SAMPLE Digestion Care (2dl)

A nutritious and tasty feed mix that supports gut health and well-being.

Ingredients: elderflower, blueberry leaf, liquorice root, rose hip, rhizome root and cinnamon.

The fortifying lichen contains pectin, which feeds intestinal bacteria. Pectin increases the buffering capacity of stomach acids and raises the pH of the stomach contents to a more alkaline level.

Blueberry leaves are rich in inulin, which is important for the body. Prebiotic inulin is a dietary fibre that maintains the diversity of the gut microbiota and is therefore good for the whole body.

Liquorice root is an antibacterial and palatable plant that neutralises and balances. The gut-friendly constituents of liquorice root support normal digestion and are helpful in various abnormalities of the stomach. The delicious and healthy liquorice root makes the mixture very tasty. Liquorice root is rich in triterpene saponins and flavonoids, biotin, folic acids and b-group vitamins.

Rosehip is a nutrient-rich berry that is good for the gut. Its pectin* protects the stressed digestive system and lubricates the intestinal mucosa. Sorpitol, on the other hand, balances stomach acidity and supports healthy saliva secretion.

The root of the liquorice root, or medicated mucilage, contains 15-30% mucilage, which lubricates and protects the intestinal mucosa. This intestinal lubricating property allows food to pass through the intestines as normally as possible.

Cinnamon soothes and balances normal bowel function. The lovely smell of cinnamon makes the mixture particularly attractive to the horse.
