- gutWise™ Nutrient Release Technology - A proprietary blend of prebiotics, probiotics, marine-sourced calcium and NutriVantage® for horses helps maintain total digestive health. These components are delivered in an exclusive extruded form to help support nutrient digestibility and availability.
- Stable Digestive Environment - Probiotics and prebiotics aid in maintaining digestive health and microbial fermentation for sustained nutrient digestibility, absorption and assimilation.
- Gastric Balance - Bioavailable marine-sourced calcium helps support gastric pH and health.
- Optimized Nutrition - NutriVantage® for horses incorporates exclusive components that may help aid in nutrient availability and maintenance of a healthy gut environment for immune support.
- Limited Starch and Sugar - A low starch and sugar diet is often recommended by veterinarians and nutritionists for horses with metabolic and digestive challenges.
- ‘Cool’ Energy - A sequential release of energy from fat and fermentable fiber provides lower starch calories to meet complex energy demands and help maintain normal digestive health.
- Healthy Rate of Intake - The light and airy nature of extruded feeds may facilitate the breakdown of feed while encouraging slow consumption and more thorough chewing for maintaining digestive health.
- Nutrient Density and Release - A nutrient dense diet means more nutrition by weight, potentially delivering more of what your horse needs in less feed for ideal health and body condition.
- Built-In Fiber - Fiber sources such as soybean hulls, beet pulp and alfalfa meal may help maintain healthy hind-gut fermentation while providing extra calories in a safe and natural form.
- Immune Support - Antioxidant nutrients including stable vitamins and biologically available trace minerals help maintain normal health and metabolism.
- Body Tissue & Integrity - Amino acids such as lysine, methionine and threonine are important for growth and maintenance of all tissues including bone, muscle, hoof and hair.
- Healthy Skin and Hair Coat - Sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids plus protein, B-vitamins and trace mineral complexes may help promote healthy skin, hair coat and hoof condition.
