Assure® Guard Gold

Assure^® Guard Gold is a digestive maintenance supplement for horses with gastric challenges such as recurrent gastric or colonic ulcers, colic, diarrhea, and sand accumulation. Assure^® Guard Gold supports the entire digestive tract from the stomach through the hindgut with a unique blend of pre and probiotics, psyllium, gastric buffer, digestive enzymes, yeast, and calcium carbonate to restore balance to the digestive tract and prevent future digestive problems. Assure^® Guard Gold delivers fast digestive relief with many owners seeing results in just one week.

Assure^® Guard Gold is the only complete solution for your horse's daily digestive and wellness support needs. It combines the benefits of Assure^® Guard and Assure^® Plus into a complete, daily pelleted formula. This equine digestive supplement is ideal for horses in training, competition or high-stress environments that need relief fast as well as horses suffering from chronic ulcers, colic, sand accumulation, and other digestive issues. Assure^® Guard Gold has no added sugars so it can also be used with horses with metabolic concerns such as Cushings, insulin resistance or Equine Metabolic Syndrome and horses suffering from or at risk of Leaky Gut, the inflammation or breakdown of the hindgut barrier that is often the underlying cause of digestive health problems and metabolic disorders. Research has proven that adding high-quality psyllium to a horse's daily diet can help lower blood glucose and insulin concentration.

Assure^® Guard Gold horse supplement features Gastrointestinal Stabilizing Technology (GST) to ensure that live microbes are protected from the acidic environment of the stomach for safe delivery to the hindgut. The high quality, high purity psyllium in Assure^® Guard Gold has been shown to naturally and effectively increase the production of butyrate. Butyrate, also known as butyric acid, is produced in the hindgut of all horses and is critical to colonocyte health and regeneration, and important in the prevention and reduction of gastrointestinal inflammation.

Instructions: For general digestive maintenance or management of colic, loose stool and other digestive concerns, feed horse 1 ½ level scoops daily per 1,100 lb of body weight or follow dosing chart.
It is recommended to utilize a 6 week loading period when starting Assure Guard Gold to optimize digestive function as quickly as possible. For the loading period, feed the recommended daily dose twice daily with grain meals (i.e. 1 ½ scoops with morning and evening grain). For maintenance, it is recommended that the daily dose be split with grain meals (i.e. ¾ scoop with morning and evening grain).
If your horse does not receive grain, Assure Guard Gold can be given as a "treat" or fed alone at both the loading and maintenance doses.
If palatability issues arise, add small amounts of water, oil or molasses to encourage acceptance.
It is recommended that you consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations prior to adding Assure Guard Gold, or any supplement, to your horse's daily regimen.
