Trikem Gastro
Protection for the gastric mucosa
Protection for the horse's sensitive stomach
Gastro is a supplement that works to protect the horse's stomach and its sensitive mucous membranes. Gastro contains the naturally occurring substance in horses, Lecithin, which together with polysaccharides forms a barrier gel in the stomach to effectively protect the mucous membranes against stomach acid. Gastro acts as a stomach balm for horses with or suspected of having stomach ulcers.
Recommended by veterinarians.
Gastro contains the barrier-forming and naturally occurring substance lecithin that protects the sensitive stomach against acidic stomach acid. Like a stomach balm for the sensitive individual!
How does it work?
Lecithin is a natural substance found in the horse's stomach. When lecithin comes into contact with stomach acid, it breaks down into phospholipids. Phospholipids are a group of fats found in the cell membranes of the cells that protect and repair the lining of the horse's stomach.
Stomach acid
Horses have a continuous supply of stomach acid, whether they are eating or not. The stomach acid is strong and can cause damage to the sensitive lining of the stomach if there is not enough feed in the stomach.
No two horses are alike and there are also individuals who tend to suffer from stomach ulcers despite being fed a high-fiber diet and having their feed divided over several meals.
When is Gastro recommended?
Gastro can be given as a daily supplement or for limited periods. Many horses are affected by travel or competition, and it is beneficial to provide the horse with Gastro.
