Description
100% natural feed supplement for horses with mastic, inulin and beta-glucans
MasticVital HORSE is a highly specialized natural feed supplement in the form of a loose mixture, specially formulated for horses. The product is based on three key ingredients: mastic (natural resin from Pistacia lentiscus var. chia), inulin (prebiotic fiber from chicory) and beta-glucans (polysaccharides from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The recommended dosage is precisely set at 1.6 g per 100 kg of live weight per day, which for an average horse weighing 500 kg represents approximately 8 grams per day.
MASTICH, INULIN AND BETA-GLUCAN IN THE CARE OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM OF HORSES
MasticVital HORSE is a triad of natural substances with complementary effects on the horse's digestive system. Each substance targets a different level of protection, creating a comprehensive preventive and therapeutic system.
MASTIC (CHIOS MASTIC)
- Resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree from the island of Chios
- Active components: α-terpineol, methyl isoeugenol, triterpenes
- Essential oils with antibacterial properties
5 pillars of action:
1. Physical protection - Creates an adhesive film on the gastric mucosa, acts as
"biological patch"
2. Antimicrobial effect - Destroys pathogenic bacteria
3. Acidity regulation - Reduces the free acidity of gastric juices
4. Regenerative potential - Supports the restoration of damaged epithelial cells
5. Anti-inflammatory effect - Suppresses inflammatory processes in the mucous membrane
Practical significance:
- Direct prevention of gastric ulcers in horses
- Acceleration of healing of existing lesions
INULIN
- Fructooligosaccharide - prebiotic
- Sources: chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, agave
- Fermentable in the large intestine, indigestible in the small intestine
6 levels of action:
- Selective microbiota nutrition - Supports the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus
2. Production of SCFA (short chain fatty acids) - Butyrate, propionate, acetate
as an energy substrate
for colonocytes
3. Strengthening the intestinal barrier - Prevention of "leaky gut syndrome"
4. Immunomodulation - 70% of the immune system resides in the intestines
5. pH regulation - Slight acidification unfavorable for pathogens
6. Improved mineral absorption - Increased absorption of Ca, Mg
Practical significance:
- Prevention of colic and diarrhea
- Stabilization of microbiota during stress
- Indirect protection of the entire GI tract
- Preventive action against dysbiosis
BETA-GLUCAN
- Polysaccharides with β-1,3 and β-1,6 glycosidic bonds
- Sources: yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), mushrooms, cereals
- Immunomodulators recognized by pattern-recognition receptors
8 mechanisms of action:
1. Activation of immune cells - Stimulation of macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells
cells
2. Phagocytosis - Increased ability to eliminate pathogens
3. Cytokine cascade - Production of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α for coordinated immune response
response
4. Physical protection - Formation of a viscous layer in the small intestine
5. Tissue regeneration - Acceleration of mucous membrane healing
6. Anti-inflammatory action - Regulation of excessive inflammatory response
7. Antioxidant activity - Reduction of oxidative stress
8. Glycemic stabilization - Slowing glucose absorption
Practical significance:
- Overall immunomodulation
- Support during recovery
- Prevention of infections in horses
- Excellent synergistic effect with other ingredients of the MasticVital product
HORSE
SYNERGIC EFFECT - KEY COOPERATION OF INGREDIENTS
Three-level protection:
1. MASTICHA → Stomach (gate of entry) - direct physical and biochemical protection
2. INULIN → Intestine (middle segment) - microbial homeostasis
3. BETA-GLUCAN → Entire GI tract - immune and regeneration support
KEY HEALTH BENEFITS
1. Comprehensive support for the digestive system
- Ensures stomach comfort and healthy digestion
- Especially important for horses exposed to stress and changes in feed ration
- Supports the regeneration and protection of the gastric and intestinal mucosa
2. Optimizing the gut microbiome
- The prebiotic effect of inulin selectively promotes the growth of beneficial
bacteria (especially Bifidobacterium)
- Creates a favorable intestinal environment
- Production of short fatty acids (butyric, propionic, acetic)
essential for the health of the intestinal mucosa
3. Strengthening natural immunity
- Beta-glucans activate immune cells (macrophages, neutrophils)
- Improves the body's ability to respond to pathogens and stress
- They function as biological modifiers of the immune response
4. Regeneration and protection under stress
- Supports recovery after physical exertion, stress or illness
- Reduces the negative effects of changes in feed ration, transport and racing
loads
- Ideal for sports horses and horses in recovery
5. Better nutrient utilization
- Harmonization of the intestinal environment leads to more efficient absorption
nutrients
- Improved fitness, energy and overall vitality
- Optimization of nutritional intake from the regular feed ration
MECHANISM OF ACTION OF INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS
➢ Mastic
- Provides natural protection of the gastric and intestinal mucosa
- Acts against pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms
- Supports the regeneration and healing of mucosal tissues 4
- Comes from the island of Chios (highest quality)
➢ Inulin
- Prebiotic fiber that supports the growth of beneficial bacteria
- Fermentation in the large intestine produces short-chain fatty acids
