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.

Calmer
I cannot recommend this product enough. Star is a real stress head, I would never can chair him in the warmup before showjumping or dressage as I would probably end up sitting on my bottom. After putting him on this product he’s like a different horse he’s absolutely amazing it’s worth every penny

The only Gastric supplement that works on the market!
After being recommended by an owner of a racing yard, I was skeptical about trying Equine exceed gastro step 1. I had spent so much money on other supplements that didn’t work, even after veterinary treatment with grade 3 ulcers, I never saw a change in my mares behaviour. After 2 weeks of feeding gastro step 1, I have started to see difference in my mare, she’s more willing to go forward and less nappy in ridden. It’s the only product I’ve seen a change in my mares behaviour! I will be buying more, highly recommend!

Equine Exceed Gastro step 1
My horse Alfie has become erratic, spooking and not wanting to work. Biting on doing up his girth and being very moody. I was at my wits end and was recommended to try Equine exceed Gastro.. After great advise from Debbie I started Alfie on it. He has been on it a month now and I have noticed a much happier horse. He is happier to work and this week I have established a canter change! He is eating more hay and drinking more water and no more trying to bite when doing up his girth up! I am delighted to have my horse back… I am now going on to Equine Exceed Step 2
Thank you!!

Gastro step 1
My showjump mare has always been tricky but became sticky on the corners and not wanting to go forwards and chipping in strides, we tried step 1 and she started to show slow signs of improvement, then from not going to suddenly jumping doubleclears again, I’m really impressed and will continue with step 2 now with the confidence.

Great product
Only on day 6 of using this product and already seeing a difference in behaviour and stomach shape 🙂

The difference in our pony is amazing! After speaking to my vet & physio, we suspected our pony had ulcers so decided to treat her with this product. She’s gone from a tense nervous pony with outbursts of bucking or bolting to a calm relaxed pony! Fantastic helpful customer service as well.

Early days using this but so far I’ve seen promising results. My horse seems much more comfortable, less anxious and more focused.
