UltraCruz® Equine Gastric Support Supplement for Horses

UltraCruz® Equine Gastric Support Supplement for Horses is a pelleted gastrointestinal support supplement designed to help maintain a normal gastric environment. Horses have a delicate digestive system that relies on forage constantly moving through their stomachs. There are various factors that can increase the risk of increased stomach acid including diet, exercise, and stress. The UltraCruz® Equine Gastric Support Supplement for Horses is formulated to contain ingredients to help maintain a normal gastric environment and supply a highly concentrated, comprehensive collection of key probiotics.

Glutamine is an amino acid, which is involved in building and repairing tissue, as well as being a major source of energy for cells in the lining of the gut. During times of stress glutamine levels can diminish rapidly. The addition of this amino acid in the diet it may help in supporting the cells lining the gut and to assist in the stability of mucosal production, a natural defense against stomach acids.

Zinc (Zn) an essential micro-mineral in horses, not only has antioxidant properties but helps in the mucus production in the lining of the G.I. tract.

Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca) work closely together to help maintain normal stomach pH. This supplement also contains a diverse range of proven microbial strains to help ensure that your horse's needs are met: Enterococcus faecium, Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Can you feed the Gastric Support Supplement with the Wellness/Joint Performance Supplement?

Asked by: Nicole
These supplements are okay to use together. We do recommend to always consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist before making significant changes to a horse’s diet or supplement routine.

The instructions say to give half dose to "young horses". What do you consider to be a young horse? I have a 2 year old filly and I am not sure what dose to give her. Thanks.

Asked by: KarmaMom
Hi, thanks for the great question. The dosage is based on weight, so if your filly weighs close to or over 1,000lbs, she can have the whole dose. A young horse would typically be one that weighs well under 1000lbs.

I have a 16 yr old that stays on pasture and normally loves to eat, lately he is no longer eating as he was, seems uncomfortable. Vet found nothing wrong.  Would you suggest .probiotics or advanced gastric support?  

Asked by: Jlmiller56
Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, there are too many unknown variables in this case to make an accurate suggestion. Please consult your veterinarian with our catalog of products, and ask which she or he thinks might help your horse in this instance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 26 year old horse responded great!My 26 year old Quarter Horse Jubal had very runny manure and for 3 years we couldn’t find a product that helped. Our vet checked him and ran tests and could find no cause for his situation. I received a few pacts of the gastric sample when I ordered another product. I decided to try it. Within a few days I noticed a difference in my horse’s stall. He also did not have brown stained legs. this product was the right thing that his body needs. He has been on it for 3 months and he has normal manure! No more cow patties or running water! He thanks you and of course I thank you. I will definitely keep him on this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic ProductMy mare has been on Ultra Cruz Equine Advanced Gastric Support for about 10 months now. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with the results. She has been maintaining a good healthy weight ever since I put her on this product, whereas she use to fluctuate a bit beforehand. What’s even more remarkable is that I only feed this once a day. For the ingredients and price you can’t beat this supplement. I am one super happy customer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Cleared up the runs!I put my mare on this for a couple weeks and it cleared up her stress diarrhea. I will be ordering more to have "just in case supply" . I'm sure the product would work even better if you just add it to their daily meal consistently and possibly long term

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just what he needed!I bought this product on a whim. My gilding who is older has always been a cribber. I always assumed stomach upset. I decided to give this product a try because it was in pellet form and I knew he would get all of it down. I saw a huge difference in a week. It didn’t cure his cribbing but it absolutely slowed him down and he seemed a lot happier all around.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works!I bought this a month ago. Just the trial size because I was very skeptical. Within two weeks I saw complete turnaround In my gelding. I had no clue that he was experiencing such stomach discomfort until putting him on the supplement. Good stuff and great customer service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Try ThisI have had my horse for about 8 months. I was told he was girthy when I brought him. After just a week on this product the girthyness has all but disappeared. He is now more relaxed and is cleaning up all his food. Happy by-product is his stall is neater as well

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High QualityWe have been using many of the Equine Supplements for years. We find them exceptional for the Athlete. My daughter shows regularly and her horse needs to be ready. She says that with Santa Cruz Supplements on board her horse is more ready than she is, every time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Greatt ProductI was uncertain if this product would help my new horse but it did. I bought a horse with digestive problems and after many products I found this one. After 3 days the diarrhea had cleared up using this product and his medication. Highly recommend this product.
