  • What is Equine 74® Gastric and how is it administered?

    Equine 74® Gastric is a calcium and magnesium supplement for all classes of horses designed to absorb excess gastric acid caused by feeding and stress, thus buffering the pH value in the horse’s stomach.

    Sports and leisure riders, amateurs, world champions and Olympic champions feed it to their horses daily.

    The supplement is doping-free and suitable for all horses.

  • Where does Equine 74® Gastric come from?

    From the coast of Iceland, processed in Ireland and Germany, 100% natural.

    Equine 74® Gastric is obtained from a special calcareous Marine Algae, Lithothamnion Glaciale (Maerl). This is harvested from the seabed off the coast of Iceland and then subject to gentle drying processes in Ireland.

    The raw material is then processed and packaged in various production steps in Germany – thus the label Made in Germany.

  • At best, feed Equine 74® Gastric twice a day, each time half the recommended daily amount*. If this is not possible, feed once daily. 

    *see feeding recommendation above or on the label

    Equine 74® Gastric is available in both powder and pellet form. The supplement can be fed straight from your hand or added to the horse’s normal feed.

    It is also possible to mix the powder or pellets into moist feed such as mash, this does not impair the buffering effect. When adding powder, the feed should be fed within 10-15 minutes due to the yeast added here.

    The buffering effect of Equine 74® Gastric can last between 6 and 8 hours.

    Equine 74® Gastric can be fed long-term, permanently or as a 6-week program.

    The product is not warranted for any specific use including permissibility. Equine 74® or its sellers shall not be liable for consequential, special or direct damages resulting from use of the product.

  • Equine 74® Gastric works like a sponge to absorb excess gastric acid

    The red algae – the natural basis of Equine 74® Gastric – contain 74 different minerals, including large amounts of calcium and magnesium with high bioavailability.

    Due to its high calcium and magnesium content and its unique sponge structure, Equine 74® Gastric provides an acid buffering capacity that is up to 2.5 times higher than that of supplements derived from limestone and used to buffer excess acid in a horse's stomach.

    This means that Equine 74® Gastric can buffer more gastric acid than conventional products containing calcium.

    Equine 74® Gastric is designed to absorb the excess gastric acid like a sponge, which leads to a more balanced pH level in the horse's stomach*.
