As the first step of in our gut support programme, Step 1 – Gastro™ is formulated to help nutritionally support the restoration of a healthy gut biome and intestinal barrier function. A healthy gut biome supports efficient digestion & nutrient intake, while supporting immune cells made in the gut.
Horses with additional gastric challenges may benefit from additional amino acid support as part of a nutritional approach to digestive health. This comprehensive blend helps provide essential building blocks for intestinal cells, protein synthesis and the natural protective mucus and gut barrier.
Nutritional Info
Amino Acids
L-Threonine
An essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and mucin production. Mucin forms part of the protective mucus layer lining the gastrointestinal tract.
L-Arginine
Involved in Nitric Oxide (NO) production for circulatory management and forms part of the nutritional support for the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract.
Beta-Alanine
Beta-Alanine works in the body by producing ‘Carnosine’. This can help support the horse’s ability to absorb acidification.

Very effective

Incredible results!!!!!
My horse Larry was 3 weeks away from being put to sleep – he was head shaking, riddled with ulcers that wouldn’t clear up and having mild colic episodes. Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 was recommended to me by a fantastic equine chiropractor called Alvaro, he helped Larry’s pain, Exceed healed his tummy and within 2 weeks Larry was a different horse entirely! Now 6 weeks on, we have been given the all clear by our vet – no signs of any ulcers or tummy issues at all!
Thank you SO much Equine Exceed – amazing, caring service AND an incredible product!

Clams a stressed gut
Our emotionally fragile, horse shy, showjumper often finds busy warm ups creates a sore gut.. A week of step 1 and he is calmer and takes life a little to more easily.

Helped my mare
My mare has been a bit girthy for a while. Since taking this she’s improved. I’d say it took a week or so but she’s much happier.

Does what it says on the bag …

My horse looks fabulous
I have been feeding Gastro step 1 since I bought my mare Poppy last September to help her settle onto our yard . It seemed sensible to carry on feeding it as she travels to lessons and competitions regularly. Poppy looks fabulous and alongside the Calmer I believe both help keep her in super condition.

Ex Racehorse feeling the Benefits
After only a couple of weeks on Step 1, our recently retired racehorse has an improved digestion and attitude to food. His skin is absolutely glowing too. Can’t wait to see the difference in a few months.
