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.

Having used step 1 and step 2 after treatment for ulcers my gelding is kept comfortable and happy using step 3. We occasionally go back to step 2 for a few days when we move paddocks as his movements can get a little looser but he is back to normal quickly. Great product, highly recommend this range of products.

Great Product
I have recently moved on to SFM Pro stage 3 having previously used Gastro Stage 1 and Gastro Extend Stage 2. Before using these products my boy was very girthy and was constantly trying to bite when being tacked up. These products have made a huge difference and have eliminated this behaviour. He is now much more focused in his work as well. Would highly recommend.

MAINTAINING SUCCESS
Having used Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 and Equine Exceed Gastro Extend, I now maintain Buddy on SFM. Over the last couple of years, he has continued to be very comfortable, maintains his weight well and performs very well. I have used SFM with joint and calmer which stop his legs swelling overnight and keeps him calm and focused when working. Fantastic products that are competition legal from a great company to deal with.

FABULOUS PRODUCT
Harry has been maintained on the Equine Exceed SFM PRO for a couple of years now and I wouldn’t use anything else. When I bought him as a young horse he had very bad worm damage and has always had a sensitive stomach. I love knowing that it is completely natural and competition legal. I also like the flexibility of being able to give him a short course of the Equine Exceed Gastro Step 1 at stressful times like our recent yard move. Very highly recommend.
