Key Ingredients and Benefits ### Oils and Fats - **Soybean Oil**: Included as a source of essential fatty acids, particularly omega-6, to support coat shine, energy levels, and overall skin health in horses. It helps with weight gain and provides calories without excess starch, making it ideal for performance horses or those needing extra condition. - **Flax Oil**: Added for its high omega-3 content to promote anti-inflammatory effects, support joint health, and improve coat quality. It's beneficial for horses prone to inflammation or those on high-grain diets, helping balance fatty acid ratios for better overall wellness. - **Wheat Germ Oil**: Incorporated for its natural vitamin E and fatty acids to act as an antioxidant, supporting immune function and muscle recovery. It benefits horses in training by aiding metabolic health and providing shine to the coat. ### Minerals - **Magnesium Oxide**: Used to support muscle relaxation and calm behavior in horses, helping manage stress and excitability. It aids in bone health, electrolyte balance, and can prevent issues like tying-up in performance animals. - **Salt** (Sodium Chloride): Essential for maintaining hydration, electrolyte balance, and nerve function, especially in working horses that sweat heavily. It encourages water intake and supports muscle contractions during exercise. - **Calcium Carbonate**: Provides calcium for strong bones and teeth, supporting skeletal health in growing or performance horses. It works with phosphorus to maintain proper ratios, aiding in muscle function and preventing deficiencies. - **Dicalcium Phosphate**: Supplies both calcium and phosphorus to promote bone density and energy metabolism. It's crucial for young horses, broodmares, and those in heavy work to support structural integrity and prevent imbalances. - **Potassium Chloride**: Helps regulate fluid balance and muscle function, preventing cramps in athletic horses. It's vital for those on forage-based diets to maintain heart rhythm and overall electrolyte harmony. ### Additives and Flavors - **Silicon Dioxide**: Acts as an anti-caking agent to keep the supplement free-flowing and stable. While primarily functional, trace silicon may support connective tissue and bone health in horses. - **Sugar**: Included for quick energy and to enhance palatability, making the supplement more appealing to picky eaters. It aids in binding ingredients and supports fermentation in the gut for better digestion. - **Sorbitan Monostearate**: Functions as an emulsifier to blend oils and other components evenly, ensuring consistent texture and stability in the paste or powder form. - **Carob Bean Powder**: Provides natural fiber and antioxidants to support digestive health and blood sugar balance. It's gentle on the gut, helping reduce diarrhea and promote satiety in horses. - **Apple Flavor**: Added to improve taste and encourage consumption, especially in stressed or finicky horses, without adding significant calories. ### Vitamins and Preservatives - **Vitamin E Supplement**: Essential as an antioxidant to protect muscles and nerves from oxidative stress during exercise or stress. It supports immune health, recovery, and prevents conditions like tying-up in performance horses. - **Mixed Tocopherols (preservative)**: Natural preservatives from vitamin E forms that prevent oxidation and extend shelf life. They also provide antioxidant benefits, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation in horses. ### Yeasts and Prebiotics - **Active Dried Yeast**: A probiotic yeast that enhances fiber digestion in the hindgut, supporting energy extraction from forage. It helps stabilize gut pH, reducing acidosis risk in horses on high-starch diets. - **Brewers Dried Yeast**: Supplies B vitamins and amino acids to promote gut health, muscle development, and coat shine. It supports beneficial bacteria, aiding digestion and reducing behavioral issues in stressed horses. - **Yeast Extract**: Provides metabolites to stimulate beneficial gut bacteria, improving nutrient absorption and immune function. It's useful for horses recovering from illness or under stress. - **Hydrolyzed Yeast**: Breaks down to release nutrients that support hindgut fermentation and microbial balance, enhancing feed efficiency in performance horses. - **Inulin**: A prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial hindgut bacteria, promoting microbiome health and reducing inflammation. It supports digestion, immunity, and can help prevent colic in horses on variable diets. ### Grains - **Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles**: Offers concentrated protein, fiber, and fat for energy and muscle support. It's an economical way to boost calories and nutrients in horses needing weight gain or hindgut stability. ### Probiotics (Dried Fermentation Products) - **Dried Propionibacterium shermanii Fermentation Product**: Supports hindgut fermentation by producing beneficial acids, aiding in nutrient absorption and pH balance for horses prone to digestive upset. - **Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Product**: Promotes a healthy microbiome, reducing diarrhea and improving immunity in foals and stressed horses. It helps compete with pathogens for better gut stability. - **Dried Bacillus licheniformis Fermentation Product**: Enhances fiber digestion and enzyme production, supporting hindgut health and reducing colic risk in horses on forage diets. - **Dried Bacillus subtilis Fermentation Product**: Boosts immune response and pathogen resistance, aiding recovery from enterocolitis and maintaining gut balance during travel or competition. - **Dried Pediococcus pentosaceus Fermentation Product**: Improves lactic acid utilization, stabilizing hindgut pH and enhancing performance in athletic horses by reducing fatigue. - **Dried Lactobacillus casei Fermentation Product**: Supports microbiome diversity, reducing Salmonella shedding and aiding in colic prevention for hospitalized or traveling horses. - **Dried Lactobacillus plantarum Fermentation Product**: Enhances starch digestion, attenuating pH drops to prevent hindgut acidosis in grain-fed horses. - **Dried Lactobacillus lactis Fermentation Product**: Contributes to immune modulation and gut barrier strength, supporting overall health in breeding or young horses. - **Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Product**: Reduces pathogen growth, improving diarrhea recovery and nutrient uptake in foals and adult horses. ### Enzymes (Dried Fermentation Extracts) - **Dried Trichoderma longibrachiatum Fermentation Extract**: Produces enzymes to break down fibers, improving digestibility and gut balance in horses on roughage. - **Dried Aspergillus niger Fermentation Extract**: Supplies enzymes for better nutrient breakdown, supporting energy extraction and reducing waste in feed. - **Dried Aspergillus oryzae Fermentation Extract**: Enhances fiber and starch digestion, maintaining pH and increasing fatty acid production for hindgut health. - **Dried Bacillus amyloliquifaciens Fermentation Extract**: Provides enzymes to improve protein and fiber utilization, promoting growth and reducing inflammation in performance horses. Victory Equine Gastro/Calm Paste delivers complete stress- support from the inside out—calming the mind while protecting the gut. Ideal for performance horses, finicky eaters, and horses prone to digestive or stress-related issues, this super-formula provides confidence, comfort, and consistency when it matters most.
