Distinguishing itself from the competition, Grand Meadows' entry into the digestive supplement field, Grand Digest, is designed to improve function in all three phases of the equine digestive process. The most comprehensive product on the market, Grand Digest features ingredients targeted to the primary stomach and the small and large intestines. By Addressing the entire digestive system, Grand Digest enables horses to better adapt to their modern life and get the most nutrients from their feed.
 

The primary stomach is the first stop for equine feed. Here, Grand Digest uses a combination of Toxynil-Plus(TM) and Zeolytes to bind and neutralize mycotoxins. Mold and bacteria, from spoiled feed, for example, are among the contaminants that are then swept harmlessly out of the system.
 

Next is the workhorse, the small intestine, where 80 to 90 percent of the fats, amino acids and vitamins are absorbed. Grand Digest's Multizyme(TM) enhances the enzymatic breakdown of nutrients. The addition of the glutamine causes the intestinal villi to grow, improving their ability to absorb and carry nutrients. The addition of glutamine causes the intestinal villi to grow, improving their ability to absorb and carry nutrients into the bloodstream. Villi are nodules that line the intestinal walls. The more surface area they cover, the more nutrients can pass through.
 

The final phase of digestion takes place in the large intestine, often called the "hind gut." Here, Grand Digest's combination of fungi called Aspergillus Oryzae and Diamond V Yeast (TM) boosts the breakdown of more fibrous feed and stabilizes the PH. This reduces the risk of ccolic and improves the function of the immune system. Shelf-stable Diamond V Yeast is a key component. Unlike yeasts used in other digestive products, this shelf-stable "pre-biotic" is not compromised by exposure to oxygen and heat. It is perfect food for the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine.
 

"Grand Digest made a dramatic difference in our top competition horse, improving his condition and eliminating his mild colic symptoms," reports California horse owner Carolina White. "It helps keep all our horses fit, with a good attitude, and it protects them against serious digestive complications such as weight loss, ulcers and colic."
