Gut Balancer
Gut Balancer supports optimal nutrition by providing key nutrients, and by improving digestive function and efficiency. Gut Balancer contains a palatable probiotic and unique dual source prebiotics, specifically designed for horses and ponies. Use daily for general wellbeing.
The probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains numerous essential amino acids, vitamins, including vitamin B6, and important minerals. S. cerevisiae promotes fibre digestion, maximising dietary potential through the release of safe calories from fibre, ensuring optimum nutrition.
Gut Sponge
Gut Sponge is a palatable, peppermint flavoured, nutritional supplement formulated to support hind gut health and encourage the formation of normal droppings.
Gut Sponge contains psyllium husks, a prebiotic and valuable energy source for the horse due to its fermentation by the microbiota. This provides safe calories, promotes the growth of friendly bacteria and nourishes the gut lining cells. The high fibre psyllium husks absorb water in the gut, coating and protecting the gut lining and helping the production of normal droppings. This is enhanced by the high level of Bentonite - a natural binding agent - and source of essential minerals. Linseed is a nutritious source of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which supports gut health and general well-being.
All Protexin Equine Premium supplements are complementary feeds - designed to provide nutrition, as well as support digestive function and efficiency.

Can Gut Balancer be given to horses long term?
Gut Balancer is designed to be given daily, for the life of the horse where necessary. The horse's gastrointestinal system is influenced by many different factors throughout its life and is constantly changing. Therefore any horse at any age can benefit from the support provided by Gut Balancer.
Can Gut Sponge be used alongside Gut Balancer?
Yes. Both Gut Sponge and Gut Balancer support hind gut health, but by different mechanisms. The addition of Gut Balancer provides probiotic and additional prebiotic support. They can be fed together, but when you're feeding Gut Sponge once daily it's best to feed Gut Balancer at the opposite end of the day.
Can Gut Sponge be used with Gut Bind?
Whilst it would be safe to feed both products together, Gut Sponge and Gut Bind support gut health in a similar way. It would be better to feed Gut Balancer alongside Gut Sponge to provide additional probiotic and prebiotic support.
Can Gut Sponge be used alongside other Protexin products?
Yes. It is safe to feed Gut Sponge alongside all other Protexin products. For more information on Gut Balancer and Gut Bind see above; for other products, or to ask a specific question about your horse please get in touch with our technical team.
What is a macrolide?
Macrolides are a class of antibiotics, including erythromycin, clarithromycin and others. Smectite clays are known to bind macrolides and stop them from working. It is therefore not recommended to use Gut Sponge alongside oral macrolides. However, macrolides are very rarely used in horses - except when treating Rhodococcus equi infection in foals. If you have any doubts, please speak to your vet.

Amazing duo
My horse has loose droppings due to IBD and within a couple of days I can see an improvement with the gut sponge, she can be fussy with food but eats this no problem. I use the gut balancer everyday and it seems to help with everyday gut function. This is a great duo and I will continue to purchase.
