Spirit of the Horse Ltd.
eqA perfect balance of nature and science, G’s International Formula is a whole-food supplement based on the published research performed on the original G’s Formula. Developed to match pace with the world and FEI views on feeding hemp to horses, G’s International substitutes chia seeds for the hemp meal used in G’s Formula.
G’s International will soon be undergoing the same research as G’s Formula which indicated gut motility, nutrient absorption, and feed digestibility in horses. On-going research also points to a decreased likelihood of fatal colic events, reduced gastric inflammation, and improved stamina.
Unlike the GI products you’re used to feeding, G’s International Formula contains only four organic, non-GMO, human-grade ingredients: cabbage, oat flour, carrots, and chia seeds. No binders, fillers, or preservatives are added, so you can feel good knowing exactly what is going in your horse’s body.
Horses on G’s International tend to look, feel, and perform better in as little as 3-6 weeks, as they heal naturally from the inside out.
Some additional benefits you and your horse might appreciate about G’s Formula are:
WEIGHT REGULATION:
G’s Formula aids horses in digesting what you’re feeding. They are better able to absorb the necessary nutrients, so weight gain/loss occurs naturally without the need for additional high fat feeds, oils, and probiotics.
COLIC PREVENTION:
Gs Formula helps support horses at risk of impaction colic by reducing faecal dry matter and rouleaux formation. Read more about this in our study, published in the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition.
SIMPLIFY YOUR FEEDING PROGRAM:
Many people who were feeding processed feeds and multiple supplements find that G’s Formula streamlines their feeding program and eliminates the need for additional products.
FEWER PHARMACEUTICALS:
Numerous customers have reported that G’s Formula replaced the need for pharmaceutical GI products like omeprazole, GastroGuard, sucralfate, etc… and, improved GI health reduces your vet bills.
IS G’S INTERNATIONAL RIGHT FOR MY HORSE?
No one knows your horse better than you. But diagnosing GI tract issues can be challenging!
SOME SYMPTOMS
ARE OBVIOUS:
- Chronic ulcers & ulcer symptoms
- Recurring colic symptoms
- Bloating, diarrhea, wet/loose manure
OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE
MORE OBSCURE, SUCH AS:
- Very dry manure and/or low water intake
- Lameness and poor hoof quality
- Poor stamina
- Poor coat and dry scurfy skin
BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE BEHAVIORS MAY ALSO INDICATE GI ISSUES?
- Reactivity to grooming, girthing
- Bucking, bolting, refusing, ear pinning under saddle
- Back pain, stiffness, lack of bend (especially to the RIGHT)
- Dull eyes, unhappy demeanor
- An unwilling horse who’s become standoffish & irritable
IF YOU NOTICED THAT BOTH G’S ORIGINAL FORMULA AND G’S INTERNATIONAL ARE ADDRESSING THE SAME GI TRACT ISSUES, IT’S BECAUSE THEY ARE! G’S INTERNATIONAL IS DESIGNED FOR US RESIDENTS AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITORS WHO PREFER TO AVOID FEEDING HEMP.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
G’s International is a hemp-free alternative to G’s Original Formula, which is the first Canadian GI supplement on the market having published research behind it. We intend our next study with the University of Guelph to concentrate on testing G’s International Formula to the same parameters applied to the original G’s Formula.
IN SUMMARY, WE’VE LEARNED THAT THE ORIGINAL G’S FORMULA:
- Improves Gut Motility and Nutrient Absorption
- Reduces Faecal Dry Matter and Increases Water Intake, which Protects Against Impaction Colic
- Promotes GI Tract Healing and Ulcer Prevention with Natural Ingredients
- Improves Blood Viscosity (Reduces Rouleaux Formation)
- Reduces Exercise Fatigue
We expect virtually the same results from G’s International. Stay tuned!
WHAT’S IN THE BUCKET?
Tired of having to ask about the ingredients in those plain brown pellets you’ve been feeding? With G’s International, you’ll never have to wonder because you’ll instantly recognize the ingredients in the bucket.
Bits of cabbage and carrots, whole chia seeds, and the
smell of freshly ground oat flour.
We only use human-grade ingredients which are all organic and non-GMO so go ahead and taste G’s International for yourself!
One bucket contains a 60-day supply for a 500kg (1100lbs) horse fed at 1⁄2 cup twice daily. Highly palatable, simply add G’s International as a top dress to your horse’s regular feed.
YES, THERE REALLY ARE ONLY FOUR INGREDIENTS!
CABBAGE
One of the best sources of amino acids and vitamins linked specifically to supporting a healthy GI tract. Specifically:
- The richest plant source of SMM (S-methylmethionine, aka “Vitamin U”)
- High in the amino acid, L glutamine
- Loaded with the B vitamin, choline
- Excellent source of folate
OAT FLOUR (STONE-MILLED OAT GROATS)
Oat groats (or the oat seeds) are a rich source of beta glucans.
Oats are grown on a kernel. When harvested, the kernels are cleaned and minimally processed to remove the hulls which are high in indigestible fibre.
CARROTS
Who loves carrots more than horses?
They are an excellent source of beta carotene, Vitamin A, folic acid (B9), and antioxidants (phytochemicals) to combat free radical damage from regular metabolism or inflammation.
WHOLE CHIA SEEDS
Chia seeds are easy to feed, have a long shelf life and horses love the taste. More importantly, they are uber-nutritious, bring healing to inflammatory conditions, allergies, and illnesses, calming every cell within a horse’s body.
