Gastro Race + is a balanced blend of minerals and vitamins and Amino Acids, prebiotics and probiotics designed to maintain a balanced pH in the stomach. Race + contains ingredients to improve intestinal development. It also contains powerful antioxidants which help to metabolize toxins, break down free radicals and support immune function. Gastro Race + also contains 125mg of copper per dose. Proton Pump Inhibitors such as Omeprazole have proven to be extremely effective in treating squamous ulcers, which are ulcers occurring in the upper one-third region of the stomach. However, these have not been effective in treating ulcers in the glandular portion of the stomach. The glandular region comprises two-thirds of the stomach area. According to an omeprazole study from 2015, “as as many as 36% of the glandular ulcers actually worsened over the 28 days of the study, without any association to the dose level.” Bone Remodelling While research is ongoing, several studies indicate that omeprazole decreased the activation of both the osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) and osteoblasts (cells responsible for bone formation). The importance of calcium and magnesium Thirty five percent of the horse’s body contains calcium. This important mineral is needed not only for bones and teethbut also for muscle contraction, blood clotting, enzymatic functions, and cell membrane functions. Magnesium plays important roles in nerve and muscle function. Along with calcium, it is one of the major minerals in bone. While calcium is critical for muscle contraction, magnesium is critical for muscle relaxation. Calcium is an important stomach acid but unlike omeprazole, it does not stop the production of stomach acid. When calcium buffers stomach acid, the body is still able to digest proteins and absorb minerals. Ulcers in Horses Up to 90% of racehorses and 60% of sport horses as well as mares and foals are aected by ulcers. Studies have shownthat even the smallest change in routine can cause gastric ulcers in as little as ve days. Gastro Race + contains 125 mg of copper per dose. Copper is involved in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the primary energy currency in cells. An enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase, reliant on copper, it plays a crucial role in ATP synthesis within the mitochondria. Adequate copper levels are essential for optimal energy production, which directly affects performance.Copper-dependent enzymes called ferroxidases are responsible for mobilizing iron stores from the liver, bone marrow, and spleen. If a horse lacks sufficient copper, iron metabolism may suffer, leading to impaired red blood cell function. Results Gastro Race + is designed to aid gut function and to stabilize the pH of the stomach. Gastro Race + also has a calming element due to the added magnesium. With high levels of L-Glutamine Gastro Race + will strengthen intestinal villi against stressors and help maximize the surface area available for nutrient absorption along the small intestine. L-Glutamine also helps to protect against Gut damage. Gastro Race + supplies nitrogen to the immune cells of the intestinal mucosa, including T-cells, B-cells, macrophages and neutrophils. L-Glutamine, after glucose, is the main fuel for intestinal epithelial cells (which makeup the first layer of the gut lining). These “enterocytes” maintain intestinal integrity, ensuring that the gut lining can absorb nutrients while simultaneously keeping pathogens out. Testimonials: Really good product with great results We have been using Gastro Race on our competition horses and breakers for a few months now and have been delighted with the results.Our horses are feeling and looking great with a noticeable difference since starting them on this supplement. We have found it very palatable, and it allows us to utilise our feed more efficiently.
