Equine 74 Gastric is a supplement for horses and ponies that absorbs excess gastric acid caused by feeding and stress, thus buffering the pH value in the horse's stomach.
Sports and leisure riders, amateurs, world champions and Olympic champions feed it to their horses daily.Numerous veterinarians around the world recommend feeding the supplement.
Equine 74 Gastric does not contain any ingredient known to contravene the Jockey Club, FEI or BSJA rules.
Equine 74 Gastric works like a sponge to absorb excess gastric acid.
The red algae – the natural basis of Equine 74 Gastric – contain 74 different minerals, including large amounts of calcium and magnesium, which have high bioavailability. Equine 74 Gastric’s high calcium and magnesium content and its unique sponge properties provide up to 2.5 times more acid buffer capacity than equine gastric acid supplements obtained from limestone.
This means that Equine 74 Gastric can buffer more gastric acid than conventional products containing calcium. Equine 74 Gastric absorbs excess gastric acid like a sponge to ensure a more balanced pH level in the horse's stomach. The excess acid can no longer attack the stomach lining, thus preventing the development of gastric ulcers.
The feed then passes into the intestine with no hyperacidity. This creates more equilibrium amongst intestinal flora, allowing the intestinal microbes to work better, usually leading to an improved absorption of feed.
From the coast of Iceland, processed in Ireland and Germany, 100% natural.
Equine 74 Gastric is obtained from a special calcareous Marine Algae, Lithothamnion Glaciale (Maerl). This is harvested from the seabed off the coast of Iceland and then subject to gentle drying processes in Ireland.
The raw material is then processed and packaged in various production steps in Germany – thus the label Made in Germany.
Feed 50 grammes daily to combat hyperacidity of stomach contents.
Equine 74 Gastric is available in both powder and pellet form. Depending on the horse and preference, it can be fed straight from your hand or added to the horse’s normal feed.
Both the powder and the pellets can be mixed with moist feed such as mash or “Schlonzi” with no lost benefits. When adding powder, the feed should be fed within 10-15 minutes due to the yeast added here.
We recommend to feed Equine 74 Gastric twice a day, each time half the recommended daily amount. If this is not possible, feed once daily.

Equine 74 is not a cure for gastric ulcers in horses. We suggest consulting your veterinarian if you suspect ulcers in your horse.
Yes, Equine 74 Gastric is free of any banned substances prohibited during recognized shows (FEI).
If you suspect your horse has ulcers, call your veterinarian. They will be able to properly diagnose the problem and determine if your horse requires treatment with a prescription medication such as Omeprazole. Equine 74 Gastric IS NOT a treatment for ulcers. Once your horse has been successfully treated for ulcers, use the Equine 74 Gastric supplement to help maintain healthy acid levels in your horse’s stomach.
Omeprazole inhibits the proton pump that produces stomach acid. Equine 74 neutralizes stomach acid, acting as a natural buffer. Instead of halting the production of stomach acid, Equine 74 buffers the excess acid caused by stress related lifestyle factors many horses face - making it an excellent way to maintain healthy gastric acid levels.
Yes. If your horse is recovering from ulcers, we recommend starting Equine 74 during the last 1 to 2 weeks of treatment with Omeprazole. Continue using Equine 74 Gastric on a daily base for 6 weeks to 4 months. Or continue using Equine 74 as a longer term solution for maintaining healthy acid levels in the stomach.
