Gastrix is a complementary supplement for horses, produced using a specific bacterial fermentation process. It contrasts with other products that aim to maintain gastric health in that it contains no antacids or anti-spasmodics. The active ingredient in Gastrix was originally developed to help maintain gastric health in humans suffering from gastric discomfort with gastro intestinal illness including gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Research has yielded positive results. After 30 days' supplementation with Gastrix, horses with clinical indicators of gastric ulceration showed substantial improvements in appetite, body condition or loose droppings.
as a prevention for EGUS, Gastrix can be administered at 50gr per horse per day during 2 weeks per month or at 25gr per horse per day continiously.
