ProbioticWise

Description

ProbioticWise supports overall intestinal health and maintains a robust population of hindgut microflora in horses.

Benefits

Maintains a healthy population of beneficial bacteria throughout the gastrointestinal tract
Supports restoration of normal gastrointestinal tract function in horses with diarrhoea
Supports the digestion of starch and sugar in the foregut, which helps to lower the risk of hindgut upset and pH imbalances (acidosis) that can cause colic and laminitis
Supports lowered inflammation levels in the gastrointestinal tract tissues
Supplies nutrients to the gastrointestinal tissues that support the healing of stomach and colonic ulceration
Supplies polyphenols, nucleotides, and polysterols; antioxidants that help maintain healthy intestinal cell membrane function

Recommended For

Horses at risk for digestive upset due to metabolic disease or old age
Those challenged by a new or demanding training schedule
Convalescing after surgery or recovering from illness or injury
Currently or recently treated with NSAIDs and/or antibiotic
Predisposition to grain overload and hindgut acidosis due to a high-grain diet
Susceptible to gastric or colonic ulcers due to lifestyle or past history
Acute or chronic diarrhea
Colic
Foal scours
Laminitis
Colonic or gastric ulcers
Digestive imbalances due to lifestyle changes or travel
Digestive distress due to illness or injury

Ingredients

Saccharomyces boulardii

S. boulardii is a viable probiotic because it is able to withstand gastrointestinal transit and is not denatured by an acidic gastric environment. Many direct-fed microbials are denatured long before they get to the hindgut. S. boulardii supports improved functionality of mucosal lining and secretes factors that support the repair of epithelium. S. boulardii supports the stimulation of mucosal enzymes that increase starch digestibility.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

S. cerevisiae is an important prebiotic that supports the growth and health of beneficial microflora populations. It supports optimal nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency.

Fermentation metabolites, including MOS and beta-glucans.

The fermentation metabolites found in ProbioticWise are separated from the yeast cell wall utilizing a proprietary blend of enzymes in an all-natural process. This process yields very high quality metabolites. The MOS and beta-glucans present have immunomodulatory properties that balance and stimulate the immune system.
