Bio-Sponge® FAQ

What is Bio-Sponge®?

Bio-Sponge® (DTO smectite) is referred to as an organo mineral as it is comprised of organic matter and minerals.

How Does Bio-Sponge Work?

Bio-Sponge® has a large surface area and when in close proximity to positively charged ions, it binds to them and will remove them from the digestive system. It’s because of this adsorption-effect that Bio-Sponge® can help maintain gastrointestinal function and health.

How Long Does it Take Bio-Sponge® to Work?

Bio-Sponge works very quickly after administration. If there is no noticeable improvement within 7 days, it's recommended to discontinue use. If there is improvement but the intestinal disturbance hasn't resolved, continue administering Bio-Sponge until the loose stool has subsided.

How Long Can a Horse Stay on Bio-Sponge®?

Some horses consume a maintenance dose of Bio-Sponge® as part of their daily diet to maintain digestive health. For most horses Bio-Sponge® is used until the intestinal disturbance has resolved but it can be used long-term if needed.

In Which Countries is Bio-Sponge® Also Available?

Bio-Sponge® is also available in the following countries: Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and the European Union.

When to Use Bio-Sponge

Bio-Sponge is supportive for intermittent cases of diarrhea. It is also widely used with new foals to support intestinal health. Many veterinarians rely on Bio-Sponge® to help support both foals and adult horses with occasional intestinal disturbances, as well as post-operative cases in their practice.

Making Bio-Sponge® Paste from Powder

Many horses will consume Bio-Sponge® Powder with their feed or supplements. However, if needed, Bio-Sponge® Paste can easily be made from the powder to aid in ease of administration. This can be especially helpful for foals, picky eaters or horses that are not eating due to illness.

Step 1: Mix recommended dose of powdered supplement with liquid to achieve desired consistency. Water is commonly used.

Step 2: Start with syringe fully plunged, then draw mixture up syringe by pulling plunger out from barrel of syringe.

Step 3: Administer full dose to animal orally.

“Einstein is an OTTH. He's athletic, willing and smart. Plus he is sweet and calm, the perfect horse for an amateur!!! Beauty is more than skin deep when talking about my boy. Einstein was having digestion issues causing his tail to be a mess! Since putting him on Bio Sponge and Platinum Performance he is no longer 'squirting' and has a beautiful tail too!!”
