Nutritional Info
Milled Chia Seed
Milled chia seeds support gut wall integrity, gut motility and support a healthy microbiome. They contain soluble fibre, which forms a gel-like substance when mixed with digestive fluids. It helps slow down digestion, allowing better nutrient absorption and the fibre in chia acts as a prebiotic, assisting with the fermentation of forage. Chia Seeds also contain flavonoids and phenolic acids that help reduce oxidative stress. The 3:1 ratio of Omega 3 to 6 in Chia Seeds is close to the essential fatty acid ratio naturally present in pasture grasses.
Flax
Flaxseed is rich in soluble fibre, particularly mucilage which forms a gel like coating when mixed with digestive fluids acting as a barrier against stomach acid. Flax is one of the best plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid helping with gastric and intestinal inflammation.
L-Alanine
L-Alanine is a proteinogenic amino acid; meaning that it is a building block for proteins and plays a key role in glucose production which provides energy to gut barrier cells.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vital for collagen synthesis helping keep the gut wall flexible and strong.
Vitamin E (DL-a-Tocopheryl Acetate 700iu)
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, that plays a critical role in protecting the horse from everyday oxidative stress and supports health and protects cell membranes. In addition, it is an essential vitamin (meaning your horse cannot synthesise it and it must be provided in the diet).
Peppermint Leaf Powder
Peppermint encourages fussy horses to eat, and it contains menthol, which can help to soothe the digestive tract, reduce gas, and provide support for horses suffering with digestive issues.
3-Step Gastric Programme
Step 1 – Gastro™ is the most concentrated formula in the gastric range, helping preserve and 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.

Excellent product
My mare was very scared and opinionated in situations and I decided to start her on the Gastro programme and she is now on the maintenance dose and I have a changed horse . From a scared horse to being a nanny for a youngster . We have been to competitions last year and came home with ribbons . I have recommended to friends as they see the difference in my horse .

EXCELLENT PRODUCT TO PROTECT STOMACH FROM ULCERS
I have been using these SFM products for many many years now
I successfully used the whole programme to treat a new horse who suffered with ulcers, and the vets scoping proved it worked!
I have always fed the maintenance to all the horses I have owned, to prevent ulcers from forming
Any type of stress to the horse can cause ulcers, such as diet, travelling, exercise, being stabled away from home, a change in their daily routine,
a loss of a stable companion etc
I can highly recommend this supplement

Wow
A year ago my highland pony was spooky , sensitive , over reactive and unfortunately she got a fright and I fell off and broke my collar bone . I gave her time off aswell as myself and I decided to give her the gastric supplement step one and two and I continued with gastric support and the calmer . I had been reading reviews and I decided to add in sensitive mare aswell as she was very distracted when in season and not concentrating . I have never looked back this pony has changed from the overly sensitive restart to now a nanny pony for youngsters and not over reacting to everything in site he have attended shows , hunt rides , pole clinics , may it continue as we are enjoying are time together .

Definitely does the job!
My boy was diagnosed with ulcers over 9 years ago. Hence I’ve been using SFM Pro with Extra Calmer for quite some time, I honestly would never be without it, we’ve never looked back!

A calmer that works
I’ve been using this calmer for a little while now and works great. Takes the edge of a very sharp horse without removing his spark. I’ve tried lots and this is the only one that works

Couldn’t recommend this more

I've tried many but this is the best
This is the product that definitely has the edge on everything else. Over the years Equine Exceed have helped me adapt what I give my horse .Tailoring it to his needs means a lot when it comes to his comfort and performance.
