The patented fermentation of turmeric in Fermeric® converts the active curcuminoids (including curcumin) into their highly bioavailable metabolites: tetrahydrocurcuminoids. In fact, tetrahydrocurcuminoids are considered the most bioactive metabolites of curcumin. 13 Food additives, specifically polysorbate 80, carboxymethylcellulose, sodium benzoate, sodium nitrate, and potassium sorbate have been shown to negatively affect the gut microbiome by creating an imbalance in the beneficial and pathogenic bacterial colonies. 2Answer: Ryegrass (Lolium spp.) is a common pasture grass of good nutritional value. The problem common to ryegrass, wild grasses, wheat and barley is Ergot (Claviceps spp.). Ergot is a fungal biotoxin found growing on grain or grass seeds especially during the late summer/early autumn months. Ergot constricts the arterioles supplying the tissues with fresh blood (vaso-constrictive) resulting in lameness, gangrene, dead tissue, abortion etc. Secondly, ergot can ferment into lysergic acid (LSD) under ideal conditions, (the LSD of the sixties was a derivative of ergot man made) which will cause hyperexcitability, convulsions and inco-ordination. Severity of symptoms will depend on the amount of infected grass seed ingested.

Some of the beta-test horses with long-standing issues like fecal water syndrome took more time on Hedgerow GI to see results; it was several weeks until improvements were seen. Several high-performance horses who were ulcer sensitive showed improvements in performance and attitude within a few days.Horses usually relish the taste of this versatile herb. Comfreyhas a reputation for healing bone damage, such as sore shins, chipped knees, stress fractures (about 40 leaves of white comfrey and at least one cleaned root a day is recommended) and arthritis (three large leaves of pink comfrey a day), as wellas tendon strains. The gut microbiota is a key player in the gut-brain axis. Stress can alter intestinal mucosa permeability as well as alter the microbiome community structure in the gut. This imbalance in the gut can affect neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Some studies indicate heightened anxiety and depression can result from changes in gut permeability and microbial composition. 8 Hedgerow GI Stress, as we know, plays a huge role in upsetting the balance of the GI tract and corresponding body systems. Cordyceps sinensis provides important stress support, is effective at balancing the immune system, supports oxygen utilization, and supports the liver and kidneys.

Your 'herbal mix' for growing (either in hedgerows or your herb garden) could include, but not be limited to, the following herbs: DE-111® is a patented strain of B. subtilis with over 30 published studies on its efficacy and actions in the GI tract, which include: crowding out bacterial pathogens to support colonies of beneficial bacteria, maintaining the gut barrier’s function, supporting the immune system through modulation, optimizing nutrient absorption, and helping reduce irregularities of intestinal disturbances such as gas, hard stools, and diarrhea. 9 BioStar’s Hedgerow GI is the first equine supplement to provide DE-111®. Giving him the herb Hops allows him to calm down mentally, and to become focused. In this balanced state, the Hops horse will be able to concentrate on the job at hand, and given the right direction he can shine in his chosen field.Stressors on the GI tract can upset the orchestra’s ecosystem, resulting in imbalance and health issues: Water is a particularly important consideration in the wintertime and especially for the stabled horse. Adequate hydration is essential for normal digestion and how the food moves along the gut. Limited water intake can increase the risk of impaction colic.
