Cavalor Gastro Aid Paste

Cavalor Gastro Aid creates a healthy environment in the stomach by neutralising gastric acid and protecting the stomach wall. A horse’s stomach produces acid continuously, making it very susceptible to developing wounds or sores.

The herbs in Cavalor Gastro Aid help to protect the stomach wall against excess acid. They provide extra support for the stomach by stimulating saliva production and promoting the healing of ulcers.

Product Properties - Key Ingredients 

A horse constantly produces stomach acid. This means that when the stomach is empty, the stomach acid irritates the stomach wall and causes sores or ulcers.

There are several ways to protect the stomach from this stomach acid. Ideally,
the horse has hay available throughout the day, and the hay’s fibres form a protective mat in the stomach that absorbs the acid and gives it no chance of harming the stomach wall.

In addition, the amount of sugar and starch in each meal
must be kept as low as possible because sugar and starch among other things increase acid production. 

Feed management is an essential aspect in preventing stomach ulcers, but once stomach ulcers have been diagnosed there is a greater chance that they will come back sooner or later.

For this reason, it is recommended that horses susceptible to stomach ulcers receive daily support.

Cavalor Gastro Aid mainly consists of herbs that protect the stomach wall and help neutralise stomach acid. This in turn means that the stomach acd is much less likely to damage the stomach wall.

Also, Cavalor Gastro Aid provides faster healing if the stomach wall has already been damaged.
