Hygain Digest and Protect

Complete Digestive Supplement

Hygain Digest & Protect is a comprehensive digestive supplement combining gastric buffering, digestive enzymes, amino acids, prebiotics, probiotics and mycotoxin-binding support to support the horse's entire digestive tract.

Designed for performance, competition and leisure horses, its multi-action formula supports digestion, gastric comfort, nutrient utilisation and a balanced intestinal microbiome.

Finished with a highly palatable aniseed flavour, it is easy to add to the daily ration, including for selective feeders.

Gastric Support

Red Seaweed Extract (Lithothamnion calcareum) provides a naturally derived source of calcium with acid-buffering properties, supporting the gastric environment and digestive comfort in horses facing the demands of training, travelling and competition.Concentrated Slippery Elm has a long history of traditional use for digestive and gastric support. It contains mucilage-forming compounds that develop a soothing, coating consistency when exposed to moisture.

Digestion & Intestinal Health

• Digestive enzymes assist the normal breakdown of nutrients in feed for digestion and absorption
• Glutamine and Threonine are amino acids involved in normal mucin synthesis, intestinal cell function and tissue renewal
• Curcumin, the active component of Turmeric, provides antioxidant support against oxidative stress

Microbiome & Mycotoxin Support

• Prebiotics nourish beneficial microorganisms in the digestive tract
• Probiotics provide beneficial microorganisms to support a stable, balanced gut microbiome and normal hindgut fibre fermentation
• A mycotoxin binder binds susceptible mycotoxins, which can be produced by moulds in pasture, hay, grain and other feeds, assisting their passage through the gut

Mycotoxin binders should not be used to make visibly mouldy, spoiled or otherwise unsafe feed suitable for consumption.
