Equine Gut Soothe

Which horses benefit the most from Equine Gut Soothe?
Horses with any type of inflammatory issues can benefit from the support that EGS provides. Horses that may benefit from this type of support include those with recurrent colic, gastric ulcers, oral disease, equine asthma (COPD), laminitis or any other inflammatory issue. Additionally, horses that need to have antibiotics or NSAIDs (eg. Bute) will benefit from this product.

My horse can be picky about new diet additions. How should I introduce Equine Gut Soothe?
We always recommend starting with ¼ of the recommended dose and slowly working up to the full dose over a 1-2 week period. Because EGS doesn’t contain any fillers, the full dose is very small and often goes unnoticed, even by the pickiest equines!

My horse is suffering from an inflammatory disease. Is Equine Gut Soothe safe for them?
Equine gut soothe is safe for most horses. You should consult with your veterinarian if your horse is taking medications or if you are planning to breed your mare to make sure EGS is safe for them.

My horse recently had antibiotics. When should I start Equine Gut Soothe?
EGS is a perfect addition to the recovery plan if antibiotics need to be administered. When you give antibiotics, this kills the bad bacteria in the gut, but it also kills a lot of good bacteria in the gut too. EGS is a wonderful way to help restore you horse’s gut post-antibiotic treatment by replenishing the microbiome. We recommend starting Equine Gut Soothe once your horse has finished their antibiotic medication.

What is a species-appropriate probiotic?
Species-appropriate probiotics are friendly bacteria that have been isolated from the specific species they are intended for. In the case of our Equine Gut Soothe, we are proud to offer the first equine-isolated strain that is scientifically proven to provide the following benefits specifically to horses:

• The first equine-specific probiotic (lactobacillus equi) backed by science
• Proven tolerance to gastric acid, bile, and digestive enzymes pepsin and pancreatin
• Proven adherence to equine intestinal epithelial cells. Important as this allows colonization and proliferation in situ-
• Proven ability to produce bacteriocins to inhibit pathogens including E. coli, Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, among others
• Proven ability to positively impact the immune system (cell mediated and humoral immunity)

How does Equine Gut Soothe Work?
EGS is a proprietary blend of herbs, nutraceuticals and species-specific pre and probiotics that repair and support the mucosal linings of the gastro-intestinal tract, the respiratory tract, bladder wall, reproductive canal, oral cavity, the pulmonary system and more. These mucosa are the “home” of the precious microbiome and without a healthy mucosa, the microbiome cannot establish correctly. EGS helps to not only repair the mucosal linings but also to replenish the microbiome too, providing countless health benefits (see above).
