What is MasticVital and what is it used for?

MasticVital is a high-quality feed supplement for horses and other animals, developed to support healthy digestion, harmonize the intestinal microbiome and strengthen natural immunity. The product contains a unique combination of three scientifically proven ingredients: Chios mastic, inulin and beta-glucans. This synergy ensures comprehensive support for the gastrointestinal tract and immune system of your animals.
What are the main active ingredients and how do they work?

MasticVital contains three key components with proven effects:

  • Mastic - natural resin from Pistacia lentiscus var. chia, which supports the gastric and intestinal mucosa and acts against unwanted bacteria
  • Inulin - a prebiotic fiber from chicory that stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria and supports the production of protective fatty acids
  • Beta-glucans - purified polysaccharides from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that activate the natural immune response
Why is mastic from Chios so special?

Chios mastic is a unique resin obtained exclusively from the Pistacia lentiscus var. chia trees growing on the Greek island of Chios. Its unique chemical composition and biological activity are the result of the specific climatic conditions and soil characteristics of this region. This mastic has proven gastroprotective effects and has been used for centuries to support digestive health.
How is MasticVital administered?

MasticVital is administered as a loose mixture mixed into the feed, ideally in the evening feed. This form of administration ensures optimal absorption of the active ingredients and minimizes the risk of product loss. The mixture can be easily divided into several portions during the day for better tolerance in more sensitive individuals.
What is the recommended dosage and duration of administration?

For optimal results, we recommend continuous administration for a minimum of 4-6 weeks. This period allows for full harmonization of the intestinal microbiome and stabilization of immune functions. Long-term use is not only safe, but often desirable to maintain optimal animal health.
Can I combine MasticVital with other supplements or medications?

MasticVital is compatible with most common feed supplements and veterinary preparations. Thanks to its natural composition, there are no undesirable interactions. In the case of current veterinary treatment, we recommend consulting with the treating veterinarian to optimize the therapeutic protocol.
Is MasticVital safe for sport and racing horses?

Yes, all ingredients in MasticVital comply with FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) rules and are not on the banned substances list. The product can be safely administered to racehorses without the risk of a positive doping test.
What is the quality of the raw materials and the production process?

All raw materials in MasticVital meet the highest quality standards:

  • The mastic comes directly from Chios and is certified for
    pharmaceutical use
  • Inulin is a chicory fiber food/pharmaceutical
    quality
  • Beta-glucans are purified 1,3/1,6-β glucans from controlled
    yeast strains

Production takes place in the EU under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) with rigorous control of each batch for purity and microbiological parameters.
Are there any known side effects?

There are no known side effects when the recommended dosage is followed. MasticVital is very well tolerated due to its natural composition. In particularly sensitive individuals, any mild digestive problems can be minimized by dividing the daily dose into several smaller portions.
When can I expect the first results?

The first positive changes can be observed after 7-14 days of regular use, especially in improving digestion and overall condition. The full effect on the intestinal microbiome and immune system will be visible after 4-6 weeks of continuous use.
How does MasticVital help in stressful situations?

MasticVital significantly supports animals' resistance to stress by stabilizing the intestinal microbiome and strengthening the immune response. Beta-glucans activate natural defense mechanisms, while mastic protects the gastric mucosa from the negative effects of stress hormones.
Is MasticVital suitable for long-term use?

Yes, MasticVital is designed for long-term use. Continuous administration ensures continued support for intestinal health and immunity. The natural composition eliminates the risk of accumulation or tolerance, which is typical of synthetic preparations.
What is the price/performance ratio of MasticVital?

MasticVital is an excellent investment in the health of your animals. Preventive support for digestion and immunity significantly reduces the risk of gastrointestinal problems and infections, leading to savings in veterinary costs and improved animal performance.
How does MasticVital improve feed utilization?

Harmonizing the intestinal environment through the prebiotic effect of inulin and the protective properties of mastic leads to better absorption of nutrients from the feed. This is reflected in improved feed conversion and optimal use of nutritional investments.
Is MasticVital suitable for animals other than horses?

MasticVital and its natural composition and mechanism of action make it suitable for other animal species, especially ruminants and other herbivores. For specific species, we recommend consulting a veterinary specialist.
