Protexin Gut Sponge 1.5kg

A healthy hind gut is the foundation of your horse’s wellbeing. Gut Sponge is a palatable, peppermint-flavoured nutritional supplement formulated to support hind gut health, encourage normal droppings, and nourish the gut from the inside out — with psyllium husks, high-level bentonite, and linseed.

Key Benefits

• Psyllium husks — high-fibre prebiotic that absorbs water in the gut, coating and protecting the gut lining while promoting normal droppings
• Safe calories from fermentation — psyllium is fermented by the microbiota, providing energy and promoting friendly bacteria
• High-level bentonite — natural binding agent and source of essential minerals to support gut integrity
• Linseed — a nutritious source of omega-3 & 6 fatty acids to support gut health and general wellbeing
• Nourishes gut lining cells — supports the structural health of the digestive tract
• Peppermint flavoured — highly palatable and easy to add to feed
