Which horses benefit from comprehensive gastric support?

Your horse was designed to consume small amounts of forage throughout the day, so his stomach produces acid 24/7. In a natural grazing situation, where a horse is chewing and swallowing consistently, his gastric acid is buffered by forage and saliva. This buffering action helps keep excess acidity from damaging the sensitive stomach lining. Unfortunately, many common elements of modern horse keeping – such as training, travel, increased stall time, and feeding practices, like large grain meals – are often at odds with how horses were designed to live and eat, which can lead to gastric upset. A stressed stomach can negatively impact your horse’s health, attitude, and performance, which is why providing a selection of ingredients that support gastric health is a smart way to help him look and feel his best.

Research

In a university-led research study, SmartGut Ultra was shown to support stomach health in horses after omeprazole was administered for the treatment of non-glandular gastric ulcers. It aided in the protection of the stomach from rebound acid effects after the omeprazole treatment was discontinued by lowering gastric pH, which resulted in lower non-glandular gastric ulcer scores.
