Gastrofen

Supporting horses during times of gastric stress or discomfort.

Gastrofen neutralises the acidity of the stomach contents and soothes the lining of the stomach to protect inflamed areas from further acid attacks. Symptoms of Gastric ulcers: 
  • Poor appetite, poor body condition, weight loss, dull coat.
  • Sensitivity around the mid-region of the body (e.g., when girthing up or brushing).
  • Digestive upsets.
  • Attitude/behavior change, reluctance to train, poor performance.

Features and Benefits :

• Soothes and coats inflamed Mucosal tissue, supporting regeneration of cells. • Magnesium Hydroxide absorbs excess acid in the stomach. • Easy-to-use paste for horses off their feed. • Contains Prebiotics beneficial for stimulating the growth and activity of good bacteria, protecting the lining of the intestine, and improving the balance of normal bacteria in the intestine. • Threonine is required for mucin synthesis, but also for immune system activation.

Feeding & Use

Feed one 80 ml serving per day: 40 ml prior to morning feed. 40 ml in the evening prior to the afternoon / evening feed. Feed for 14 days or as recommended by your veterinary surgeon. Note: Fresh drinking water should always be available
