FAQ

My horses sometimes consume sand and other things that aren’t good for them. What can I do to ease the resulting digestive distress?

Equine Enteric Colloid is a gentle, enteric formulation specifically designed for horses that habitually consume abnormal or excessive amounts of sand and other indigestible materials. It is made from a powdered, natural psyllium fiber colloid that promotes improved digestive health.

How is this product different from other psyllium products?

Made from the finest psyllium seeds and husks to provide quick-acting lubrication in a finely ground form, the ground, powdery form allows multiple uses; easily absorbable for veterinarian use via nasal tube or highly palatable for owners to use on a regular basis. Either way, your horse is being treated with a psyllium source that is safe and effective, the one most veterinarians recommend and trust.

How would Equine Enteric Colloid help my horses?

When consumed, this natural colloid forms a mucilaginous, lubricating, dispersable film as it comes in contact with the liquid ingesta of the digestive tract. Equine Enteric Colloid promotes digestive tract lubrication with a quick stool-softening action.

How can we reduce the occurrence of sand colic?

To help reduce the occurrences of sand colic it is important to provide adequate amounts of fiber, fresh water, and help restore proper nutrient absorption. We’ve developed a Sand Colic Protocol that outlines a monthly program to help restore gut health and minimize the negative nutritional effects of colic.
