Special needs of performance horses

Performance horse owners know that digestive upsets are a widespread problem often aggravated by lifestyle and schedule changes.

It’s not easy for a horse to perform at optimal levels when his stomach is in turmoil. Performance horse owners know that digestive upsets are a widespread problem often aggravated by lifestyle and schedule changes and can lead to a less than stellar performance.

Clinical studies demonstrate that an astounding 93 percent of racing thoroughbreds and 63 percent of other performance horses have a high incidence of digestive upset.

Level pH™ Extended Release Gastric Support was developed for the special needs of performance horses.  The exclusive extended release formula balances stomach acid and stomach pH for more than 12 hours*.  It also provides a vital electrolyte profile – sodium, potassium and magnesium – providing essential electrolytes lost to sweat and exercise, as well as those lost in training, traveling and stabling.

“Level pH™ Gastric Support is perfect for horses who are feeling the strain of intense training and competition,” said Cherie White, brand manager for Vita Flex Nutrition.  “While other gastric support products work briefly, before acid levels begin to climb, only Level pH™ Gastric Support has extended release properties that allow benefits to be delivered over an extended period of time.”

Available in a 5-pound bucket a 30-day supply** Level pH™ Gastric Support is a palatable, easy-to-feed pellet.  Feed one to two scoops twice daily as a top dressing over the horse’s feed.  During intensive training or competition, feed two scoops, two to three times daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.  Refer to the product label for complete feeding directions.

The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) Quality Seal proudly appears on the Level pH™ Gastric Support label.  To qualify to display the seal, member suppliers must pass an independent quality audit, follow documented quality control processes, follow label guidelines, include warning statements and report any adverse events.
