Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Science Supplements Gut Balancer InstaFix Syringe - 60g

Season:SS23

Brand:Science Supplements

Code:100059

  • Highly concentrated Prebiotic and Probiotic paste
  • Guaranteed to deliver the highest levels of Pre and Probiotics compared to any other paste
  • For use when hindgut support is needed, such as change of diet, stress or worming
  • Suitable for foals and mature horses and ponies

What is it?
Gut BalancerINSTAFIX™ is a highly concentrated Prebiotic and Probiotic paste that works rapidly to re-establish the horses’ normal gut function. For use in times of stress or change, including travelling, worming, vaccination, hard training, diet change, forage change, spring grass, competition and antibiotic treatment. Suitable for foals and mature horses and ponies.
Gut BalancerINSTAFIX™ is guaranteed to deliver the highest levels of Pre and Probiotics compared to any other paste.
What’s in it?
A highly concentrated protected probiotic and prebiotic paste with MOS (Mannan oligosaccharides) and Beta-glucans to help maintain normal digestive function.
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae When feeding live yeast-based probiotics to horses it is essential that they are fed in a form which protects them from stomach acid so they reach the hindgut alive. We use a protected live yeast, which is capable of withstanding acidic conditions, but will then be broken down in the hindgut releasing the live yeast. Supplementing encapsulated live yeast can have the following benefits for horses:
1. Supporting microflora in the caecum (hindgut)
2. Improved fibre digestion
3. Limiting the overproduction of lactic acid in the caecum
4. Improved body condition
We have carried out a number of clinical trials using encapsulated live yeast in horses. These studies looked at its use in combination with prebiotics.

MOS & Beta-glucans MOS and Beta-glucans are prebiotics, which means they create beneficial effects for resident microbes within the digestive tract. MOS is a large molecule which binds toxins produced by “bad” bacteria. Beta-glucans are able to interact with the immune system found in the digestive tract and stimulate it to improve its defence mechanisms. Research has been performed on these ingredients in the production animal sector as follows:
