WHAT IS EQUITOP® PRONUTRIN?
Equitop® Pronutrin is a unique supplement that has been specifically designed to support your horse's gastric health. It contains 77% Apolectol, a patented combination of fruit and vegetable fibre, glycerol and lecithin, which forms a gel to support the stomach's natural defences and maintain healthy gastric acidity for optimal gastric health.
Equitop® Pronutrin is formulated as tasty pellets which are mixed with the feed. The daily feeding amount is 50g (1 scoop) per 100kg bodyweight, divided between feeds.
One tub typically lasts a horse for 2 weeks, providing good value for money for the high quality ingredients in each scoop.

WHY FEED EQUITOP® PRONUTRIN?
Equitop® Pronutrin is a unique supplement that is designed to support gastric health in horses. Unlike the vast majority of equine gastric supplements on the market, Equitop® products are manufactured by a veterinary pharmaceutical company, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health. Being the global leaders in equine medicine and utilising the research and development heritage of the business has allowed for the vet-endorsed supplement Equitop® Pronutrin.
Manufactured to good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards, Equitop® Pronutrin offer you peace of mind that you are providing your horse with a thoroughly researched gastric supplement that has been created to the highest industry standards by the leaders in science-based equine products.
GASTRIC SUPPLEMENTS FOR HORSES
The horse has evolved as a "trickle" feeder, constantly grazing, and continuously secreting gastric acid. Saliva buffers this stomach acid but is only produced in response to feeding. Horses are prone to stress-induced changes to their gastric (stomach) health, in particular the development of gastric ulcers.
Management changes to reduce stress can help maintain your horse's gastric health, as can careful chewing. Gastric supplements based on natural fruit and vegetable fibres, such as Equitop® Pronutrin, can help support the protective mucus layers of the stomach, and help maintain optimal gastric acidity.
APOLECTOL FOR HORSES
Apolectol is a unique patented fruit and vegetable fibre-based pectin-glycerol- lecithin complex. It forms a gel in the stomach, helping stabilise the protective mucus layer in the stomach and maintain healthy gastric acidity for optimal gastric health.
Scientific studies agree Apolectol helps maintain an optimal stomach environment and offers you reassurance that you are supporting your horse's gastric health.
CHOSEN BY CHAMPIONS
Whether an elite showjumper, a dynamic dressage rider or the next big eventing superstar, Equitop® Pronutrin has been chosen by champions from leading equestrian disciplines for many years and continues to be a mainstay in feed rooms throughout the country.
