"Three years ago, I bought an Oldenburg dressage horse called Diamond. He was my dream horse, until he began having explosive diarrhea that affected his performance. After extensive veterinary exams, it turned out he had colonic ulcers--an exacerbation of the hind gut that doesn’t allow him to process his food correctly. I worked with the vet using sucralfate and misoprostal, which did help the diarrhea, but it would return as soon as the course of medicine was over. We suffered this malady for 2 1/2 years until I called Tigger at BioStar who had helped me in the past. We tried several things like different diets, including chaffhaye, which only make things worse, and all kinds of hay pellets. Finally we tried cold pressed hemp seed oil and Optimum GI for the gut. Diamond now has normal stools and is training beautifully. Thanks to Tigger and her perseverance, I now have a fabulous FEI dressage horse. Thanks BioStar!" - Katrina Oosting

Key benefits of Optimum GI™:

• Our proteinated macro and micro-minerals are highly bioavailable, so your horse can actually use them.

• Vitamin D2 sourced from mushrooms promotes the absorption of calcium, regulates bone growth and plays a role in immune function.

• Beta-carotene from organic carrots supports healthy skin and mucus membranes.

• Amino Acids from undenatured whey protein for muscle support.

• Pumpkin meal helps support a healthy topline.

• Reed sedge peat includes fulvic and humic acids to assist in mineral absorption and support beneficial colonies of microorganisms in the gut.

• Top quality apple pectin - helps stabilize mucous in the glandular region of the stomach.

• Sunflower lecithin (non GMO) supports membrane barriers of the gastrointestinal mucosa.

• Cabbage provides L-glutamine, which may help boost immune cell activity in the gut.

• Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) provides polysaccharides (with beta-D-glucans) for immune support and may assist in reducing gastric damage.

• Non-structural Carbohydrates: 14.5%
