Many horses could benefit from the support of a gut supplement, but with so many on the market it can be difficult to understand which ingredients are vital for gut health. We take a deeper look at PharmaTRAC Total Digestive Support to understand the key ingredients and how it could benefit your horse.
PharmaTRAC Total Digestive Support is a proven digestive tract supplement, targeting both the fore and hindgut of the horse and helps to maintain an optimal gastric environment. PharmaTRAC can help to support your horse during periods of loose droppings, weight loss, lack of appetite, stressful situations, a change in diet/forage, long periods of travel or box rest, strenuous exercise or as a prebiotic and gut balancer. A palatable powder to be added to feed, PharmaTRAC can be fed as quick fix to support the horse in times of change or high stress, or it can also be fed as part of a daily maintenance programme.
What is in PharmaTRAC and why?
Alfalfa Powder (10800mg)
High in soluble fibre, Alfalfa helps to buffer acidity in the digestive tract. Alfalfa has also been shown to neutralise the low pH conditions in the stomach and prevent the hindgut from dehydrating.
Sodium Bicarbonate (6000mg)
Sodium Bicarbonate helps to regulate and neutralise the stomach acid and can act as a buffer against acid produced by the horse.
Di Sodium Phosphate Anhydrous (3000mg)
Again acting as a buffering agent, Di Sodium Phosphate Anhydrous with its nearly neutral pH level helps to maintain an optimal gastric environment.
Calcium Carbonate Precipitated (3000mg)
Calcium Carbonate, or Limestone Flour, is a mineral which provides additional calcium and helps to balance high Phosphorus diets. It also buffers the horse’s stomach and hind-gut.
Organic Brown Linseed Cake Powder (3000mg)
Flax is a gel-forming fibre which helps regulate the gastric tract and line the stomach and intestinal walls providing a calming effect on the stomach.
Magnesium Phosphate (13.4% mg, 17.2% P) (1500mg)
Magnesium Phosphate is shown to benefit the horse’s wellbeing by calming nerves and therefore mediating a more effective digestive process
1,3 Beta Glucans (min 70% from yeast) (1500mg)
Seen to help relieve symptoms of poor digestion, bloating, gas and discomfort, Beta Glucans moderate the rate of digestion, stimulate the immune system and regulate the release of sugars and contribute therefore to overall equine digestive health.
Inulin (Beneo Orafti® ST) Prebiotic (1200mg)
Inulin is a prebiotic which allows the generation of healthy bacteria in the stomach and promotes neutral pH levels thereby allowing the absorption of certain minerals benefitting also the whole immune system.
Bioperine® 30mg
Supporting digestive absorption, Bioperine® is the active ingredient in black pepper and allows maximum assimilation of nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, selenium and many more, whilst also supporting metabolism and immune system.
Produced exclusively in the UK and batch tested for purity, PharmaTRAC Total Digestive Support contains only the highest-grade active ingredients with zero fillers and supports CleanSport, holding no restriction for competition.
