Product Description Fast Fix Opti-Biome Paste supports the microbiome and digestive system to promote health, with a unique formulation of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Providing targeted nutrition to support the horse during times of digestive disturbance, stress or illness, during antibiotic therapy, as well as support for the performance and competition horse, during frequent travel and an intense training programme.Postbiotics benefit the horse by: Maintaining optimal gut function and a healthy gut microbiome Helping manage everyday stress Supporting recovery from exercise Probiotics benefit the horse by: Helping fibre digestion - the yeast helps to pull the fibre particles apart. This enables the fibre-digesting bacteria to colonize and digest the fibre more readily, producing volatile fatty acids (VFA 's) which are a vital energy source for the horse. Scavenging pockets of oxygen in the gut, which would otherwise be toxic to many of the beneficial microbes. Outcompeting the lactic acid producing microbes and encouraging the growth of those which can use lactic acid, thus helping to reduce the likelihood of a drop in hindgut pH which can disrupt the delicate balance in the microbiome. Prebiotics, (from fructo-oligosaccharides found in chicory), act as a food source for, and selectively encourage the growth and activity of the beneficial intestinal microbes which are associated with health and well-being.
