Digestion Matters
The health of the equine gut is highly correlated to not only general digestive well-being but has far-reaching implications in significant areas of health including seasonal allergic response and immune health, reproduction, neurology and cognition, endocrinology and skeletal integrity. Let Platinum fuel your horse from the inside with one of our high-quality digestive support formulas.
Get Digestive Care“It is hard to comprehend the impact that the microbiome has on health. As more research is published, it will only validate that what was once an afterthought has a primary impact on health. The expanding knowledge base on the hindgut is incredible.”

Reasons to Supplement for Digestive Health
Reasons to Supplement for Digestive Health
Promote a Natural Diet:
Horses are natural grazers, they were never meant to be fed a high amount of grains or concentrates in single feedings, like many modern day equine diets. Adding probiotics, prebiotics and glutamine can promote overall wellness and keep the digestive system running smoothly.
Support Feed Efficiency:
When a horse’s digestive system is functioning properly, the body is able to absorb and utilize nutrients easier leading to less wasted feed and more essential nutrients being put to good use in the body.
Provide Preventative Care:
An estimated 70-80% of the entire immune system resides in the gut. Nourishing beneficial bacteria can help support a healthy gut barrier and microflora balance adding an extra layer of protection for horses.
Should I Feed Grain to my Horse?
High grain diets have been shown to have a detrimental effect on digestion as well as many other aspects of equine health. Many horses thrive on hay and Platinum Performance® Equine including high-level athletic horses. Also, in numerous feeding trials, horses on just hay and Platinum Performance® Equine showed improved health over those being fed typical grain-based commercial diets.

“My horse, Aston, had a history of digestive and weight gain issues. We started him on Platinum Performance® GI on the recommendation of our vet and it's made a huge difference. He gained weight, his body condition is right where we want it, and we don't worry about him having issues when we change hay.”

“After discussing with the vet, I started my mare on Platinum Balance because she was struggling with weight issues despite all the feed I was giving her. Not a week after being on the Balance, I saw a major change in her. Her stools were normal and she began to fill out in her top-line and hips. It was the key to improving her quality of life.”
