Equine Science Solutions
Ulcers - GastroPLUS
Product Information:
GastroPLUS™ is a non-prescription, veterinary-strength, all-natural formula, it utilizes the bodies own healing abilities without introducing chemicals or medicines into the body. Most horses eat within hours of getting GastroPLUS, so you don't need to worry about them dropping weight.
This is an amazing product that both heals ulcers and pulls horses out of Colic!
RESEARCH SHOWS: that 90% of all adult horses and 50% of foals under the age of 6 months that have been scoped have shown to have gastric ulcers. Both stress and intense exercise deplete neurotransmitters crucial for the adequate blood flow to the stomach. This decreased blood flow reduces the production of mucus necessary to protect the stomach lining from stomach acid. The result is ulceration of the stomach lining.
Research has shown that stomach ulcers can develop in as little as…24 hours when a horse is under stress!
Equine gastric ulcers cause significant damage before symptoms of abdominal discomfort develop. Decreased blood flow reduces production of mucus that coats the stomach lining, which is needed to protect the stomach from acid. Insufficient production of this protective mucus allows stomach acid to damage the stomach walls, causing ulcers. To effectively minimize equine gastric ulcers, it is essential to replenish depleted substances that are necessary for proper blood flow to the stomach.
Gastric ulcers occur in the majority of horses involved in training or competition.
It is known that Nitric Oxide promotes the body's own healing process of gastric ulcers and helps prevent ulcers from developing. Nitric Oxide is a gaseous molecule produced in the walls of the stomach that relaxes the walls of blood vessels and increases blood flow. It also triggers the body to produce the desired amount of mucus which lines the stomach and intestinal walls. This mucus coats and protects the ulcerated areas so they can heal quickly.
An intensely exercising horse must be able to produce large amounts of Nitric Oxide in order to maintain adequate blood supply to the walls of the stomach.
GastroPLUS for ULCERS: GastroPLUS™ supplies the precursors for the production of the necessary neurotransmitters for increasing blood flow and the mucus required for a healthy stomach.
GastroPLUS for Colic, when you have to show or compete:
“Sunday night, my mare is throwing herself on the ground, pawing, trying to roll, rearing over backwards. No banamine on hand to be found (had some in trailer but it disappeared), I remembered hearing that GP had worked on another horse for colic, and had given it for a mild gas colic before. Vet was at least an hour out, so I gave her a double dose of GP. She was still trying to throw herself to the ground, but not rearing and pawing so hard. 30 minutes or so later, another double dose, no more pawing or rearing, just lots of belly looking and wanting to lay down. Vet calls and will be yet another hour. Gave a third double dose of GP.
By the time the vet arrived, he thought I was crazy to think my mare was colicing. She was calm, quiet, relaxed, heartbeat was slow, respiration rate fine, and she was trying to eat grass. But, vet knows I am not one to call because I like to pay him to come visit, so he decided to do a rectal exam. Yep, sure enough he can feel an impacted cecum. He suggests rushing her for surgery, but since I couldn't come up with the walk-in fee in cash that night, we opted to oil her, give her some banamine and see how she progressed.
She made it through the night, passed a gazillion oats, and we never looked back. I called the vet to tell him she was passing oat filled feces and doing great, and he had been expecting me to call to ask for her to be put down. LOL He still won't say much about the GP except to say that "that stuff probably saved her". Me, I say probably my butt, it saved her."
“I have used regular GastroPLUS for a horse showing colic symptoms. No gut sounds, pawing, trying to go down. It was Thanksgiving weekend and my vet was out of town, so I started dosing every 20 minutes and he was feeling better after an hour, and after 3 hours, he had no symptoms and normal gut sounds. I will always have this product on hand.”

“This product is wonderful! Not only is it drug free, it actually works and costs way less than the drugs that are on the market for Ulcers.”MM.
“Within an hour she was eating well again, and within 2 days you could not tell anything was ever wrong. Her coat is really shinny again too!” JC.
