Most people think of Aloe Vera as a cure-all plant for humans, but experienced horse owners know it also benefits equines. Aloe Vera is a natural alternative to chemical-laden products that promotes skin and stomach health in horses. Aloe Vera's use in medicine goes back over 6000 years - it's the gel extract from within the Aloe Vera leaf where the magic comes from. Aloe Vera is packed full of amazing nutrients.
Aloe Vera has proven mucous stimulating properties, anti-oxidant properties, gastric acid regulatory properties & inflammation reducing properties among it's amazing benefits.
Some beneficial effects that have been identified in studies include:
Externally Aloe Vera has long been used to treat skin conditions like skin ulcers, wounds, sunburn etc; the antibacterial and growth stimulating properties are beneficial in treating trauma tissue.
Internally Aloe Vera has become recognized world wide by equine professionals seeking a better treatment for inner health and gastric ulcers. A gastric ulcer is an erosion of the gut lining which leads to localized inflammation and pain. One of the leading causes of gastric ulcers is stress (see our article on Stress)
Many pharmaceuticals used to treat ulcers are designed to shut down the horses gastric acid pump, and while effective that is all they do. Unlike Aloe Vera they have no beneficial effect on the hind gut and some can cause negative side effects. Aloe Vera cures and prevents gastric ulcers and is safe to use year round.
What is GT Performer?
GT Performer is a powerful and unique combination of superior PREBIOTICS and patented hindgut PROBIOTICS.
Probiotics are beneficial super bacteria that suppress the growth of bacteria in the intestinal tract therefore promoting a well balanced gut environment.
Prebiotics are a super food for the probiotics, these natural fibre boosters feed the growth of probiotics in the intestine.
Prebiotics PLUS Probiotics when combined create a functional SYNBIOTIC ingredient.
This synergistic combination assists your horse by
* Improving absorption of vitamins and trace elements
* Normalizing intestinal microflora
* Destroying pathogens
* Improving digestion * Strengthening immunity
* Assisting the prevention of diseases
* Assisting the prevention of diarrhea or constipation
* Improving skin condition.and hoof health.
Why did GT Performer decide to add Aloe Vera to their formula?
Aloe Vera is packed with amazing nutrients which include: * Ace Mannan - a complex carbohydrate that assists nutrients getting to the cells and toxins being withdrawn, especially from epithelial tissues. Proteolytic enzymes assist with dead cell removal for tissue repair to occur * Vitamins A, B, B2, B12, Folic Acid, Niacin, Vit C * Minerals: Zinc, Calcium Copper, Iron Phosphorus, Magnesium, potassium, Sodium Chromium Magnese, Molybdenum * Amino Acids - the building blocks of life in all it's protein forms eg; Muscle, Skin, Bones, Hormones, Blood Enzymes etc. Aloe vera has 20 of the 22 needed by the body and 6 of the essential 7 ones.
* Polysaccharides which act as anti - inflammatorys, antioxidants, blood glucose control (along with Chromium) and immune factor stimulation * Enzymes including Lipase and Amylase derivatives * Saponins to fight infection * Salicylic acid for pain and fever relief
GT Performer with it's carefully selected additives including powerful probiotics & prebiotics, removes lactic acid from the hind gut (a 70% reduction within 8 hours of ingestion from the probiotic alone)
It is this acid which is a leading cause for inflammation, ulcers, colic, gas, diarrhea, laminitis, ill thrift, poor coat, bad behavior, poor performance....
Together GT Performer plus added Aloe Vera act in synergy to reduce inflammation and intestinal dysfunction throughout the entire gut. This results in an improved mircobiome (the balance of the flora & fauna in the gut) providing better nutrient absorption.
Better nutrient absorption means improvements in condition, behavior and performance. It also means an improved immune system as 70% of the body's immunity comes from the lymphatic tissue in a healthy gut wall. Aloe Vera has been clinically proven to cure gastric ulcers but unlike harsh pharmaceuticals, studies prove it improves digestion too.
Aloe Vera is well known for maintaining a healthy epithelium (skin, gut, respiratory and urogenital tracts) it is particularly good at maintaining membrane integrity.
Did you know that horses secrete gastric acid constantly over a 24 hour period - in an adult horse the stomach secretes approximately 1.5 litres of gastric juice HOURLY! Ulcers occur when highly acidic stomach fluid splashes against the lining of the upper region of the stomach. Frequent splashing with this acidic stomach fluid starts eroding the stomach lining, causing spot lesions - these lesions can develop into painful, deep, bleeding ulcers within weeks. Gastric ulcers can occur in both the squamous and glandular regions of the stomach. Statistics have revealed that 90% of Thoroughbred Racehorses are at risk of gastric ulcers. 40 - 70% of Pleasure & Performance horses and ponies are at risk. There is a 67% chance of Endurance horses and a 58% chance of Competition Horses (after 3 days of travel/competition) developing gastric ulcers
All horses can benefit from GT Performer but GT Performer + Aloe Vera goes further.
Developed initially with horses in mind that repeatedly suffered from gastric ulcers GT Performer + Aloe Vera goes that extra mile for problem horses.
GT Performer + Aloe Vera is also beneficial for horses that suffer coat problems such as Rain Scald or Qld Itch, or those affected by insulin resistance, Equine metabolic Syndrome (EMS) laminitis, cushings etc.
GT Performer + Aloe Vera is an innovative product that can assist with gastic ulcers, overall gut health, overall well-being as it is a year round solution to these and many common health problems.
Dr Geoff Tyre B.V.S.c. "For severe cases in my practice, I recommend treatment with Omeprazole or Ranitidine vet pharmaceuticals, they work quickly and effectively to bring about relief and healing, after all we want our animals out of pain as quickly as possible. They are regarded as safe to use for up to 3 months. They shut down the gastric acid production. I do believe they are great short term products. However, without gastric acid, proteins are not broken down to aminos which in turn are not available to be broken down into amino acids for the body to use. The importance of Amino Acids should never be overlooked. Similarly nutrients like calcium are not able to be extracted from the feed as efficiently, and for those reasons I personally recommend a 3 -6 week dose on such products. They are effective 'band-aid/quick fix' solutions but we need to then turn our attention to the future needs of the gut after those treatments"
"As a Vet, I fully understand the benefits of medications. I prescribe them daily for multiple issues. I do,however, see the benefits of natural products that actually work. I believe the benefits of a natural, ongoing preventative far outweigh a harsh chemical "bandaids" option if you have the option and foresight. GT Performer is a prebiotic and probiotic gut health supplement that may assist in keeping the digestive system healthy and functioning at full capacity. When this happens, every body system within the horse can benefit. This means you can enjoy the horse while knowing they are being looked after from the inside,out.
GT Performer - Just as nature intended"
"With stringent quality testing, you can be sure your horse is getting what we believe to be the best gut health supplement available. We are so confident in our products that we test the palatability and results on our own animals and we love the results!"
