Vetrogut Soothe & Settle

Vetrogut Soothe & Settle

Encourages the formation of normal droppings. Ideal to soothe & settle the stomach and hind gut. Provides calcium, magnesium, silicon as well as 72 trace minerals. Animalife Vetrogut Soothe & Settle (previously Acid Fix) is ideal for horses experiencing periods of stress or changes in their routine. Creates the perfect pH for your horse to maintain gut balance and reduce the risk of acidosis and stomach ulcerations. Vetrogut Soothe & Settle is a highly efficient equine buffer made from calcareous marine algae. Its honeycomb structure breaks down slowly in the horse to stabilise pH and, as a result, improves the performance and health of your horse.

How does it work?

Vetrogut Soothe & Settle is unique and natural. It contains significant amounts of calcium, magnesium and silicon as well as 72 additional trace minerals complexed together in a structure engineered by the cell wall of the seaweed Lithothamnion species. Vetrogut Soothe & Settle contains a unique trace mineral profile gained from its formation in a marine environment. The elements contained are at trace quantities and are insignificant alone, but within a multi-mineral matrix they work synergistically providing unique and robust bioactivities. Vetrogut Soothe & Settle is a marine-plant, multi-mineral complex, derived from the cytoskeleton of the red seaweed Lithothamnion sp. It is sustainably harvested from the pristine waters off the northern coast of Iceland. Over the course of the seaweed’s life, minerals are accumulated from the seawater, and stored as carbonate salts in the plants cell wall. Calcium and magnesium represent one third and over 2%, respectively of the 74 components in the total dry mass of Vetrogut Soothe & Settle. Vetrogut Soothe & Settle has an intricate and unique 3-dimensional structure moulded by the cell wall of Lithothamnion sp. “ Vetrogut Soothe & Settle differs elementally and structurally from mined minerals ” Harvested from red algae (Lithothamnion) from the sea off the coast of Iceland, Lithothamnion has a honeycomb structure that provides a large surface area of (>10m2) per gram and a slow release of bio-available minerals, calcium, magnesium and silicon. Research shows this has significant buffering action for 4-6 hours under simulated in-vitro stomach digestion conditions and also stimulated in vitro hindgut fermentation activities.
