Equine 74 CALMRELAX forms a protective barrier in the horse's stomach
Equine 74 CALMRELAX has a marine origin. It is extracted from the brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum (Fam. Fucaceae) which grows off the coast of Scotland. Aggressive gastric acid can reach the sensitive stomach lining in the upper, glandless part of the horse's stomach through the peristalsis of the stomach and through the horse's movement. This causes stomach irritation and pain.
Equine 74 CALMRELAX blends with the stomach acid to form a gel-like substance, creating a protective barrier that covers the stomach contents like a film and keeps prevents the acid from reaching these sensitive areas. This protective film then dissolves and is excreted directly from the intestine without being absorbed into the blood.
