Gastric gel x30
An Aloe vera gel, aluminium phosphate, glutamine and scFOS based gastric protector.
Composition
Description
Reverdy Gastric Gel is a nutritional supplement for horses.
An Aloe vera gel, aluminium phosphate, glutamine and scFOS based gastric protector.
Contributes to limiting acid secretions of the stomach, protecting the cells of the gastric mucosa and stimulating mucus production.
Why using Reverdy Gastric Gel?
- Prevents gastric ulcers.
Can be used at higher doses in the following situations: - Suspicion of gastric ulcers in stressed horses,
- Stressful conditions: transport over long distances, periods of intense training, preparation for the sale ring, etc.,
- Known presence of gastric ulcers, in complement to a suitable diet.
- Diarrhoea in foals under the mother.

Properties
Aloe vera gel contains lectins which inhibit acid secretions of the stomach by acting directly on the parietal cells. The tannins, saponins and flavonoids which it contains may be responsible for its’ protective action on the cells and the anti-inflammatory action on digestive mucosa. Finally aloe vera stimulates mucus production by the glandular cells and improves it’ qualities.
Aluminium phosphate has the ability to cover and line the gastric mucosa. It also has a cytoprotective role: stimulating the production of endogenous prostaglandins which favour the secretion of mucus and bicarbonates, increasing blood flow in the mucosa and decreasing acid secretion.
Glutamine represents an important energy source for fast renewing cells, such as those in the digestive tract. This amino-acid therefore participates in maintaining the integrity of the gastric mucosa and helping heal ulcerous lesions.
As prebiotics, the scFOS support and stabilise the beneficial intestinal flora in the stomach. They therefore contribute to limiting undesirable bacterial fermentations that produce lactic acid and gases, resulting in bloating.
