Protection for the horse's sensitive stomach.

Gastric ulcers are very common in horses, especially among competition horses, but they also occur in leisure horses and foals. The condition is caused by damage to the protective lining of the stomach.

Gastro contains the barrier-forming and naturally occurring substance lecithin that protects the sensitive stomach against acidic stomach acid. Like a stomach balm for the sensitive individual!

How does Lecithin work?
Lecithin is a natural substance found in the horse's stomach. When lecithin comes into contact with stomach acid, it breaks down into phospholipids. Phospholipids are a group of fats found in the cell membranes of the cells that protect and repair the lining of the horse's stomach.

What is Maerl?
Maerl is a red algae (Lithothamnium spp) that grows naturally on the seabed. It has a structure that allows the body to easily absorb nutrients. Maerl has a rapid effect on the pH value in the stomach but is also effective over a long period of time, which keeps the pH value stable.

• Helps create a stable pH balance in the stomach by buffering gastric acid with a long-lasting effect
• Protects the stomach lining, reducing the risk of irritation
• Promotes optimal digestion

Stomach acid
Horses have a continuous supply of stomach acid, regardless of whether they are eating or not. The stomach acid is strong and can cause damage to the sensitive mucous membrane.

When is Gastro recommended?
Gastro can be given as a daily supplement or for limited periods. Many horses are affected by medication, travel, or competition, in which case it is beneficial to give the horse Gastro. Gastro is also recommended by Swedish veterinarians.
