What's the difference between Kelato’s popular equine gut health products, GastroAID Everyday & GastroAID Recovery? 🤔

GastroAID Recovery targets both foregut and hindgut health. Supporting optimal digestive health and function in horses under stress. GastroAID Recovery provides the key “alkaline slime” ingredients that help buffer gut pH and promote healthy gut mucosa. ❤️‍🩹

GastroAID Everyday is formulated to maintain optimal total gut health and function of the digestive tract. GastroAID Everyday stabilises gut pH, strengthens gut mucosa, supports the immune system and promotes beneficial microbes. 💪🩺
