NutriScience Gastrocare Gel Pack for Horses
Description
NutriScience Gastrocare Gel Pack - Gastric Support for Horses in Work and Transit
NutriScience Gastrocare Gel Pack is a gastro health supplement for horses, supplied as a ready-to-use oral gel. It is formulated to help neutralise gastric acid and to help improve gastric comfort for horses in training and horses being transported.
It is best for competition and performance horses that travel regularly, horses in consistent ridden work, and any horse whose routine, stabling or feeding pattern is changing. Because it comes as a gel rather than a powder, there is nothing to weigh or mix - useful when you are loading early or working out of a lorry.
