A powdered daily use supplement for performance horses designed to support gastric health. Perfect for performance horses. 

Ulcers in Horses
Up to 90% of racehorses and 60% of sport horses as well as mares and foals are affected by ulcers.
Studies have shown that even the smallest change in routine can cause gastric ulcers in as little as five days.

The importance of calcium and magnesium:

• Thirty-five percent of the horse’s body contains calcium. The body needs this important mineral not only for bones and teeth but also for muscle contraction, blood clotting, enzymatic functions, and cell membrane functions.
• Magnesium plays important roles in nerve and muscle function. Along with calcium, it is one of the major minerals in bone. While calcium is critical for muscle contraction, magnesium is critical for muscle relaxation.
• Calcium is an important stomach acid buffer but unlike omeprazole, it does not stop the production of stomach acid. When calcium buffers stomach acid, the body is still able to digest proteins and absorb minerals.

Results

Gastro Sport is designed to aid gut function and stabilize stomach pH. It also has a calming effect due to added magnesium. With high levels of L-Glutamine, Gastro Sport strengthens intestinal villi against stressors and maximizes nutrient absorption along the small intestine. L-Glutamine also helps protect against gut damage.

Gastro Sport supplies nitrogen to immune cells in the intestinal mucosa, including T-cells, B-cells, macrophages, and neutrophils. After glucose, L-Glutamine is the primary fuel for intestinal epithelial cells, which maintain gut integrity by absorbing nutrients while keeping pathogens out.
