Equitop Pronutrin®
Product Description
Equitop Pronutrin® – Scientifically Proven Support for Stomach Health in Horses
Equitop Pronutrin® is a complementary feed developed to support
the normal function of the horse’s gastric mucosa.
It provides scientifically proven support especially in situations where
the horse’s delicate stomach balance may be disturbed, or as supportive
care for veterinarian-diagnosed gastric ulcers.
Why Choose
The natural balance of the horse’s stomach can be disrupted by stress, changes in feeding, or intense physical exertion. Equitop Pronutrin® offers researched support for the sensitive gastric mucosa:
1. Dual protective action: The product’s pectin and lecithin support the natural protective mechanisms of the gastric mucosa against stomach acids.
2. Strengthens the protective barrier: Lecithin reinforces the water-repellent surface layer of the stomach lining.
3. Helps balance stomach acidity: Pectin supports the protective mucus layer and helps increase the pH of stomach contents.
4. Support during feeding changes: Suitable for use during feeding changes, long-distance transport, and foal weaning.
Applications
Equitop Pronutrin® is a valuable supportive supplement in situations where the horse’s stomach is under stress:
1. Support for gastric ulcer treatment: Can be used alongside veterinary-prescribed medication or as follow-up support after a course of treatment.
2. Stressful situations: Such as long transport journeys, competition seasons, and stable changes.
3. Weaning: Supports stomach health in foals during the stress associated with weaning.
4. Changes in diet: Helps the stomach adapt to a new feeding regime (for example at the beginning or end of the grazing season).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Equitop Pronutrin be used together with gastric ulcer medications?
Yes. Pronutrin® is designed to be used as support alongside veterinary-prescribed treatment. It helps protect the stomach lining during medication.
Is Pronutrin suitable for competition horses?
Yes. It is a popular product among competition horses to support stomach balance during the stress of competitions and travel. The product does not contain doping substances, but always check current anti-doping regulations before competitions.
How long does one container last?
A 3.5 kg package lasts approximately 14 days for a 500 kg horse when given at the recommended dose of 250 g per day.
When should a Pronutrin® course be started before transport or competitions?
