opinions and experiences on hindgut supplements. Looking for what will give me the most bang for my buck. I don't mind spending it, if it works- but the cost of maintenance needs to be somewhat reasonable.

I started using the Smart Gut after my horse dx with ulcers. So far, he's doing awesome. I love the fact there is a $7500 free colic insurance, HOWEVER you have to have it in the Smart Paks to be eligible.

FORCO® products are one of a kind products. They are one of the few pure and all-natural products on the market. They are dependable, stable, and safe. They do not contain live microbial or live-cell yeast due to their perishability and inconsistent performance. They have no carriers or fillers and there are no supplemental vitamins, minerals or proteins like many other digestive products on the market today contain.
Most digestive aid products are effective only in the foregut or early portion of the digestion system. This is especially true of microbial products. FORCO® is unique because it is designed to be effective throughout the entire alimentary system from the mouth through the colon.
This is a critical consideration for horses because its the cecum portion of the hindgut that digests most of the forage fiber (hay and pasture) and carbohydrates where the colon then absorbs and/or synthesizes vitamins, minerals, volatile fatty acids and amino acids. Because it addresses the entire digestive process, horses respond to FORCO® when they do not respond to other digestive aids.
