Gastro Sport

Gastro Sport is a balanced blend of minerals and Amino Acids, probiotics and
prebiotics designed to maintain a balanced pH in the stomach. Gastro Sport helps with
regeneration of the mucosal lining of the stomach. Additionally Gastro Sport will aid
the production of Glutathione a powerful antioxidant which will help to metabolize
toxins, break down free radicals, support immune function and block excess inflammation.

Gastro Sport

Proton Pump Inhibitors such as Omeprazole have proven to be extremely effective in treating squamous ulcers, which are ulcers occurring in the upper one-third region of the stomach.

However, these have not been effective in treating ulcers in the glandular portion of the stomach. The glandular region comprises two-thirds of the stomach area. According to an omeprazole study from 2015, “as many as 36% of the glandular ulcers actually worsened over the 28 days of the study, without any association to the dose level.”

Bone remodelling

While research is ongoing, several studies indicate that omeprazole decreased the activation of both the osteoclasts (cells that breakdown bone) and osteoblasts (cells responsible for bone formation).

The importance of calcium and magnesium

Thirty-five percent of the horse’s body contains calcium. This important mineral is needed not only for bones and teeth but also for muscle contraction, blood clotting, enzymatic functions, and cell membrane functions.

Magnesium plays important roles in nerve and muscle function. Along with calcium, it is one of the major minerals in bone. While calcium is critical for muscle contraction, magnesium is critical for muscle relaxation.

Calcium is an important stomach acid buffer but unlike omeprazole, it does not stop the production of stomach acid. When calcium buffers stomach acid, the body is still able to digest proteins and absorb minerals.

Ulcers in Horses

Up to 90% of racehorses and 60% of sport horses as well as mares and foals are affected by ulcers.

Studies have shown that even the smallest change in routine can cause gastric ulcers in as little as five days.

Gastro Sport Is designed to support gastric health and is widely used by top equestrians.

Results

Gastro Sport is designed to aid gut function and to stabilize the pH of the stomach. Gastro Sport also has a calming element due to the added magnesium. With high levels of L Glutamine gastro Sport will strengthen intestinal villi against stressors and help maximize the surface area available for nutrient absorption along the small intestine. L-Glutamine also helps to protect against Gut damage.

Gastro Sport supplies nitrogen to the immune cells of the intestinal mucosa, including T-cells, B-cells, macrophages and neutrophils. L-glutamine, after glucose, is the main fuel for intestinal epithelial cells (which make up the first layer of the gut lining). These “enterocytes” maintain intestinal integrity, ensuring that the gut lining can absorb nutrients while simultaneously keeping pathogens out.
