What to Expect When Using Total GI Horse Supplements

What are total GI supplements?
Total GI supplements are daily formulas that support a horse’s entire gastrointestinal tract. These supplements include ingredients for both stomach and hindgut health, and may include magnesium and calcium for gastric support, along with probiotics and enzymes as a digestive aid.
 
Why it’s a smart choice
Your horse’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a delicate and complex system made up of a variety of structures such as the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The GI tract has a number of critical roles to play including breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and housing a large portion of your horse’s immune system. That’s why it’s smart to provide support for the entire digestive tract, which is a crucial part of powering your horse’s overall health and well-being.
 
What to expect with total GI supplements
While you obviously can’t see your horse’s GI system working normally from the outside, you can rest assured that the ingredients in a total GI supplement are supporting your horse on the inside. Because the GI tract is a complex system, remember that these types of supplements may take time, generally 6-8 weeks. After your horse has been on the supplement, look for signs that may be associated with stomach health such as a relaxed demeanor during mealtimes and a willing attitude during work. For hindgut health, your horse should start passing normal, healthy manure.
