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.
Biotics
Prebiotics – Apple Pectin & Chicory Inulin
Helps feed beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping support the gut lining and maintain digestive balance
Probiotic – Yea-Sacc®
Yea-Sacc® is a live yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae), that has been extensively researched in equine nutrition and is scientifically proven to support efficient fibre utilisation and a stable hindgut environment.
Postbiotics – Brewers Yeast
An inactive yeast helping to maintain the gut barrier integrity, providing bioactive compounds to support digestive health
Also Includes
Lecithin – Helping maintain the integrity of the gut lining and the stomach’s natural protective barrier
Choline Bitartrate – Working with Lecithin to help support healthy cell membranes and digestive tissue function

Scoops of magic powdee
My young horse was tucked in, lethargic and looking like he was contemplating wind sucking until I used this supplement, what can I say within 2-3 days he looked and behaved so differently it was incredible. This power is worth all the hype, it really does work as well as everyone says.

Amazing so far!
Angelina hasn’t been herself since she was on livery at a yard with very limited turnout. All the signs of ulcers were there and we didn’t want to scope her and stress her even more. She is so much more comfortable now since she’s been on Step 1 and back to her old self. It’s only been three weeks so we’re very hopeful she’s healing fully. Can’t wait to see how she reacts under the saddle at the weekend. Customer Service has been exceptional, I can’t recommend Equine Exceed highly enough. Thank you.

Personal touch…
…the initial phone call I received following my order was a great comfort in reassuring me as to having made the right choice to use their products. Not only that my horse seems to agree!

Just amazing!
Debbie answered all my questions and concerns and the product was sent within 24hrs. I cannot believe the difference in behaviour after just a few days. Thoroughly recommend this product to anyone whose horse could potentially have ulcer issues!

My horse has been much happier under saddle since day 6 of step 1. There is no more bucking when asking to pick up trot or canter so my 11 year old daughter managed her first canter on the beach since we bought her 6 months ago.
Highly recommend

Highly recommend
I have just introduced my new horse onto this to hopefully help her with her new regime and workload. So far so good, she is eating well and is very settled.
