GASTRO - ARDMORE EQUINE

Product Information
Gastro"

“GASTRO” is a totally new concept in the management of equine stress and similarly related problems that may be instrumental in the development of various types of ulcers.

The premise behind the development of the formulation was that the resulting NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT should assist in all relevant problem areas by providing the correct range of nutrients, as currently defined by science. Hence, in the case of the digestive system, the product DOES NOT MODIFY OR TURN OFF THE ACID PUMP.

Normal equine defence, repair and renewal systems are vitally important for the well-being of all horses performing in the professional “arena”. The extreme environments in which mares, foals and race-horses sometimes operate in, can place extra burdens on these vital natural systems leading to a number of problems. “GASTRO” provides the levels of specific nutrition to help maintain “normality” under those conditions.

The Science Behind "Gastro"

An insight into the science behind "Gastro"-:

• Most foods and phyto-nutrients, on digestion, produce varying degrees of either acid or alkaline breakdown products in the body. In the "GASTRO" nutritional formulation components are included to aid the promotion and maintenance of mildly alkaline environment. Many cereals that often form a large percentage of the equine diet, with their compound sugars produce acid molecules on digestion. If the horse’s diet is too acid then the body has to neutralise this excess acidity and in certain circumstances, by effectively taking alkalinity from its own cells. Blood pH should be around 7.4 and any reduction in this value, or if that of the cells falls to a value of 7.0, they are classed as diseased and fail to function correctly or at reduce inefficiency. Transportation of essential nutrients is impaired and the horse’s metabolism has moved from "normal", often with the adverse effects. Gastric ulceration is frequently present when the integrity of the stomach’s mucosal layer is compromised. This can have a number of causes including stress factors and excess acidity.

   

• Research has shown that the provision of the phyto-nutrients and other nutritional components in "GASTRO" can be beneficially metabolised in the digestive tract, liver and kidneys, these organs being crucial in eliminating the build up of toxins that occur as part of normal metabolic processes in performance horses. Their efficient elimination is one of a number of ways that the nutrients in "GASTRO" are used to feed and support the "normalisation & harmonisation" of the complex bio-chemical process at work in the horse’s body.

   

• Maintaining digestive integrity and the cohesion of the mucosal layer in the stomach is of paramount importance in the prevention of Gastric ulcers. Research in the USA has shown that certain phyto-chemicals may have the ability to stimulate various categories of RNA to yield a quantitative increase in the RNA temperature fraction leading to support for the surface mucosal mucin. “GASTRO”, with its scientifically assemblage of phyto-nutrients contains a number of these components that may be of assistance in this task?

   

• Normal metabolic functioning demands that biological systems evolved over eons are only disturbed or disrupted to a minimal extent. Hence, “GASTRO” contains no components such as hydroxides that neutralise or sequest the functioning of the stomach’s acid pump, a primary component in efficient equine digestion.

Any detraction from an optimally functioning metabolic system could lead to various debilitating conditions e.g. Ulcers, which can result in a reduction in performance on the race-track.

“GASTRO”, being totally natural in the composition of its “active” agents, is scientifically formulated to work synergistically with metabolic processes.

The ease and accuracy of using “GASTRO” is helped by the employment of a handy syringe.
