Characteristics and intended use
Gastrocure is indicated for the protection of the gastric mucosa from the negative effects of stress.
The product contains natural fibres rich in mucilages, which form a viscous gel that coats the gastric mucosa and protects it.
Furthermore, thanks to buffer substances integrated into the product, gastric pH is constantly maintained in balance.
Gastrocure is frequently associated with usual pharmacological therapies in cases of EGUS (Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome), and is useful for maintaining gastric integrity in cases of stress.
