Gastro™ – Step 1 is a gut supplement for horses showing signs of gastric issues & discomfort. It’s used as the first step in our gastric programme, helping stabilise the gut microbiome & restore intestinal barrier function.
- Supports a balanced microbiome for healthy digestion
- Includes Inulin helping feed beneficial hindgut bacteria
- High in protein, amino acids & vitamins
Nutritional Info
Packed with key ingredients that support gut health including Inulin, Papaya, Aloe Vera and L-Arginine, which utilises Nitric Oxide pathway precursors, helping to deliver nutrients to the entire gastric system, supporting gut mobility.
Ideal for horses showing symptoms of gastric discomfort, changes in behaviour, grass, routine and turnout and horses that travel and compete.
Can be used for part of a short or long-term feeding plan or used as and when required during times of stress or changes.
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 metabolisation, 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.
Aloe Vera
Helps soothe the digestive tract and is beneficial for protecting the sensitive lining of the stomach.
L-Arginine
An amino acid, converted in the body into Nitric Oxide(NO), helping to deliver nutrients to the entire gastric system.
Beta-Alanine
Beta-Alanine works in the body by producing ‘Carnosine’. This supports the horse’s ability to absorb acidification.
3-Step Gastric Programme
Step 1 – Gastro™ is the most concentrated formula in the gastric range, helping preserve & 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.

Brilliant results
My super event currently at intermediate level is always very grumpy / defensive attitude in the stable since he was 2yrs (now 10yr). Always willing while being ridden and worked. I’ve tried many products on the shelf and this product is simple the best. Ran out in the summer and you could definitely tell within a few weeks his negative behaviour in the stable came back. Always available in the feed room now. Thank you xx

Equine exceedgastro
My horse is definitely more relaxed. He is 22 years old and having ulcers for a lot of his life has made him over sensitive especially tacking up. I can now girth him up most of the time without a reaction

I had heard a lot of good things about equine exceed and I am so glad I got in touch. Deborah was fantastic and knowledgeable, she took the time to listen and answered all ten questions I had. My mare has been using step 1 for about a month now, I have seen a massive improvement with her. She seems much happier in herself not girthy anymore and actually really enjoys the taste which I was worried about it. Highly recommend!
