GUTMATRIX™ Granules

Concentrated Digestive Terrain Stabilization

Buffer. Protect. Stabilize.

GUTMATRIX™ Granules are a concentrated daily digestive-support formula designed to help stabilize the horse’s gastric and hindgut environment.

Rather than addressing only the stomach or only the hindgut, GUTMATRIX Granules support the complete digestive terrain: the upper digestive tract, hindgut pH, microbial population, normal fermentation, nutrient absorption, and digestive resilience.

This is especially important for horses exposed to concentrated feed, intense training, travel, competition, feed changes, reduced forage intake, medication, or other conditions that can disrupt normal gastrointestinal balance.

Why GUTMATRIX Granules Are Different

Many digestive supplements provide only one form of support.

Some temporarily neutralize acid.

Some coat the stomach.

Some add microbial organisms.

Some provide a basic buffer.

GUTMATRIX Granules combine multiple complementary forms of digestive support in one concentrated formula.

The formula is designed to:

• Buffer excessive acidity
• Support the upper stomach’s protective environment
• Help stabilize hindgut pH
• Support beneficial microbial populations
• Encourage normal forage fermentation
• Maintain digestive resilience
• Support nutrient absorption
• Help horses remain more comfortable and consistent

The Gastric Environment

The horse produces stomach acid continuously.

Under natural conditions, near-continuous forage intake, chewing, and saliva help protect the upper portion of the stomach. Modern feeding and training schedules can interrupt that protection.

Periods without forage, large concentrate meals, transport, intense exercise, and stress may increase digestive pressure.

GUTMATRIX Granules provide ingredients selected to support buffering, mucosal protection, and a more stable upper digestive environment.

The purpose is not to stop normal acid production.

The purpose is to help protect the horse from the consequences of an unstable gastric environment.

The Hindgut Environment

The cecum and large colon contain the microbial populations responsible for fermenting forage.

These organisms function best within a stable environment.

Excess fermentable carbohydrate reaching the hindgut can lower pH and alter microbial activity. This may affect manure consistency, forage digestion, nutrient utilization, comfort, and performance.

GUTMATRIX Granules support a more stable hindgut environment and help maintain the conditions required for normal fiber fermentation.

The Microbial Terrain

Beneficial microorganisms are essential to the horse’s ability to digest forage and produce usable energy.

The goal is not simply to add more organisms.

The goal is to support the terrain in which healthy microbial populations can survive, remain active, and perform their normal digestive functions.

By supporting pH stability, mucosal comfort, and normal fermentation, GUTMATRIX Granules help create a more favorable microbial environment.

What Horses Actually Need

Performance Horses

Performance horses are exposed to exertion, travel, schedule changes, reduced grazing time, concentrated feeds, and competition stress.

For the performance horse, GUTMATRIX Granules support:

Gastric comfort. Hindgut stability. Appetite. Manure consistency. Recovery. Rideability.

Racehorses

Racehorses require high energy intake while training under substantial physical and metabolic demand.

For the racehorse, GUTMATRIX Granules support:

Digestive protection. Feed utilization. Hindgut pH. Microbial resilience. Recovery.

Halter and Conditioning Horses

Halter and conditioning horses often receive dense feeding programs intended to produce body condition and muscular expression.

For these horses, GUTMATRIX Granules support:

Nutrient absorption. Digestive comfort. Condition. Appetite. Feed tolerance.

Horses Under Digestive Pressure

GUTMATRIX Granules may be especially useful for horses experiencing:

• Travel or competition
• Feed and forage changes
• Reduced appetite
• Intermittent loose manure
• Girthiness or abdominal sensitivity
• Concentrated feeding programs
• Heavy training
• Seasonal changes
• Medication or antibiotic use
• Known gastric or hindgut sensitivity
• Difficulty maintaining condition
• Inconsistent performance associated with digestive discomfort

The Formula

Sodium Alginate

Supports the formation of a protective gel-like barrier in the acidic gastric environment.

Calcium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate

Provide buffering support for gastric acidity and digestive pH.

Magnesium Hydroxide

Supports acid buffering while contributing magnesium for normal muscular and cellular function.

Marshmallow Root and Aloe Vera

Traditionally used to support mucosal comfort and the natural protective lining of the digestive tract.

Licorice Root

Supports gastric mucosal integrity and digestive comfort.

Xanthan Gum

Supports the consistency and retention of the protective matrix within the digestive environment.

Alfalfa Meal and Mineral Salt

Provide a practical carrier base along with naturally buffering and mineral-supportive properties.

Feeding Directions

Feed 2 scoops daily with the morning meal.

One scoop provides approximately 15–18 grams.

Each 1000 g container provides approximately a 30-day supply.

During periods of increased digestive pressure, use according to label directions or professional recommendation.

The GUTMATRIX Difference

A horse cannot perform consistently when the digestive environment is unstable.

GUTMATRIX Granules combine buffering, protective, microbial, and hindgut support in one concentrated daily formula.

It is designed to help the horse remain comfortable, absorb nutrients more effectively, maintain a more stable digestive environment, and better tolerate the demands of modern feeding, training, travel, and competition.
