppermint in Gut Plus makes it enticing for good-doers and poor-doers. What are the benefits of a gut balancer? Winner of the BETA International Innovation Award, this fast-acting supplement is a balanced combination of pre- and probiotics to support gut health and aid digestion.

MOS & Beta-glucans MOS and Beta-glucans are prebiotics, which means they create beneficial effects for resident microbes within the digestive tract. MOS is a large molecule which binds toxins produced by “bad” bacteria. Beta-glucans are able to interact with the immune system found in the digestive tract and stimulate it to improve its defence mechanisms. Research has been performed on these ingredients in the production animal sector as follows:

Acid Ease is a unique, concentrated, palatable combination of high quality fibres, calcium and magnesium carbonate, kaolin, amino acids and Protexin probiotics and prebiotics.
