New ways to support the sensitive stomach
Gastiva® is based on the latest scientific findings and was specifically developed for horses with known gastric sensitivity, animals under intense training stress, and during feed and stable changes.
Gastric sensitivity in horses – more common than you think
Up to 90% of sport horses and around 30% of leisure horses suffer from stomach-related stress – caused by:
- Increased stomach acid production
- Nutritional imbalances
- Changes in feeding routines
- Physical stress
Gastiva® offers an innovative and promising approach.
The innovative solution for the gastric mucosa
Gastiva® provides nutrients to physiologically support the cellular metabolism. It contains hyaluronic acid, processed as a special gel with mucilaginous substances, to support the cells of the gastric mucosa even under acidic conditions.
Why hyaluronic acid in the stomach?
Hyaluronic acid is primarily known for its application in joints, skin, or eyes. What is new, however, is its use to support the gastric mucosa: gelled HA can promote cellular metabolism in the stomach – an innovative approach that is already well-documented in human research.
Natural mucosal protectors: Algae & Aloe
Gastiva® additionally contains a synergistic combination of natural mucosal-protective substances. Selected algae and aloe components apply a gentle protective film over the gastric mucosa and thus promote its regeneration – especially under acidic conditions.
Innovative combination of active ingredients
Gelled hyaluronic acid, mucilaginous substances, algae, and aloe – for multi-layered protection of the gastric mucosa.
Supports gastric sensitivity
For horses under training stress, after treatment, or during feed changes – also suitable for preventive use.
Scientifically inspired
Developed based on new findings from human research on cellular gastric support.
