NAF GastrAid is a feed supplement that promotes function and strength along the entire gastrointestinal tract to optimize overall gastrointestinal health, digestion, and general well-being. The supplement is recommended for horses with stress-related digestive problems and is, for example, ideal to give during long journeys or when moving to a new stable.
GastriAid begins its work by providing support for saliva before releasing natural buffers to balance pH. By supporting the strength and elasticity of the small intestine wall, the product provides direct benefits for nutrient absorption. Additionally, thanks to live yeast cultures and powerful biotics, it also provides support and nourishment to the intestinal flora and large intestine, supporting the horse's important fermentation of fiber.
The supplement now also contains Five Star BioG, a unique combination of probiotic live yeast culture, prebiotics FOS and MOS, and new postbiotic metabolites developed by NAF's nutrition experts. It works in conjunction with the compositions in GastriAid to support the horse's microbiome throughout the gastrointestinal tract for optimized overall gastrointestinal health, efficient digestion, and general well-being.
