GASTRO-KALM AN EXCITING NEW PRODUCT
BY EQUUS HEALTH
It is thought that nearly half of all horses experience some degree of stomach ulceration. This is caused by a modern lifestyle which prevents the horse from trickle feeding in the manner he evolved to do. Unlike humans, the horse produces stomach acid continuously, so if his stomach is regularly empty the sensitive lining can become sore and painful, leading to digestive upset, poor performance and eventually ulcers.
At the current time, many of recommended treatment regimes are incredibly expensive, but this does not always need to be the case. The feeding of charcoal, one of the oldest natural supplements known to man, can provide effective, quick and often superior results at a fraction of the cost.
Charcoal is a highly porous compound with a massive surface area which attracts toxins and acids so that they can be safely excreted from the system. Its health benefits have been well documented and it has been used as a method for eliminating poisons since 1550 BC. Importantly, charcoal is selective and does not have any effect on the nutrients in the diet, it just passes through the gut mopping up unwanted and potentially damaging substances, with no detrimental side effects.
However, not all charcoal is the same and it is important to select a product which has been specially designed for horses. Gastro-Kalm, the brand new charcoal supplement from Equus Health is made from the highest quality, activated hardwood charcoal. Gastro-Kalm is highly porous and provides the maximum surface area for adsorbing excess acid and toxins so that they can be safely excreted from the digestive tract. Uniquely, Gastro-Kalm is pelleted and has undergone unique manufacturing methods which ensure that the pellets dissolve instantly upon arriving in the stomach. Pellets mix easily into the feed and are easy to handle and mess free.
Gastro-Kalm is recommended for all horses showing the symptoms of digestive upset, and for those at risk of ulcers. This includes horses with poor performance, irritable behaviour, lack of condition, loose droppings, excessive gas, discomfort when girthed and laminitis. (Please look under Good Health & Skin).
