SFM PRO™ is a maintenance gut supplement helping provide the digestive system with the nutrients it requires to maintain a healthy gut function and can be used as part of our 3-step programme.
Ideal as part of a long-term feeding plan for continued gut health and for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.
Low in Sugar (2.02%) and Starch (2.2%) and high in Fibre, the key ingredients Milled Chia Seeds, Flax, L-Alanine, Vitamin C & E and Peppermint Leaf contribute to supporting a healthy digestive system.
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.

Really helped my mare
My mare would tense up in ridden work and then explode but the SFM Pro has soothed her and calmed down the worst of her symptoms. She is a much happier horse now.

Really works – amazing product
I started my mare on Gastro Step 1 and then moved to Step 2 and now we are SFM Pro Step 3. This product is amazing.
My mare has always been a bit anxious and had sloppy poos through the winter. I used to have to wash her tail a every couple of weeks. This product is a game changer. She started on step 1 in the autumn and progressed to step 3 which she has now been on for a few months. She is much calmer and her poos are normal consistency. I have not had to wash her tail once. I can highly recommend.

Excellent Product – try it you wont be disappointed
My daughtes pony (Welsh B x Arab) started to show signs of ulcers shortly after buying him and having him with us for a few weeks. We spoke to Equine Exceed over the phone who suggested we try Gastro Step 1 and saw a noticeable difference within a couple of weeks. After speaking again to EE we continued him on Step 1 for a further month during which time he kept on improving and was far more comfortable in his work, the sharpness disappeared and his willingness to work improved with it. We continued with Step 2 and are now on Step 3 with no ulcer or discomfort signs creeping back. SO pleased we gave this a go as gastroscopy wasn’t an option finacially for me but this I can afford. I also give this to our Welsh A who has sloppy poos sometimes and can see a difference in his poos firming up within a few days. This really does work – please please give it a go, you won’t regret it!

Really works
I started feeding SFM pro 4 years ago after trying many different supplements previously. My mare really suffers with tummy problems and since feeding this I have never looked back. She is happy, comfortable and is performing at her best. What I like is you can go up and down the strengths depending on how your horse is feeling. I keep a pot of number 2 ( one strength above) to give her a couple of days before an event just to make sure.

Brilliant and affordable product
My horse, Benicio’s BiBi, has been extremely happy and thrived on this product. She is a dressage horse that is competing very successfully at Medium level both regional and National level and she will be out at Advanced Medium this year with the hope of Advanced and PSG 2023. Try the product from step 1 – 3 and you will not look back I’m sure. Good luck everyone!!!!!
