Description
GNF is a unique supplement of its kind as it is ideal for horses prone to gastric disorders. GNF is able to keep the intestine in excellent health and fully functional.
Gastric disorders are very worrying signs for those who breed, train or simply own a horse. A disorder that has become increasingly frequent is equine gastric ulcer syndrome.
Racehorses have a high probability of incurring this syndrome: up to 93% of racehorses and up to 60% of other horses. The reasons for the presence of ulcers can be attributed to the following factors:
- Discontinuous power supply
- High concentrate/low forage diet
- Long periods confined to stables
- Stress under exercise
It is not practical to stop training racehorses that have this syndrome and let them graze freely. A correct and continuous diet is essential to ensure that racehorses have a healthy digestive system.
Fructo-isosaccharide are prebiotics that help prepare intestinal bacteria (for example Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus). In fact, they escape the digestive enzymes in the upper part of the intestine, guaranteeing nourishment for the beneficial flora of the intestine itself.
Glutamine is an amino acid with one main function: to nourish the cells found in the stomach and intestines.
Threonine is an essential amino acid. Studies have shown that limiting this nutrient can limit mucus synthesis and reduce intestinal barriers.
Seaweed extract is a derivative of Laminaria Hyperborea, a brown algae that is harvested in the cold waters of the Atlantic. It is rich in amino acids and essential nutrients. This extract, in the presence of Calcium Carbonate, forms a gel that can act as a barrier, minimizing exposure to gastric juices of that portion of the stomach without glands.
Minerals: GNF contains Calcium and Magnesium: two key components in keeping the digestive system healthy.
Instructions for correct use:
- All horses: 50 g twice daily.
- Ponies and foals: 25 g twice a day.
