Why use it?
Natural digestive support supplement to help maintain healthy stomach and hindgut function, digestive balance, pH levels, and nutrient absorption. Helps reduce gastric ulceration and supports horses prone to colic. Contains Meadowsweet, prohibited under FEI and BHA regulations; a 96-hour withdrawal period is advised.
GastriX is a natural, dried supplement specially formulated for horses, ponies, and donkeys to help maintain and support a healthy and efficient digestive system. It promotes balanced pH levels, enhances optimum nutrient absorption, and supports horses that are on limited turnout or living in stressful environments. Additionally, GastriX complements your regular worming programme. It contains a blend of beneficial herbs, including Slippery Elm, Meadowsweet, and Cramp Bark, known for their supportive effects on digestive health.
In today’s fast-paced world, horses are often expected to perform at high levels, whether through rigorous training, frequent travel, or being fed concentrated protein diets. Not all horses are able to cope with these demands, and some may begin to lose condition, appear ‘tucked up,’ or struggle to thrive.
Ideally, horses should have regular access to turnout, allowing them time to relax and express natural behaviours. However, when they are subjected to pressure or environmental stressors, it can become difficult for them to maintain a balanced digestive system, sometimes with serious health implications.
In such situations, GastriX can be a valuable addition to your horse’s diet to help encourage and support digestive balance. It is also important to review and adjust areas of your horse’s management, where possible, to further promote a healthy and stable digestive system.
This product contains Meadowsweet classified as a prohibited substance under FEI and BHA regulations.
For those competing under FEI and other National and International regulations, a 96hr withdrawal period is advised. GastriX should be used with care to ensure cross contamination of feed equipment does not occur. The Responsible Person should always check with their governing body regarding current competition legislation.
Alternatively, our GastriX PLUS is audited under the BETA NOPS Scheme as suitable for FEI competition. Click here to find out more.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.









The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
