Co-host Tigger Montague describes the formulation and benefits of BioStar’s Optimum GI:
“Buffering supplements, antacids, and foods like alfalfa help the squamous portion of the stomach by shielding stomach acids. However, they will have minimal effect on the glandular portion of the stomach.
Ingredients that provide mucosal protective support include aloe, papaya, sea buckthorn berries, pectin, lecithin, L-glutamine and polysaccharides. They are beneficial to the glandular portion of the stomach. Oils and healthy fat sources are also supportive to this area of the stomach.
We took the research on equine gastric ulcer syndrome and formulated a supplement that combines important bioavailable minerals and nutrients for health and well-being with specific gastric support. This gastric support formula combines the buffering action of plant sourced calcium from spirulina, and calcium proteinate for the health of the squamous portion of the stomach. Mucosal protective foods support the glandular portion of the stomach which include apple pectin, cabbage, Lion’s mane extract, and sunflower lecithin. A matrix of bioavailable minerals and nutrients ensure whole body health of your horse.”
