Description:
HorseFlex Psyllium – 100% Whole Psyllium Seeds (Plantago ovata)
HorseFlex Psyllium is a natural feed material made from 100% pure, whole psyllium seeds (Plantago ovata). It is specially formulated to support healthy digestion and promote the natural elimination of sand from the gastrointestinal tract.
When moistened, psyllium seeds form a sticky, gel-like substance in the intestines. This gel binds to sand and other debris, helping to flush them safely out of the digestive system. This makes HorseFlex Psyllium particularly suitable for horses kept on bare meadows or paddocks, where sand ingestion is more likely.

Why Do Horses Eat Sand?
Horses often ingest sand unintentionally while grazing or eating hay placed directly on sandy ground. In some cases, excessive sand consumption can be linked to a mineral deficiency, immune system imbalance, or seasonal changes such as shedding. Ingested sand that is not properly excreted can accumulate and cause serious digestive issues. Identifying and addressing the cause of sand ingestion is essential, along with supporting intestinal health through targeted supplementation like psyllium.
