Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax

Transport situations, tournaments, training in new places and the like can put a lot of stress on your horse's stomach. Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax can help your horse to cope with this stress.

If acute stressful situations are imminent, the horse is given a dose of Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax 10-30 minutes beforehand. The positive effect can be felt within a few minutes and lasts as long as the paste remains in the stomach. This is about 4 hours.

Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax is available in paste form, ready to administer through a handy applicator, directly into the horse's mouth.
We recommend to feed 30 g for one horse (approx. 250-600 kg). Best 10-30 minutes before the event (departure, tournament start, training etc.)

The paste is very tasty with added stevia and vanilla, which the horses enjoyed without exception. Depending on the outside temperature, the paste will be a little thicker or thinner but always easy to handle. We recommend warming the paste briefly in your hands before application on cold days.

Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax forms a protective barrier in the horse's stomach.

Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax has a marine origin. It is extracted from the brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum (Fam. Fucaceae) which grows off the coast of Scotland. Aggressive gastric acid can reach the sensitive stomach lining in the upper, glandless part of the horse's stomach through the peristalsis of the stomach and through the horse's movement. This causes stomach irritation and pain.

Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax blends with the stomach acid to form a gel-like substance, creating a protective barrier that covers the stomach contents like a film and prevents the acid from reaching these sensitive areas.

After about four hours, this protective film dissolves and is excreted directly from the intestine without being absorbed into the blood.

Equine 74 Stomach Calm Relax is suitable for all horses, especially for generally nervous horses and for horses that are prone to stress, have a sensitive stomach or irritated mucous membrane and/or react sensitively to new, unfamiliar or stressful situations.

Such situations can include competitions, trailer rides, changes to the herd, the breaking in of young horses or the weaning of foals.

If a horse is under stress - in nature this usually happens when there is danger - the flight instinct kicks in. In order to make the energy required for flight available, digestion is slowed down, among other things. As a result, the constantly produced stomach acid is not sufficiently buffered and may attack the stomach lining.
