What is HorseFlex Gastro Support for horses?
Gastro Support is a natural blend of herbs and minerals to support a horse’s
stomach and digestive system. For example, the mix contains the mineral calcium
carbonate. Calcium carbonate has the property of neutralizing stomach acid,
thereby contributing to the maintenance of normal acidity. In addition, the
supplement has a calming effect on a horse’s stomach.
In addition to calcium carbonate, HorseFlex Gastro Support contains various
herbs with a supporting function in the stomach and digestive system of a horse.
Chamomile and angelica root have an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect and
a soothing effect on the stomach lining. In addition, Gastro Support for horses
contains ginger root, milk thistle, dandelion, peppermint leaf and liquorice.
These herbs also support your horse’s stomach and digestion and have a positive
effect on the appetite. Finally, the supplement also contains magnesium. This
mineral has a relaxing and calming effect on a horse’s stomach.
When to give stomach supplements to horses?
A horse’s stomach is relatively small with a capacity of about 8 to 15 liters.
This is why horses can only eat small portions at a time. Naturally, a horse
eats small portions spread throughout the day. On average, a horse in nature
spends about 16 hours a day chewing roughage (hay and/or grass). A horse’s body
is fully adjusted to this, which is also very important for the stomach to
function properly. If a horse receives too little roughage or if it has no
access to roughage for more than 2 hours, the acidity in the stomach can become
unbalanced. A horse’s stomach continuously produces stomach acid to process
food. Is there too little food in the stomach? Then too much stomach acid ends
up in the stomach. Stomach acid is necessary to digest food and therefore very
powerful. An excess of stomach acid can therefore irritate the stomach wall and
eventually have serious consequences.
Giving enough roughage is therefore very important for the stomach and digestion
of your horse. To support your horse’s stomach extra, an additional supplement
can be given. HorseFlex Gastro Support has been specially developed for horses
with a sensitive stomach and supports the stomach wall and stomach acidity.
