Bio-az® Equine - The latest scientific development in pre, pro and post-biotics for high-performing horses
While feeding correctly is critical to ensuring your horses are at their best on race day, if a horse’s microbiome is out of balance, in other words, in dysbiosis, they will not be able to get the full benefit of the carefully selected and managed feeding program that trainers take so much care in preparing.
Crafted to restore balance to your horses’ microbiome, Bio-az® Equine is a scientifically formulated synbiotic, patented blend of Bacillus Subtilis probiotics and postbiotics, organic sprouted yellow pea fibre, organic green banana resistant starch and inulin from chicory root. The all-natural, purposed ingredients in Bio-az® Equine are guaranteed superior quality food grade.
Bio-az® Equine’s ingredients each have a valuable role to play, but when in our precise combination, the benefits for your horse are amplified. Bio-az® Equine captures nature’s intelligence.
Bio-az® Equine is a powerful micro-blend of billions of beneficial probiotics, postbiotics and prebiotics, that support all the beneficial gut flora, giving your horse a balance for wellness.
A horse’s microbiome is its first line of defence and the key to health and vitality. When a horse is suffering from dysbiosis, it is vulnerable to health challenges that may impact race-day performance.
Signs of dysbiosis
- Dull-looking coat and itching
- Increased anxiety, and behaviour issues
- Increased levels of acid
- Acute or chronic loose stools
- Loss of appetite and poor nutrient absorption
- Challenged immune system
The Bacillus subtilis strains in Bio-az® Equine produce menaquinone-7 (Vitamin K2-MK7).
This naturally produced form of Vit K2 acts as a cofactor to activate γ-carboxylation of osteocalcin. MK-7 has shown the highest bioavailability and the most significant effect on OC carboxylation in humans and animals compared to K1 or K2-MK-4.
Osteocalcin is a biomarker for healthy bone metabolism and plays an important role in the prevention of osteoporosis, by facilitating the transportation of calcium to improve bone density.
