Psyllium monthly supplement

Benefits of Feeding Psyllium

Feeding psyllium to horses offers several benefits, particularly related to digestive health: 

• Sand Accumulation: Psyllium helps to promote sand clearance in the intestines, potentially reducing the risk of blockages and impaction colic
• Hindgut Microbiome: As a soluble fiber, psyllium can support the health of the hindgut by providing a substrate for beneficial microbial fermentation, potentially supporting the hindgut microbiome
• Metabolic Concerns: Psyllium may support normal blood glucose regulation by slowing down the absorption of sugar from the gut, helping to maintain metabolic health in horses with insulin resistance (IR)
• Athletic Performance: Feeding psyllium to competition horses has been shown to support hydration during endurance races and may help reduce the risk of gastric ulcers
