Gastric ulcers are increasingly common in performance and pleasure riding horses, including Dressage, Show-Jumping, Eventing and Showing horses.
Even lightly worked horses may develop gastric irritation or ulcers which cause pain and a change in behaviour.
Gastro-Coat contains sticky, chewy compounds that encourage horses to salivate properly, increasing saliva buffering even when sweet feeds are eaten.
It also forms a natural barrier to help protect the irritated stomach from continued acid burn, which works for up to 4 hours.
Finally, Gastro-Coat helps regenerate acid damaged areas by providing a source of nucleotides vital for the health of the stomach lining.
