GastroMend is a completely natural, totally unique dietary supplement for horses at risk of developing gastric ulcers, horses with symptoms of gastric ulcers, and horses diagnosed with gastric ulcers or EGUS (Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome.) Different from the typical coating agents and pricey acid-reducing drugs, GastroMend is formulated to help heal the stomach naturally, in its normal acidic environment. Centella asiatica, a flowering plant used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine, is GastroMend's key ingredient. GastroMend promotes ulcer healing by stimulating collagen and fibronectin production in the body. Collagen is a protein that makes up numerous tissues, including the lining of the intestines. Fibronectin is another type of protein that's part of the extracellular matrix, helping healthy new cells get organized and go where they're needed. In simple terms, if collagen is a picture in a collage, fibronectin is the frame. Featuring vitamin A to help boost collagen generation and vitamin C to help cells stay strong, GastroMend is rounded out by the trace mineral zinc to aid in wound healing. Gastric ulcers are surprisingly common among horses of various ages and breeds exposed to everyday stressors, like a new barn, or training and showing, for example. Additionally, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like phenylbutazone) can contribute to ulcer formation. NSAIDs interfere with the stomach's mucus production, a protective mechanism that helps keep normal stomach acid from causing tissue damage and pain. Signs of gastric ulcers may be subtle— ulcers could be to blame for your horse's less-than-ideal body condition or poor attitude. GastroMend promotes healing by stepping up collagen formation to help repair the mucus layer of the stomach so it can function as nature intended. Help take ulcers out of the equation with GastroMend today—horse people don't call it “green magic” for nothing!
