Marine Calcium (digestive buffer)

A Powerful Ant-Acid and Natural Source of Bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium.

The active ingredients reside in the calcified skeleton of red sea weed (Lithothamnion
calcareum) which grew in the pollution free, mineral rich waters of Iceland and southwestern Ireland.

Ant-acids are used routinely in the diet of active performance horses (racing, eventing, showing or western) to help alleviate the irritation caused by stomach ulcers. Stomach ulcers usually occur in the non-glandular mucosa of the stomach, which lacks adequate protection against the harmful effects of stomach acids.

It is estimated that 25 to 50% of foals and 60 to 90% of adult horses have Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome. Ulcers are painful for horses and can result in aggressive or nervous behavior, unpredictable performance and are responsible for large economic losses to the equine industry.

Marine Calcium for horses sustains and maintains a higher pH over a prolonged period, resulting in as much as twice the level of acid being buffered, compared to the traditional buffer sodium bicarbonate.

The open and porous structure of marine calcium for horses provides a high surface area (> 280 square yards per ounce) to volume ratio allowing for greater contact with the digestive juices in the stomach than calcium carbonate. 

The high bioavailability of the calcium and magnesium improves the absorption of these essential minerals for healthy skeletal growth, development and maintenance. Calcium is
also essential for proper muscle integrity and function.
