Why Dr Andrea Boland trusts PROTEK GI

Equine Veterinarian Dr Andrea Boland BSc.BVMS talks to us about how veterinary knowledge of medication meets supplements and making the transition from medication to management in horses with EGUS and EGGD.

As a veterinarian, Dr Boland is really happy and confident to be able to recommend PROTEK GI to her clients, both on the racetrack and in the field saying, “It’s just been unbelievable the turnaround!”

PROTEK GI is Kelato’s ultimate supplement, targeting both foregut and hindgut health, and is designed for horses with EGUS, horses recovering from EGUS, or those under a significant amount of stress.

If your horse is prone to developing gastric ulcers, we recommend using PROTEK GI during stressful periods.

EGUS is an over-arching umbrella term that simply describes ulcerative, erosive, and hyperkeratotic diseases of the stomach. The problem is that EGUS is often inappropriately or incompletely used. We now know there are very distinct differences between diseases in the upper squamous mucosa versus the lower glandular mucosa of the horse’s stomach. So, EGUS is now divided into Equine Squamous Gastric Disease (ESGD) and Equine Glandular Gastric Disease EGGD).

Implementing appropriate management practices is an integral part of improving stomach health and reducing the risk of ESGD and EGGD. Nutraceutical strategies play a role in this and leading equine veterinarians recommend PROTEK GI as part of your tool kit for managing ESGD and EGGD following treatment.

Research has shown that the combination of ingredients in PROTEK GI had a significant protective effect in horses under high ulcerogenic conditions. The results were very encouraging and PROTEK GI provides horse owners with options following the use of veterinary medications.

The Benefits:

A healthy digestive system means a healthier horse. PROTEK GI will help bring your horse back to its full potential by:

  • Optimizing total gut function
  • Protecting total gut health
  • Improving feed conversion efficiency

PROTEK GI helps your horse’s gut better cope with the stressors of exercise, stabling, traveling, and competition. You will start to notice positive changes in your horse such as a better attitude, ability to perform, improved body condition, a glossier coat, increased appetite, and manure consistency.
