This synergistic blend of herbs in this formula may be beneficial in soothing, nourishing, and protecting the mucous membranes in the stomach and in the gut lining. Traditional ulcer medications suppress stomach acid which helps to alleviate symptoms but does nothing to fix the problem. Suppression of stomach acid can lead to other gastrointestinal issues. Stomach acid helps to break down food and prevents parasites and bacteria from being able to reach the small intestine by killing them. This formula is rich in mucopolysaccharides which creates a protective slime barrier coating the stomach and small intestines protecting them from the damaging effects of stomach acid. Additionally, the herbs in this formula may reduce inflammation and help to rebuild the tissues in the stomach and small intestine so they can function optimally.
Often the cause of ulcers in horses is stress such as moving to a new location, lots of trailer travel, not eating often enough, competition etc. It is important to address the cause of the stress in addition to repairing the damaged tissues so the ulcer does not continually return.
