PROTEK GI Success: Horse Gut Health & Ulcer Support

It's stories like these that make our day! 🙏
 
"Meet my 9 year old warmblood mare. She started exhibiting behavioural changes when riding and tacking up. After a thorough examination by our vet, we decided to explore the possibility that she might have ulcers. We started on GastroGard to see if there was any change, and she was markedly more comfortable.
 
Her sweet attitude returned and although we knew we had to stay the course with the GastroGard, stepping the dosage down as suggested by our vet, I wanted to explore options to support her gastrointestinal tract beyond just treating the ulcers. I wanted to prevent this from happening again.
 
After researching the seemingly endless supplements I decided to try PROTEK GI. I started feeding it just a little bit twice a day, slowly increasing to a full scoop at each feeding. She is doing great! My lovely mare has returned to her pre-ulcer self and I will continue to feed the PROTEK GI going forward.
 
I always suggest your product, more people need to know about PROTEK GI!
 
Thank you so much!"

Minimize the risk of squamous ulcers returning in the crucial window after stopping omeprazole with PROTEK GI.

What does this mean for your ulcer horse?

We need to NOW focus on MINIMIZING the risk of squamous ulcers returning for the 48 hours after stopping omeprazole.

To do this we need to:

  • Implement a strict R&R (rest and recovery) that does not involve exercise or travel for 48 hours after the last dose of treatment
  • Protect the squamous region of my horse’s stomach
  • Help reduce the acidity of stomach acid 

Quick ways to achieve success!

  1. Forage, forage, and more forage!

Focus on feeding enough fiber and roughage to create a fiber mat in the stomach. This will help keep stomach acid down in the bottom section of the stomach and reduce the amount of acid splashing around in the squamous region of the stomach.

Acid splashing around = higher chance of the ulcers coming back.

Look at feeding long-stem forage (a.k.a. hay) over short-stem forage (a.k.a. chaff or pellets). Why? Long-stem forage means your horse must chew more. Chewing creates saliva, which is a natural way to reduce the acidity of stomach acid.

Handy tip: Alfalfa hay is a great choice because it is one of the best types of hay to help reduce the acidity of stomach acid.

  1. Start feeding PROTEK GI 5 days before your vet has recommended stopping the omeprazole treatment.

PROTEK GI is one of the only gut health supplements that helps coat the stomach lining through its UNIQUE “alkaline slime” ingredients.

The “alkaline slime” ingredients in PROTEK GI help by:

  • Forming a barrier over the stomach wall
  • Buffering stomach pH to help reduce irritation to the stomach lining
  • Strengthening the mucosal lining in the stomach. 

PROTEK GI  comes in the perfect size to use post-treatment. The 11.5lb (5.25kg) size will give you a 21-day supply for a 1102lb (500kg) horse. The perfect size for post-treatment use!

Looking for a long-term supply of PROTEK GI? We have you covered with a 23lb (10.5kg) size.

  1. Don’t forget about the hindgut!

While PROTEK GI is often thought of as ‘the stomach health specialist’, it also offers superior benefits for your horse’s hindgut health.

The additional hindgut benefits of PROTEK GI include a unique Agrimos® prebiotic and Levucell SC® S. cerevisiae SC l-1077 probiotic which work together to help:

  • Maintain the balance of established beneficial hindgut microbiota
  • Maintain a rich and diverse hindgut microbiota
  • Stabilize hindgut pH during times of change known to impact hindgut health
  • Stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria
  • Optimize feed conversion efficiency (great for improving body condition).

Choose PROTEK GI if you want to see improvements in:

  • Attitude
  • Ability to perform
  • Body condition
  • Coat quality
  • Appetite
  • Manure consistency
