GastroKind is a patented and unique formulation, winner of the International Innovation Awards.
This natural, nutritional formula was developed by leading veterinary scientists, nutritionists, and vets. The unique formula promotes a healthy gastric environment, soothes the stomach walls, helps control acidity, and supports the natural anti-inflammatory processes in the gut.
GastroKind can be fed to all horses during or following veterinary treatment to help encourage a healthy stomach environment and is a natural alternative to maintain a healthy gut.
Ficus or Cluster Fig is an evergreen or deciduous tree found all over India and Southeast Asia. Traditionally, compounds in the fruit are extremely high in natural phenolics, flavonoids, phytosterols, and terpenoids, with high antioxidant capacity. Studies using an extract of Ficus glomerata have been shown to support the stomach lining, promote a healthy gastric environment, and help control acidity.
Pectin-lecithin complexes have been studied in horses and support the total mucus concentration in gastric juice. Mucus helps protect the stomach lining from acid. A study in horses demonstrated that the combination of magnesium hydroxide, a pectin-lecithin complex, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae can support a healthy stomach.
Yeast cells are high in a small protein called thioredoxin, a powerful antioxidant found in all mammal cells. Recent studies have shown that oral administration of thioredoxin supports the gastric lining (mucosa).
Magnesium hydroxide, when used in combination with a pectin-lecithin formulation and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can support a healthy stomach.
Alongside Vitamin E, Vitamin C is a major antioxidant. Vitamin C capacity also declines with age and has been shown to have a major role in supporting a healthy gastric environment. The antioxidant Vitamin C has also been shown to support the gastric lining whilst not interfering with the positive effects of omeprazole, making it ideal for use alongside veterinary treatment.
Vitamin E has been shown to aid the natural process of reduction of stomach acidity, acid production, and gastric acid volume. Vitamin E in high feeding rates has significant antioxidative action.
Selenium is an important co-factor for the effective function of antioxidant enzymes and vitamins such as Vitamin E.
