Starting Gate Nutritional Granules is a natural food additive that optimizes nutritional absorption for better health. It works by nutritionally strengthening the epithelial tissue that lines the gastro-intestinal tract. The Granules have shown to reverse / prevent equine gastric ulcers which are reported to exist in 80% of race horses and 56% of non-race horses.  Research has show that mixed phospholipids like those found in Starting Gate Nutritional Granules, strengthen the cell membranes of the digestive tract and acts as a short term barrier to acid in the fundic portion of the stomach.

Item 404, 4.125 lbs (1.1 Gallon Jug)

Starting Gate is now available in a smaller 1.1 gallon travel size that is easier to store away than the standard 5 gallon pail when traveling, and can stay fresher longer.  It is a generally accepted theory that stress on horses being transported can induce symptoms of gastric ulcers.  Starting Gate Granules are a safe & inexpensive natural alternative to acid blocking drugs when transporting horses for short term trips. 

Estimates are that 80% of race horses and 56% of non-competitive horses have gastric Equine ulcers.  Concentrated feedings of stalled horses and competitive horses inadvertently contribute to ulcer formation by allowing excess acid to accumulate in the fund portion of the stomach. This area has a phospholipid rich protective epithelial layer. Imposed feed deprivation can often result in erosion and ulceration. 

The palatability of Starting Gate Granules on horses is excellent.  However, customers with horses that are finicky eaters may prefer to test the palatability of the product with a gallon before ordering larger quantities.  Starting Gate Granules have also been shown to be an excellent way to wean horses off of acid blocking drugs as the stomach lining gets stronger.

Item 404, 4.125 LBS (1.1 Gallon Jug) is approximately a 3 week supply for 1000 LB horse.
