Nutritional Info
Inulin
Inulin is used to support a healthy gut by selectively encouraging certain beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium to proliferate in the horse’s hindgut. This, in turn, can improve fibre metabolization, nutrient absorption, and overall digestive health.
Papaya
Papaya, particularly the papain enzyme found within it, is used to support digestion and gastric health. It can help the process of protein breakdown, nutrient absorption, and stimulate salivation, which can benefit horses with digestive issues.
Flax
Flaxseed is rich in soluble fibre, particularly mucilage which forms a gel like coating when mixed with digestive fluids acting as a barrier against stomach acid. Flax is one of the best plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid helping with gastric and intestinal inflammation and restoring health to ulcerated tissue.
Milled Chia Seeds
Milled chia seeds support gut wall integrity, gut motility and supports a healthy microbiome. They contain soluble fibre, which forms a gel-like substance when mixed with digestive fluids. It helps slow down digestion, allowing better nutrient absorption and the fibre in chia acts as a prebiotic and assists with the fermentation of forage. Chia Seeds also contain flavonoids and phenolic acids that help manage oxidative stress. The 3:1 ratio of Omega 3 to 6 in Chia Seeds is close to the essential fatty acid ratio naturally present in pasture grasses.
L-Arginine
An amino acid, converted in the body into Nitric Oxide(NO), helping to deliver nutrients to the entire gastric system.
3-Step Gastric Programme
Step 1 – Gastro™ is the most concentrated formula in the gastric range, helping preserve and restore intestinal barrier function. Ideal for horses showing symptoms of gastric discomfort, changes in behaviour, grass and turnout changes, travelling and competitions.
Step 2 – Gastro Extend™ can be used as a follow on from Gastro™ – Step 1 or used as maintenance if your horse has a sensitive gut or is prone to stress.
Step 3 – SFM PRO™ & SFM PRO – Extra Calmer™ is a daily gut maintenance for your horses gut health. Includes essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, ideal for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.

Happy horse
My ex-racer lives out 24/7 and is a bit sensitive to changes in the grass throughout the year and other changes in weather etc, which were noticeable in the field and when riding. She had been on step 1 for a while and has moved to step 2 which still seems to be keeping her happy a few weeks in.
