SUCCEED offers complete digestive support for the horses in your care – naturally. It provides a unique blend of nutrients that are necessary for the health of the entire equine digestive tract despite the challenges inherent in modern care, feeding and competition. SUCCEED includes support for both digestive anatomy (intestinal villi, enterocytes, intestinal mucosa) and digestive function (healthy bacterial balance, digestion, feed transit through the digestive tract, etc.).
30 tubes/box, 27g in each.
Oat Oil
Oat oil is rich in polar lipids, highly beneficial fat molecules that are important for normal digestive health and function. Oats are particularly high in galactolipids, which can only be obtained through the diet. SUCCEED’s oat oil is derived using a proprietary ethane-extraction process that retains a higher concentration of polar lipids. Polar lipids are shown to assist with nutrient absorption, strength and integrity of the intestinal mucosa barrier, and normal brain function.
Oat Flour
The oats used in the production of SUCCEED are different than those used to create most common flours, like those used for baking. Our oats have more bran, which is rich in beta glucan, and a low starch content. Beta glucan has been shown to be useful for maintaining a healthy rate at which food moves through the digestive tract, regulating the release of sugars from the digestive system, and supporting natural immunity.
Yeast Products
SUCCEED contains components of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain of yeast that show benefits for the digestive health of horses. The yeast in SUCCEED is rich in mannan oligosaccharide (MOS), beta glucan, and nucleotides. MOS supports a balanced microflora and a healthy immune system response. Nucleotides are essential to cell growth and repair and help maintain a healthy intestinal tract while beta glucan protects the hindgut.
L-Glutamine
A healthy immune system requires an adequate supply of L-glutamine in order to function properly. Dietary glutamine may be beneficial for horses that are in training, being used for hard work or are otherwise challenged. L-glutamine provides fuel for intestinal epithelial cells (which make up the first layer of the gut lining) and assists with nutrient absorption. It also strengthens and helps to reconstitute the mucosal barrier.1 Glutamine has been shown to be safe at levels up to 60mg/kg bwt and may be of benefit to athletic horses with lowered plasma glutamine concentrations.2
L-Threonine
L-threonine is an essential amino acid necessary for GI tract health. In horses, L-threonine contributes to a smoothly functioning GI tract. It also assists metabolism and nutrient absorption while also contributing to mucus production.
