Why is Equine Gut Health So Important?

Many horses experience gut function inefficiencies and discomfort because the following cause a rise in acid.

A STABLE, HIGH-FUNCTIONING DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

A horse’s stomach becomes highly acidic between periods of eating and during intensive exercise. Buffering acid protects the gut from damage, reducing the risk of inflammation and painful equine ulcers. Ingested toxins also must be removed to protect the gut lining and strengthen the microbiome and immune function.  

A MORE COMFORTABLE HORSE

With acid buffered and a healthier microbiome, vitamins and minerals absorb more effectively in the horse digestive tract, optimizing feed utilization. You can expect to see the amazing results of healthy digestion both in the demeanor of your equine and its improved physical appearance.

A HAPPIER PARTNERSHIP

Reducing digestive problems and stress and enhancing nutrient absorption encourages a healthier, happier horse! Having a comfortable equine partner improves your relationship, so you can do more of what matters and enjoy doing it together.

DID YOU KNOW?

These important neurotransmitters are produced in the gut:

GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid)
blocks fear, anxiety, and stress signals

Serotonin
mood booster that binds to receptors in the gut for fast-acting response

GUT-BRAIN CONNECTION

HAPPY FLORA, HAPPY AURA

There are 100 million nerve cells along a horse’s GI tract that directly interact with the brain.

Neurotransmitters carry messages between nerve cells.

Balanced and healthy gut flora stimulate and generate production of happy neurotransmitters, including GABA and serotonin.

What are the benefits of

BENTONITE CLAY FOR HORSES?

Bentonite is an age-old healing clay with incredible curative properties. Bentonite forms when volcanic ash weathers and ages in seawater. Its layered honeycomb structure, alkalinity, and negative charge allow it to buffer acid, bind toxins in the horse digestive system, and optimize overall gut function. Redmond bentonite, sourced from an ancient deposit in Utah, USA, is the foundation of Daily Gold. It’s a natural and effective equine digestive supplement that helps your horse’s gut work smarter, not harder.
