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.

FANTASTIC PRODUCTS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Sophie and Raj flew around the Wheatlands Hunter Trial in torrential rain recently and came home with a 2nd place! Raj was very poorly with ulcers last year and has been through a very long rehab. Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 really worked for him. We have now stepped down to the Gastro Extend and just step back up to Gastro Step 1 if we ever need it. Fantastic products and highly recommended.

FINALLY A PRODUCT THAT WORKS!
I’ve had my pony on Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 for only 3 days now and the difference is amazing!😍 I rang the lovely Debbie last week saying how I just couldn’t figure out why my horse just wasn’t being himself, I thought maybe he’d just enjoyed the long grass a bit too much! After explaining this to Debbie she told me about Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 and how it helps the complete stomach function and this could be why he isn’t wanting to work as he does usually. So she told me in depth about the product and how it works and she very kindly sent me a FREE trial pack in the post and WOW after just 3 days I saw a massive difference! I could do his girth up by more holes, I could see the size of his belly just decreasing with each day! He felt like he finally wanted to work again and is so much happier in himself, I honestly have never used a product where I can see the difference in such a sort space of time, this product really does work! I would highly recommended and the team are so lovely and helpful.

WOW!
I can not express how amazed and thankful I am at the difference Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 and Equine Exceed Gastro Extend has made to my boy. Strider has always been the fussiest eater you could find, you name it I have tried it! Strider would go most day only eating half a feed, if any other days, always a little bit of a stress head and after 13years I just given up, syringed every supplement or meds in to him – at 17”3 and a very cheeky old man I can tell you it’s never been easy.. I had him scope thinking for sure we’d find something, but nope cleanest stomach the vet had seen. Strider at 18yrs was looking ok but a little tucked up at times, still on and off food a friend recommended talking to Debbie to see if she thought Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 would help. We started and syringed it in every morning, then moved to the EE Gastro Extend. After 3 weeks the change was amazing eating all his dinner and most amazingly his breakfast. After 6 weeks I had an almost greedy horse I am not kidding, a horse that previously would turn up his nose at food was now stretching to reach whatever he could! Debbie then said just put it in his food now, I laughed and said no way he’ll know and stop eating…..nope I was wrong eat it all no question at all! Meds in feed now no issue and the best part at now nearly 20 he looks great, feels great with loads of energy, one very happy horsey and a very relieved owner. Thank you so much Debbie and the team.

Since 2014 I have used this product on 3 different horses. All I can say are that the results are astonishing.

What an amazing product!
This product has made such a difference to my mare! Since I’ve had her she’s always has ‘wet poops’ and a dirty bum… now she’s like a normal horse! Clean bum & perfect droppings.
It’s not cheap but it works!

Wouldn’t use anything else!
I tried this product after using a wide range of other gastric health products. This was the only supplement that really helped my horse. He gained weight and seemed much happier within myself after only a couple of weeks. Absolutely love this supplement
