GUT BALANCER

GUT BALANCER

Winner of the International Innovation Awards, Gut Balancer is a balanced combination of Pre and Pro-Biotics and contains specially protected live yeast, ensuring that high enough live yeast cells reach the hindgut to influence hindgut function beneficially. The rate at which it is fed also delivers the highest amount of yeast compared to any other product on the market ensuring it is highly and rapidly effective. Gut Balancer also contains a source of mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) and beta-glucans,
which help stimulate the growth of good bacteria. In two studies, results were seen in just 7 days.

Why?
Hindgut disturbance in horses can lead to serious problems if not managed effectively. Horses rely heavily on fermentation of fibre by different species of bacteria to digest plant material in the large intestine. Changes in diet, stress and exercise can lead to imbalances between the different species of bacteria, which in turn can upset the environment in the hindgut and cause overgrowth of bad bacteria.

Why is our Gut Balancer Unique?
Gut Balancer contains a protected live yeast of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast inside each granule is protected from acidity, heat and moisture by a layer of dead yeast cells which enhances stability meaning that more yeast cells reach the hindgut alive. Micro-organisms such as yeast which have a beneficial effect on
health when eaten are often referred to as probiotics; when translated this means literally “for life”. In the hindgut, probiotics such as specific species of yeasts if fed in sufficient amounts, and in a formulation that ensure they survive the conditions in the stomach and small intestines, can influence the balance between good and bad bacterial species. By using our unique protection system, we ensure the optimum level of live
yeast reaches the hindgut without being affected by adverse conditions. The benefits include stabilisation of the conditions in the large intestine resulting in the stimulation of natural fermentative activity, improving fibre digestion helping to realise and unlock potential from forages such as hay and haylage and aid the efficiency of digestion. Probiotics can also help reduce the risk of colic and laminitis.

When?
Gut Balancer should be fed on a daily basis to help support a healthy
Gastrointestinal (GI) tract and to help support gut health and aid
digestion. It is also ideal for horses that lose condition at any time of
year. Gut Balancer may also be fed to horses with GI disturbance and
at times of increased risk of GI disturbance such as increased stress,
travelling and competition.
