Frequently Asked Questions
What does NutriScience Gastro Care do?
It is a gastric health supplement that helps to neutralise gastric acid and helps improve gastric comfort for horses in training and in transport.
Which horses is it best for?
It suits horses and ponies in regular work, those travelling to competitions or clinics, and horses that are stabled for longer periods where the feeding routine changes.
How much should I feed?
Feed according to the instructions on the product packaging, measured accurately for your horse's bodyweight and workload. Dosage confusion is a common issue, so use a proper scoop and keep the daily amount consistent.
My horse is fussy - will it eat it?
Mixing the supplement into a damp feed and introducing it gradually over several days usually helps acceptance. Chaff or a small amount of soaked feed can also help mask a new texture.
Can I feed it if I compete?
Always check the current prohibited-substances list for your governing body, such as the FEI or British Dressage, before feeding any supplement, as rules are updated regularly.
Does it replace veterinary treatment?
No. It is a complementary feed, not a medicine. If your horse is losing condition or showing signs of discomfort, speak to your vet.
