Multivitamin & Mineral with Gastrointestinal Support


The health of a horse’s gastrointestinal tract is essential for wellbeing and performance, and plays a major role in immune system functions. In fact, many veterinarians consider the gut to be the seat of the immune system. 


Optimum GI provides gastrointestinal support with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, essential fatty acids, and highly digestible protein for whole horse health. 


Optimum GI supports a horse's sensitive mucosa without interfering with normal digestive activity.



"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.

Really calmed my pony down

My daughter's pony started getting cranky and was really forward. We suspected ulcers. I started giving her a concoction that required me to be at the barn every day. I replaced most of that with the Optimum GI. Our trainer commented that Luna is much calmer and moving better. I am also giving her the Circumvate so that could be helping the movement. The one thing optimumGI hasn't seemed to be able to replace is the Papaya juice. She's bitey when I stop the papaya. That's the item I really hoped to be able to eliminate because it needs to be refrigerated and there isn't a fridge at the barn. I'll keep using OptimumGI because it replaces the Empower she was getting along with the dried cabbage and chia.

Difference within a week!!

We started an OTTB we suspected has ulcers on this supplement, and within a week he is no longer grinding his teeth when girthed! He seems to have a happier and more relaxed disposition, too.

Healing Product

Customer service was top notch when needing answers in the selection of this product. The horse receiving it was recovering from Lymes and EPM and do believe his recovery is dependent on healing from the inside out. Optimum GI is a catalyst for that healing.

23 year old with Cushings, gastric upset

Excellent service. I had a consultation and feedback within a day. The product has helped the horse be able to digest her feed without dIs comfort. As her owner, I don’t worry about her as much.
