Hygain Safeguard EQ is a scientifically formulated digestive support supplement designed to maintain a healthy hindgut environment in horses.

Modern feeding practices—particularly high-grain diets—can disrupt the natural balance of the horse’s digestive system, leading to hindgut acidosis, poor nutrient absorption, and behavioural changes. Safeguard EQ works to buffer excess acidity, supporting optimal pH levels and improving overall gut function.

Ideal for performance horses, racehorses, and horses on concentrated diets, this supplement helps maintain digestive stability while supporting health, condition, and performance.

🟩 Key Benefits

• ✔ Helps buffer hindgut acidity
• ✔ Supports healthy digestion & nutrient absorption
• ✔ Reduces risk of hindgut acidosis
• ✔ Assists in maintaining gut integrity & function
• ✔ Ideal for horses on grain-rich or high-performance diets
• ✔ May improve behaviour linked to gut discomfort

🟩 Detailed Description

The horse’s hindgut plays a critical role in fermenting fibre and absorbing nutrients. When excess starch reaches the hindgut—commonly from grain-heavy diets—it can ferment rapidly, producing lactic acid and lowering pH levels. This condition, known as hindgut acidosis, can lead to:

• Digestive upset
• Loose manure
• Reduced feed efficiency
• Behavioural issues such as irritability or sensitivity
• Poor performance

Hygain Safeguard EQ contains buffering agents and digestive support ingredients that help neutralise acidity and promote a stable gut environment. By maintaining proper pH levels, it supports beneficial bacteria, enhances fibre digestion, and improves overall gut health.

This makes it an essential addition for:

• Performance and racehorses
• Horses on high-concentrate diets
• Horses prone to digestive disturbances
• Horses showing signs of gut discomfort or behavioural changes
