As Needed support
My mare can be a bit sensitive, especially when traveling to shows and during really hot weather. I give this to her as needed to help support her GI tract and have been very happy with it. She typically gets loose stool the first few days that we are at a show, and that doesn't happen when we use this paste. I also used this recently when she was on bute for an eye injury to proactively support her stomach and hindgut lining during that time. This is a product I always have 2 or 3 tubes of on hand for times when her stomach and/or hindgut might be at risk for upset, like traveling, hay changes, antibiotic/NSAID use, competition, etc.

Game Changer!
As a Ranch Rider, GI upset is a big concern, and I’ve found that Gastro-Plex paste has been a huge part of my horse, Lucky’s, success. I am extremely pleased with this product! I was referred to this product by a friend whose horse needed GI support. After having Lucky on Gastro-Plex™ Paste for just 2 weeks, WOW what a difference! He seems much more himself when groomed and tacked up. I am going to always keep Gastro-plex on hand! Listen to your horse and evaluate if you are questioning any GI health concerns. Horses do not necessarily have gut issues because they are nervous, they're often nervous because they have gut issues. Gastro-Plex™ Paste has great ingredients to help soothe gastric tissue and I always keep it on hand. Whenever I am questioning any added stress, before and after showing in Lucky’s life, he gets Gastro-Plex paste. It’s a bonus that Lucky loves the taste and will eat it right out of the tube!

Protected sick colt's gut
This product was recommended by our vet to aid in our young rescue colt while he received very specific medicines which could be hard on his digestive system - already at risk this helped sooth and allow for him to complete treatment without side effects of diarrhea and gut upset which is a normal side effect from medications. He did not and we feel it was in part to the helpfulness of this product.
