The Protexin Equine Gut Sponge helps by providing a palatable, peppermint-flavored supplement with prebiotics, fiber, and essential nutrients. However, it's important to note that results may vary depending on the individual horse's condition and existing diet. This supplement aids in safe calorie provision, supports healthy bacteria growth, and nourishes the gut lining with a blend of psyllium husks, bentonite, and linseed.
