Gut Nutrition Formula What's in it? Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are prebiotics that help to prime the existing, beneficial, gut bacteria (eg. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus). They escape enzymatic digestion in the upper gastro-intestinal tract to provide a food source for indigenous beneficial flora. Glutamine is an amino acid, one of its key functions is to nourish cells that line the stomach and intestines. Threonine is an ‘essential’ amino acid.  Studies have shown that restriction of this nutrient may limit intestinal mucin synthesis and reduce gut barrier function. Seaweed Extract is derived from Laminaria Hyperborea, a brown seaweed harvested in cold Atlantic waters. It is rich in amino acids and essential nutrients. In the presence of Calcium Carbonate it forms a gel which can act as a physical barrier, minimising the exposure of the nonglandular portion of the stomach to its acidic contents. Minerals: GNF contains both Calcium and Magnesium two components which are key nutrients in maintaining a healthy digestive system. Feeding Instructions: GNF should be added to the normal feed ration. All Horses: Feed 50g twice daily. Ponies and Foals: Feed 25g twice daily. Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.
