Back to Digestion & Gut Health
Protecting your racehorse’s gut health is essential for ensuring that they feel good inside and out. Recent research has discovered a link between the gut and performance. Targeting gut health with the correct ingredient combination has the ability to help enhance athletic performance and enable racehorses to metabolise energy more readily.
Designed to help retain clear areas in the glandular and non-glandular regions of the stomach, Gastro Form is also fortified with targeted hindgut nutrients to provide and support live cultures.
o Support natural anti-inflammatory processes
o Help balance pH levels and offer acid ease
o Address integrity of stomach wall lining
o Support fibre mat of stomach
o Hindgut nourishment
Gastro Form works to deliver a suitable stomach environment capable of minimising the impact of compromised gastric defence mechanisms. Working to support stomach lining, strength and durability, Gastro Form helps to enhance the vital fibre mat to retain acid in the glandular region and supports the non-glandular surface thanks to its combination of gelling agents. Activating strong biotic nourishment for the hindgut, the live culture again provides recolonisation to underpin the vital equine fibre fermentation process.
Gastro Form contains NAF Five Star BioG, a new and unique synergistic complex that brings together the latest in evidence based nutritional solutions. Combining live probiotic yeast, prebiotics MOS and FOS and new postbiotic metabolites, Five Star BioG supports total gut health right along the gastrointestinal tract. Whatever the challenge, Five Star BioG works in synergy within NAF’s targeted functional supplements to support your racehorse’s unique microbiome from fore to hindgut. This complex initially focuses on foregut health, in particular the stomach, before following up on hindgut homeostasis.
Safe to be used in addition to a course of veterinary prescribed treatment, Gastro Form is also the ideal choice for ongoing use following a course of veterinary prescribed treatment.
