Product Overview
Which horses benefit from comprehensive GI tract support?
Your horse’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract has a number of critical roles to play, including breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and housing a large portion of your horse’s immune system. Unfortunately, many common elements of modern horsekeeping like training, travel, large grain meals and increased stall time can be detrimental to GI health. While supporting the GI tract is a smart choice for any horse, it's especially important for those dealing with these stressors, or for those with a history of GI issues.

Research
A research study has shown through the use of the Diamond V in vitro intestinal activity modifier model (IAMM), it was demonstrated that SmartDigest Ultra, SmartDigest Ultra Pellets, and SmartGI Ultra Pellets - which all contain DVEquine postbiotic-produce higher levels of VFAs (volatile fatty acids) than an alfalfa/grass hay mix alone and may support the normal, healthy structure and function of the hindgut of the horse.
VFAs are vital for providing energy, supporting gut health, enhancing nutrient digestion, regulating feeding behavior,aiding in weight management, and adding support against developing metabolic disorders in horses.
The following ingredients in this formula have research associated with them:

Not worth the money.
I put all of my horses on this. Several months later 2 horses developed ulcers. One went on to colic and was hospitalised. Because there was no surgery colic care would not cover. The entire purpose of putting them on this was to help prevent this from happening. To have it happen to 2! Save your money!

The Perfect Supplement for Total GI Tract Support!
SmartGI Ultra Pellets are always my go-to for comprehensive GI tract support. My current horse, a Hungarian Warmblood, has a history of stomach issues and he's in regular training with occasional travel which I know can add to GI stress. My veterinarian and I are both very happy with how he’s been doing since I added SmartGI Ultra Pellets to his supplement program! I love that the gastric support is backed by research that shows it helps to maintain stomach health, and that the hindgut support makes him eligible to enroll in ColiCare. I’m so pleased with how comfortable and happy he has seemed while on this product. When I first got him, he was a bit of a difficult keeper and I struggled to keep weight on him over the winter. Having consistent stomach and hindgut support onboard has not only helped him to maintain his digestive health but has also helped him to utilize all of the great nutrients he’s getting in his diet. I’m so happy with how he maintained his weight throughout this last winter. Not to mention, SmartGI Ultra comes in a tasty pellet that he loves so much he'll eat it with or without grain!

Gave me back my horse
This product is a relationship saver. My 5 year old had developed some pretty nasty behaviors since coming back from a leg abscess over the winter and I was very frustrated with him. He'd be crabby, anxious and have tantrums every other ride. Neither of us were having any fun. Finally a lightbulb went off and I tried ulcer guard- immediate difference. After a few weeks of treatment I added this supplement to his diet after seeing it was shown to have kept ulcers from recurring after treatment. He's continued to be an angel and we're both having fun again. SO GLAD I tried another way of addressing his behavioral issues!!! Also very happy to have the colic coverage.

Miracle Product
I have a former stallion that is always a little hot but he was getting out of control. He was back sore, rearing, and grinding his teeth. I had him checked for ulcers and immediately turned to smartpak for gut support.. He is now happy healthy. His coat is better his overall health and demeanor is better. Thank you Smartpak for making my horse rideable again and ColiCare!!

Did not help
My horse was treated for ulcers for 30 days and I bought this to prevent future episodes. He has been on this product for approximately a month and still not gaining weight and showing ulcer behavior. He doesn’t sta least eat it which isn’t more than I can’t say about the weight gain product.

So disappointed in this supplement!
I have had my horse on SmartGIUltra for years and loved the added benefit of the insurance for colic but it doesn't prevent ulcers at all. My horse has pasture access every day all afternoon, I feed no grain and he is not a show horse or ridden hard at all and access of as much hay as he wants when in his stall with large run. I can't understand why he now has ulcers again. The amounts of lecithin, pectin and slippery elm etc are just not nearly enough for preventing ulcers. I am going to give lecithin in addition but what a waste of my money just to have the colicare. I hope he never colics. I still recommend it for other reasons but not ulcers obviously!

Awesome and Works!
My horse would have minor colic episodes (banamine would cure it), we think from ulcers in the hind gut. He was on omeprazole because it was show season and he gets ulcers easily. After being on Smart GI he hasn't had any colic episodes!

Awesome product
I purchased this for my 3 y/o OTTB who started showing some mild ulcer symptoms. Per his chiropractor he was mildly reactive over his ulcer points so I figured I’d try this before moving on to scoping and ulcerguard. He was on it for one month before she came back to see him again and she was amazed with the difference in him. Before I even told her what I had done differently she commented on how different his eye looked.....softer, peaceful. He was noticeably less tense and only needed a slight adjustment to his SI joint.....neck and back were supple and without issue!
I 100% feel this has made a big difference! Will be continuing indefinitely.....and the ColiCare program is an awesome perk!

Mare is looking great!
Our mare was found to have horrible ulcers. After her treatment on gastogaurd and other items I was looking for something to help keep healing on track and help prevent further outbreaks.
This seems to be doing those things.

2 happy horses
This is only my second order of the SmartGi Ultra, but I noticed a very marked improvement in both horses. The one horse was a huge difference and for the first time in a long time she isn't cinchy and she is much less gasy as well. Thank you to SmartPak for this great product.

Did not work!
After treating my horse with Gastrogard I chose to use this as a preventative. I started it while I was weaning my horse off the GG. It did not work, my horses ulcer behavior came right back after we were off GG. I needed something to start working immediately not 2 months later. So if you are in a situation similar to mine I would NOT recommend this product. The price was WAY too high for a product that was not working in a timely manner.
I gave this 3 stars because of how AMAZING Smart Paks customer service was. They immediately/no questions asked offered me a refund or store credit. I chose a credit and used it to buy KER Ritetrac which is working amazingly.

Great combination of ingredients
I no longer give aloe vera separately or alfalfa because this product has aloe vera and the Calcium I wanted in the alfalfa. Yay!

SmartGI Ultra Pellets
Started our OTTB Mare on this about a month ago to assist with her ulcer treatment. She's healed and doing great! Time will tell if it works to alleviate any future episodes.

Great Product
Since putting my 10 year old show mare on this product, everyone has noticed a difference in her, especially at the shows. She eats good at the show now and acts peppier. She loves the taste, and she is a picky eater!

Peace of Mind!
Started my guy on SmartGI Ultra shortly after purchasing him. Literally everything in his life was going to change which concerned me. I started him on SmartGI Ultra and enrolled him in colicare. I felt really good knowing I was giving him the best and doing the best I could to keep him healthy. I also had the security of colicare in the event the uncontrollable happened. I commend the SmartGI for aiding me in his transition.

Shiny coat!!
I put my 18 year old Reiner on this for the probiotic absorption benefits. His coat has never looked better! He shines so much he looks wet! Quality ingredients from a quality company. Hopefully will this help him continue to digest the nutrients that will keep him feeling great for many more years to come!
