Situations Stress Paste is ideal forUpdated a year ago

There are so many ways to use Stress Paste.  Below we share the three major stress events for horses, and where Stress Paste can help.


TRAVEL

Travel is stressful, especially for long distances or for the first time. A confined, hot and unpredictable environment and time off feed can lead to poor gut health (such as gastric ulcers) and lacklustre performance. Use Stress Paste prior to, during and/or after travel to reduce the impact of travel on gut health. Stress Paste also helps maintain appetite and muscle energy on arrival.



PERFORM

Competition environments can be unpredictable with periods of time off feed, creating stress. Heat stress and high performance can lead to leaky gut and inflammation. To keep your horse focused on his work ahead, feed Stress Paste before, during and after exercise so the gut is protected, and filled with the vitamins needed to cope with heat, support muscles and generate energy.



RECOVER

Travel, performance and illness can take a toll on gut health. Use Stress Paste for your horse’s recovery so that appetite is strong, gut function is supported, vitamin and antioxidants levels remain high, and your horse is ready to compete again.

As always, seek veterinary advice when concerned about your horse’s health.
