"I'm feeding another gastric supplement. How does GastroEase EQ™ Advanced compare?"

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. Succeed®

Succeed® supports the horse's hindgut. GastroEase EQ™ supplies the same hindgut support as Succeed®, but with the addition of hydrolyzed collagen to support the repair of gastric lining tissue, and a spectrum of gastric buffers and soothing agents to support foregut health.

The addition of Calcium, Phosporus, Magnesium and Tyrosine in GastroEase EQ™ helps to buffer the overproduction of stomach acid exacerbated by stress, while soothing agents like Quercetin and DGL help combat inflammation that contributes to ulcer formation.

GastroEase EQ™ also includes Psyllium Husk, which offers a range of benefits when it comes to maintaining the digestive health of horses. When administered in small amounts daily, it functions as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the hindgut.

GastroEase EQ™'s inclusion of Omega-3 Fatty Acids help to restore a disturbed gut microbiota community. Many factors can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut, such as stress, illness, or dietary changes. Omega-3 fatty acids can help rectify this imbalance and promote the growth of helpful bacteria, effectively restoring digestive health.

Both foregut and hindgut support are necessary for your horse's digestive system to maintain proper function. When compared to Succeed®, GastroEase EQ™ offers complete support for the entire gastric system, at a fraction of the cost. Maintaining a horse on Suceed® costs an average of $3.55 per day, while GastroEase EQ™ costs as little as $1.81 per day.

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. SmartGI Ultra Pellets

SmartGI Ultra Pellets is a popular supplement that offers support for the horse's natural digestive process with acid neutralizers, soothing agents, herbs for stomach support and probiotics and prebiotics.

When compared with SmartGI Ultra Pellets, you'll find that the premise is the same - total support from foregut to hindgut - but GastroEase EQ™ supplies a broader spectrum of ingredients, and no herbal ingredients.

The addition of Phosphorus and Tyrosine in GastroEase EQ™ act as gastric buffers help to manage pH imbalance, while the addition of Quercetin acts to counteract inflammation that may contribute to ulcer formation.

Finally, the cost of maintenance is less with GastroEase EQ™. Maintaining on SmartGI Ultra Pellets costs an average of $3.46 per day, while GastroEase EQ™ costs as little as $1.81 per day.

Compare:

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. Alimend

Alimend’s formula is created to work in the foregut of the horse by acting as a protective layer to gastric tissues. It also supplies a specific strain of prebiotics that feed the good bacteria in the gut for enhanced digestion and absorption.

Alimend is promoted as a foregut ulcer product only, and would require the feeding of additional products in order to address hindgut ulcers and benefit the entire gastric process.

In comparison, GastroEase EQ™ Advanced Pellets not only supplies gastric soothing agents and a broad spectrum of prebiotics, but delivers ingredients that benefit the entire digestive process.

GastroEase includes multiple ingredients for gastric lining comfort. For example, ingredients Hydrolyzed Collagen, DGL (Deglycyrrhized Licorice Root) and Quercetin work to promote anti-inflammatory processes while protecting and healing gastric lining. It also delivers omega-3 fatty acids to further fortify gastric tissue.

GastroEase supplies a broad yet specific variety of probiotics and prebiotics to support the GI flora, as well as the hindgut. The addition of psyllium husk further aids the hindgut by acting as a prebiotic and supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria.

The benefit of GastroEase over Alimend is that it covers all digestive processes, the disfunction of which can lead to stomach and hindgut ulcers. GastroEase EQ™ Advanced Pellets cost as little as $1.81, in contract to Alimend’s cost of $2.47 per day.

Compare:

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. RiteTrac

RiteTrac promotes two main functions: First, it supplies antacids and coating agents that address the overproduction of stomach acid, helping to neutralize the pH balance of the stomach environment. Second, RiteTrac supplies a hindgut buffer that slowly works in the cecum and colon, thought to achieve a balanced pH and reducing the chance of hindgut acid issues.

RiteTrac works well as a buffering product, but does not address the other equine digestive processes that must be supported for optimal gut health a the avoidance of foregut and hindgut ulcers.

GastroEase supports the entire digestive process by suppling gastric buffers including magnesium silicate, calcium carbonate, and also protecting and healing at-risk gastrointestinal tissue with ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, sodium copper chlorophyllin, l-glycine, l-glutamine, DGL (Deglycyrrhized Licorice Root), omega-3 fatty acids and more.

GastroEase supplies a broad yet specific blend of probiotics and prebiotics that are well studied to benefit the good bacteria in the gut, while also eliminating harmful bacteria. This helps with the digestion and absorption of feed, and also enhances your horse’s immune function.

GastroEase supplies everything your horse’s digestive process needs from foregut to hindgut. Like RiteTrac, it supplies buffering ingredients to balance gastric pH - but it doesn’t stop there. Your horse’s digestive system is a complete and delicate system, and GastroEase delivers ingredients that benefit the entire process.

Finally, RiteTrac costs $4.48 per day, while GastroEase EQ™ Advanced Pellets support your horse’s entire gastric system for as little as $1.81 per day.

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. Assure Guard Gold

Assure Guard Gold claims to be “the only complete solution” for your horse’s daily digestive and wellness support needs.

The primary ingredient in Assure Guard Gold is psyllium husk, which when fed in small amounts acts as a prebiotic and is beneficial to hindgut bacteria. Fed in large amounts, it is thought to act as a sand purge. Too much psyllium, though, can lead to impaction and create more harm than good. Dosage is key when delivering psyllium, especially on a daily basis.

Assure Guard Gold also supplies pre- and probiotics, a gastric buffer, digestive enzymes, yeast, and calcium carbonate for overall gastric health.

Assure Guard Gold is a well designed product, but GastroEase EQ Advanced Pellets supply a more extensive blend of ingredients, including gastric lining healing and soothing agents notably missing from the former.

Like Assure Guard Gold, GastroEase supplies psyllium husk with the intent to support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the hindgut and promote regular bowel movements. To support the digestive processes and hindgut motility, GastroEase delivers a well established safe level to feed continuously, thereby avoiding the potential hazard of hindgut impactions related to high levels of psyllium supplementation. (Source.)

Protecting and repairing gastric mucosa is essential when supporting the horses’ overall digestive process. Ingredients in GastroEase such as hydrolyzed collagen, l-glycine, l-glutamine, DGL (deglycyrrhized licorice root) and quercetin all play a crucial role in supporting mucosal lining health, promoting the healing of ulcers and supporting the integrity of the intestinal barrier.

Many factors can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut, such as stress, illness, or dietary changes. GastroEase supplies omega-3 fatty acids to help rectify this imbalance and promote the growth of helpful bacteria, which is essential for restoring digestive health.

Assure Guard Gold supplies several beneficial ingredients, but the claim of “complete” support lacks when compared with GastroEase EQ™ Advanced Pellets, and the amount of psyllium husk may or may not prove beneficial for an extended period.

At a cost of $4.70 per day, Assure Guard Gold costs significantly more than GastroEase EQ’s more thorough support costing as little as $1.81 per day.

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. 100X Equine Gut X

Gut X is promoted to support “good gut health and trigger immune response” by delivering two ingredients - hyaluronan and beta glucan.

Hyaluronic Acid (hyaluronan) is well known for its support of the horse’s joints and connective tissues, but it can also play a role in protecting the gastric mucosa and creating an environment for ulcers to heal.

Beta Glucans have a prebiotic effect where they selectively stimulate growth of specific strands of beneficial microbes in the colon.

Both of these ingredients are inarguably beneficial to your horse’s digestive process, but your horse requires much more than these alone for marked improvement in digestive function. GastroEase delivers multiple ingredients for the benefit of mucosal lining and inflammation, including hydrolyzed collagen, sodium copper chlorophyllin, l-glycine, DGL (deglycyrrhized licorice root), quercetin and more.

Like Gut X, GastroEase supplies beta glucans in the form of Oat Beta Glucan, to stimulate the beneficial bacteria in the gut. GastroEase goes further by delivering MOS and FOS prebiotics that not only feed the good bacteria but destroy harmful bacteria in the gut.

GastroEase also delivers a broad spectrum of probiotics that deliver good bacteria to the gut to limit pathogenic activity and enhance digestion and absorption of your horse’s feed.

Finally, GastroEase also includes psyllium husk for optimal hindgut function, and omega-3 fatty acids to fortify gastric tissue.

While Gut X does supply two helpful ingredients, it is quite limited in its support of your horse’s overall digestive process. The support from GastroEase goes far beyond hyaluronan and beta glucan alone.

As a cost comparison, the limited support of Gut X does cost less than GastroEase at $0.89 per day, versus GastroEase’s extensive support with a daily cost of $1.81 per day.

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. Neigh-Lox Advanced

Neigh-Lox Advanced claims a proprietary blend of ingredients that support normal pH levels throughout the digestive tract, sustain a healthy environment for bacteria, and maintain healthy tissues.

While the complete ingredient list is not published, it is said to balance gastric acid levels, contribute to a healthy mucosal lining, deliver a broad spectrum of unnamed prebiotics and supply saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic that we agree is exceptionally beneficial to the intestinal tract and helpful for addressing chronic diarrhea.

While we cannot address each ingredient in Neigh-Lox Advanced as only a small selection are published, we can demonstrate how GastroEase addresses the same segments of the digestive process - and more.

Like Neigh-Lox Advanced, GastroEase supplies the specific probiotic saccharomyces boulardii. GastroEase also delivers saccharomyces cerevisiae, enterococcus faecium, enterococcus lactis, lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium longum. These broad spectrum probiotics work to limit pathogenic activity in the gut while enhancing the efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients from your horse’s feed.

GastroEase also supplies prebiotics MOS and FOS, plus oat beta glucan and psyllium husk, which acts as a prebiotic when fed in small amounts.

To support normal pH levels while protecting and healing gastric tissue, GastroEase delivers ingredients like Hydrolyzed Collagen, DGL (Deglycyrrhized Licorice Root) and Quercetin to promote anti-inflammatory processes while protecting and healing gastric lining. It also delivers omega-3 fatty acids to further fortify gastric tissue.

In comparison to Neigh-Lox Advanced, GastroEase supports your horse’s entire digestive process and publishes each ingredient, so that you are able to research appropriate studies and make the best decision for your particular horse. As a cost comparison, Neigh-Lox Advanced costs $4.32 per day, while GastroEase EQ’s complete digestive support costs as little as $1.81 per day.

Compare:

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. U-Gard

U-Gard is a daily product that includes buffering and soothing agents for your horse’s stomach and mucosal lining. The ingredients are indeed beneficial, as it supplies magnesium, calcium, glycine, zinc, dgl (deglycyrrhized licorice root) and aloe vera.

The ingredients in U-Gard do a great job at balancing the pH of the stomach, but the management of stomach acid is only one piece of your horse’s total digestive process.

GastroEase was designed to address stomach acid and much more, by not only delivering buffering and soothing agents almost identically to U-Gard, but also supplying a broad spectrum of prebiotics and probiotics for nutrient digestion and absorption, psyllium husk for optimal hindgut function, and omega-3 fatty acids to fortify gastric tissue.

U-Gard’s limited support does cost less than GastroEase, at about $0.95 per day. GastroEase EQ’s complete digestive support costs as little as $1.81 per day.

Compare:

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. Probios

Probios is strictly a probiotic formula that delivers lactobacillus plantarum, enterococcus faecium, lactobacillus casei & lactobacillus acidophilus. Probiotics, also found in GastroEase, are a major piece of your horse’s overall digestive health. But they are not exhaustive.

Your horse’s gastric system is complex, and optimal maintenance requires the management of stomach acidity, addressing inflammation and integrity of the mucosal tissue, and supporting probiotics with prebiotics. GastroEase addresses this entire process by supporting both foregut and hindgut function.

To optimize your horse’s health, GastroEase supplies acid neutralizers, soothing agents, tissue regenerators, probiotics, prebiotics plus psyllium for optimal hindgut function and omega-3 fatty acids to fortify gastric tissue.

Probios is relatively inexpensive at only $0.27 per day. You would need to feed additional products in order to achieve the support of GastroEase EQ’s all-inclusive formula, which costs as little as $1.81 per day.

Compare:

GastroEase EQ™ Advanced vs. Ramard® Total Gut Health

Total Gut Health is touted as “one of the most comprehensive gastrointestinal products ever produced, addressing issues in the entire GI tract plus those caused by poor absorption.” Total Gut Health delivers 9 ingredients, two of which are proprietary.

Total Gut Health does deliver a selection of beneficial ingredients also found in GastroEase, such as l-glutamine, psyllium husk, magnesium and beta glucan.

The proprietary ingredients Nucleoforce™ and BioFlavex™ are said to help with mucosal lining health and also act as prebiotics. GastroEase supplies the prebiotics MOS and FOS, plus oat beta glucan and psyllium husk to help feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut, while also eliminating harmful pathogens.

In addition to prebiotics, GastroEase delivers a broad spectrum of probiotics not found in Total Gut Health, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enterococcus faecium, enterococcus lactis, lactobacillus acidophilus, saaccharomyces boulardii and bifidobacterium longum. Saaccharomyces boulardii in particular is a probiotic yeast often used for the treatment of GI tract disorders such as diarrhea symptoms. It has the purpose of introducing beneficial microbes into the large and small intestines and conferring protection against pathogens, and has been shown in human studies to prevent diarrhea derived from a variety of causes.

GastroEase also delivers omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to restore a disturbed gut microbiota community. Many factors can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut, such as stress, illness, or dietary changes. Omega-3 fatty acids can help rectify this imbalance and promote the growth of helpful bacteria, effectively restoring digestive health.

In addition to Total Gut Health’s magnesium and l-glutamine, GastroEase supplies gastric lining support in the form of hydrolyzed collagen, sodium copper chlorophyllin, l-glycine, l-threonine, deglycyrrhized licorice root, gamma oryzanol, brassica oleracea italica (BOI 342), lecithin and quercetin.

A direct comparison of the published ingredients demonstrates GastroEase EQ™ Advanced Pellets to deliver more thorough support for your horse’s overall gastric health. At $2.85 per day, Total Gut Health is relatively inexpensive among equine gastric products, but is still much more than GastroEase EQ’s daily cost of $1.81 per day.
