PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Soothe & Gain is a high calorie, low starch and low sugar soaked feed, suitable for horses prone to gastric ulcers. With a high calorie/energy level it is ideal for those in harder work and those that need to put on or maintain weight and condition. The energy that Soothe & Gain supplies is from fibre and oil, providing an excellent source of slow release, stamina-giving energy. Being whole cereal grain free and molasses free it is low in starch and low sugar, ideal for those that react negatively to high starch diets. The fibre sources in Soothe & Gain are also high in Beta-Glucans that form a gel-like consistency, which helps to moderate the transit speed of feed through the stomach and intestines, meaning the stomach remains fuller for longer. Soothe & Gain contains magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, along with a probiotic and a blend of prebiotics to help support healthy digestion. Fully balanced with vitamins and minerals, and containing a careful selection of herbs: mint, nettle, dandelion and fenugreek for their well-known properties and ensuring Soothe & Gain is highly palatable.
