Gut Buf for Horses
A Powerful Ant-Acid and Natural Source of Bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium
The active ingredients in Gut Buf for Horses reside in the calcified skeleton of red sea weed (Lithothamnion
calcareum) which grew in the pollution free, mineral rich waters of Iceland and southwestern Ireland.
Gut Buf for Horses: A Unique Structure.
The open and porous structure of Gut Buf for Horses provides a high surface area (> 280 square yards per
ounce) to volume ratio allowing for greater contact with the digestive juices in the stomach than calcium
carbonate. In mice supplemented with Gut Buf for Horses verses calcium carbonate, the Gut Buf for Horses
treatment resulted in a 13.7% improvement in bone density with 11.1% more calcium absorbed.
Furthermore, the high bioavailability of the calcium and magnesium in Gut Buf for Horses improves the
absorption of these essential minerals for healthy skeletal growth, development and maintenance. Calcium is
also essential for proper muscle integrity and function.
Gut Buf for Horses: A Strong Ant-Acid.
Ant-acids are used routinely in the diet of active performance horses (racing, eventing, showing or western) to
help alleviate the irritation caused by stomach ulcers. Stomach ulcers usually occur in the non-glandular
mucosa of the stomach, which lacks adequate protection against the harmful effects of stomach acids.
Calcium Carbonate has a harsh
crystalline structure with no evidence
of a porous structure. Gut Buf for Horses has a porous
honey cone structure with outer and
inner pore like structures.
