What are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are a non-digestible food source to support your horse’s existing good gut microbes. Unlike probiotics they do not contain live bacteria.
Prebiotics support the horses good bacteria, for optimum health, by stimulating the growth and activity of the existing microorganisms. So the helpful bacteria remain healthy. Studies prove the benefits of supplementing horses with Prebiotics for gut health.
It is still an ongoing study to understand what is best to feed your horse for gut support and therefore it is always recommended to speak to your vet for advice. There are many theories on Probiotics but nothing concrete, unlike with Prebiotics.
Synovium Horse Health bases its supplements on only proven science and trials. Always ask advice of your vet if you suspect your horse has ulcers.

Gut supplement for horses – Gastrosafe
Veterinary gastric supplement for horses; for use on horses with a sensitive gut. What is the best horse supplement for ulcers?
Horses are hind gut fermenters, therefore meaning that the large intestine is where breakdown of fibre takes place.
Fibre is the main component of the horse’s forage which is broken down by microorganisms to produce essential nutrients that the horse absorbs.
Because the hind gut is geared for fibre fermentation, it be sensitive due to receiving large amounts of undigested sugars.
Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) frequently referred to as gastric ulcers in horses is a common problem.
Does my horse need an ulcer supplement? Does my horses have gastric ulcers (EGUS)?
Identifying those horses with gastric ulceration can be difficult as early signs can be confused with colic. Horses with ulcers can show mild colic-like symptoms so learn to read the signs of EGUS.
Equine gastric ulcers have been recognised more in recent years and it is important to understand the condition, why it can occur and the symptoms to look out for, to help prevent the high occurrence for future horses.
Some typical clinical signs of EGUS may include:
- Poor or fussy appetite
- Weight loss
- Poor condition, dull coat
- Reduced performance
- Behavioural changes
- Unwillingness to work
- Mild or recurrent colic
- Loose stools
Ulcers can affect any horse, but it is particularly prevalent in performance horses. They can occur in the horse’s stomach when the digestive acids come in contact with and attacks the protective lining of the stomach, mainly in the upper regions of the stomach.
The figures speak for themselves, with 60% of sports horses, 93% of racehorses and 50% of stabled foals showing to be affected by gastric ulceration.
Gastrosafe gut supplement for horses contains:
Gastrosafe is specially formulated to support optimal gastric health in horses, helping to manage acid levels and maintain a healthy digestive system. Its unique blend of natural ingredients includes:
-
Calcium Carbonate – A natural antacid that helps neutralize excess stomach acid.
-
Seaweed (Laminaria hyperborea) – Research shows this specific seaweed forms a gel-like raft in the stomach, providing a protective barrier against acid splash, especially in the non-glandular (upper) part of the stomach where ulcers commonly develop.
-
Magnesium Hydroxide – Supports horses prone to stress by replenishing magnesium, an essential mineral often depleted under pressure.
-
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) – These proven prebiotics feed beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy microbiome. FOS are specific carbohydrate chains that reach the hindgut, where they’re broken down by microbes to help maintain digestive balance and support nutrient absorption.
-
Glutamine – An important amino acid that supports gut lining integrity and recovery.
-
Threonine – An essential amino acid involved in mucin production, which helps protect the gut lining.
-
Kaolin – A gentle anti-diarrheal ingredient that helps firm up loose, watery stools.
Did you know?
Horses produce stomach acid continuously throughout the day. Without regular buffering from saliva or food, this can lead to acid splashing and ulceration. Gastrosafe helps form a protective layer to reduce the risk of this common issue.

I’ve been using a number of Synovium supplements on my horses for the last few months. Cobey my showjumper is on Agility Electrolytes Q and Gastrosafe to keep her in top condition with her busy competition schedule. She feels better than ever and performing at her best. I would highly recommend these supplements due to the in-depth research and trials they go through and my own experiences using them.

I can not recommend this supplement enough. After trying many different supplements for my horse, Synovium Gastrosafe has been the first to actually make a difference. His whole attitude has changed and has not reared in months, his jump has improved now he is more relaxed and I have been able to up his training without arguments. It really has been a game changer, I have been using it now for 6 months and will not be taking him off it.
