Modern management — changes in diet, pasture quality, workload, travel and environment — can all influence microbiome stability. Even small shifts in microbial balance can impact digestive efficiency and overall consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMBS combines targeted probiotic strains with complementary prebiotic substrates, supported by humates and fucoidan-rich kelp, to help maintain a stable gut environment and microbial diversity. A balanced microbiome supports metabolic function, behavioural balance, skin condition and overall resilience — providing a practical, consistent approach to whole-horse wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProbiotic Blend (multi-strain beneficial bacteria)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrebiotic Complex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKelp (source of fucoidans)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoals: 5–10mL daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies under 500kg: 20–40mL daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses over 500kg: 40–60mL daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Science\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumates, including fulvic and humic acids, and fucoidan-rich marine polysaccharides represent a complementary approach to microbiome support when combined with targeted probiotic strains such as \u003cem\u003eBacillus subtilis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumates contribute to gut environment stability, supporting nutrient interaction and helping maintain conditions that favour beneficial microbial activity. Fulvic acid, in particular, is associated with enhancing mineral transport and supporting the interaction between nutrients and the gut lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFucoidans, derived from brown seaweeds such as \u003cem\u003eAscophyllum nodosum\u003c\/em\u003e, provide complex sulphated polysaccharides that act as functional substrates within the gut, supporting microbial diversity and the activity of beneficial populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombined with \u003cem\u003eBacillus subtilis\u003c\/em\u003e — a resilient spore-forming probiotic capable of surviving gastric conditions and colonising the hindgut — this creates a synergistic system: the probiotic contributes to microbial balance and enzymatic activity, while humates and fucoidans provide a supportive environment and substrate base. Together this supports the stability, diversity and efficiency of the microbiome, underpinning digestion, nutrient utilisation and overall physiological balance in the horse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vytamyx","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":51385345343652,"sku":"CVMMBSE1","price":39.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5L","offer_id":51385345376420,"sku":"CVMMBSE5","price":128.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10L","offer_id":51385345409188,"sku":"CVMMBSE10","price":210.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20L","offer_id":51385345441956,"sku":"CVMMBSE20","price":390.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200L","offer_id":51385345474724,"sku":"CVMMBSE200","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/9103\/5451\/files\/vytamyx_mbs_1l_bottle_mockup_true_transparent.png?v=1781742946","url":"https:\/\/nztack.co.nz\/products\/equine-microbiome-support-mbs","provider":"NZ Tack Saddlery Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
