Bio Sponge Powder
Bio-Sponge® is an equine health supplement designed to help support healthy gastrointestinal function in foals and adult horses. This formula has substantial capacity to adsorb toxins, viruses, bacteria and free radicals that can cause diarrhea in the horse.
Bio-Sponge™, an intestinal protectant composed of di-tri-octahedral smectite, may help create an intestinal environment that protects against the harmful effects of microbial overgrowth and toxin production. This is particularly important for neonatal and young foals that are at particular risk due to their immature -- yet developing -- intestinal microflora and immune system. Additionally, Bio-Sponge™ may be beneficial in horses with endotoxemia, post-operative diarrhea, and after toxin ingestion.
Instructions for use
Healthy newborn foals: For best results, following an adequate intake of colostrum administer 3 tablespoons of Bio-Sponge® powder mixed with 30cc of water 6 hours after the foal first nurses the mare. Administer twice daily for 6 days or as directed by your veterinarian.
Newborn Foals with intestinal disturbances: For best results in newborn foals with diarrhea, following an adequate intake of colostrum administer 3 tablespoons of Bio-Sponge® powder mixed with 30cc of water 2-4 times or as directed by your veterinarian. Discontinue use 1 day after intestinal disturbances resolve.
Adult Horses with intestinal disturbances: Administer 97.5g of Bio-Sponge® powder twice daily or as directed by your veterinarian. Amount can be increased in severe cases: administer up to 490g (approx 5 level scoops) powder mixed in 3 liters of water once every 6 to 12 hours until the diarrhea resolves. Amount per dose can be reduced in less severe cases.
* Discontinue if there is no noticeable improvement after 7 days of use.
