When horses experience gastric issues, treatment often focuses on acid suppression, through medication or supplements. While this can provide temporary relief, it fails to address the core of the problem. Stomach acid is essential for healthy digestion, and long-term neutralisation may negatively affect gut flora and overall health.
GASTRIGOLD takes a fundamentally different approach with a dual action:
-
Physical protection of the stomach lining – The viscous complex forms a protective layer on the stomach wall, preventing contact between acid and sensitive or damaged areas. This allows healing without altering the stomach’s natural acidity. In comparison tests with the only other supplement that forms a protective film, GASTRIGOLD was found to be significantly more viscous and longer-lasting.
-
Support for gut microbiota – A targeted blend of pre- and postbiotics helps optimise the gut microbiome, positively influencing stress sensitivity and overall digestive balance. This is based on our highly successful GOLDBIOTICS formula, which has shown exceptional benefits for intestinal flora.
Field results with GASTRIGOLD are excellent: in a large number of horses with gastric problems, significant improvement was seen—almost identical to results achieved with medication—even without dietary or management changes.
GASTRIGOLD is a natural, science-backed, and cost-effective alternative to conventional medication.
