On reaching the large intestine Max Gut-Health promotes the growth of beneficial gut flora that are essential to good gut wellbeing.
The most important job is to keep the good bacteria in the hind gut prolific and abundant, this allows the bacteria to be able to break down fibre efficiently and absorb nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.

I would love to give you feedback on the Max Gut Health and the Max Calmer.
I had to move all 7 of my horses to our new farm in Bronkhorstspruit in December 2024. They are all different ages ranging from 6 months to 15 years old. I bred all of them so they have been with me since birth at the same plot in Pretoria.
The move has been extremely traumatizing to all, even though they have a lot more space, better/nicer stables and huge paddocks during the day. They have the same groom, the same everything they had at our previous yard, I even moved the walker.
None the less, they were all very stressed, very clingy to one another, they would get separation anxiety if I tried to move one of them to another paddock or even go on a ride with one. They all would scream so much if they lost sight of one another.
So I do endurance riding and in mid February 2025 (this is now 2.5 months after the move to the new place) we went for our first ride of the season. I took 3 horses and all 3 were unmanageable at the pre-start vetcheck. They would stand on their hind legs (something that they have never ever done before), they would not stand still for the vet to check their heart rates and their heart rates were sky high. It was a total disaster to get on any of them the next morning before the start of our 40km. I even fell before the start, as my mare was so stressed, sweating profusely and fidgeting, again standing on her hind legs. It was really a bad situation.
My eldest horse, the 15 year old gelding that is usually very calm at home even gashed open his chest in the paddock that he had to get more than 15 stitches because he was pacing up and down the fence.
So after this ride, I decided that I had to do something because none of them are coping and they are struggling to get used to the new farm and surroundings. I ordered Max Gut Health and Max calmer (I got your details from Tammy at Western Shoppe)
I started all 4 of my riding horses on both products in the last week of February 2025. So they have been on the products for 3 – 4 weeks.
We had our next 80km endurance ride last weekend at Waterberg 21 and 22 March 2025. Again I took the same 3 horses to the ride. I rode one on the Friday and the other 2 rode on Saturday with me and a friend.
All were calm and focussed at the pre-vet checks…no standing on the hind legs. I got on in the morning with no stress. They all completed the 80km and the whole way through they were calm and focussed. We still have a bit of issues with the separation anxiety, but it is much much better.
I want to thank you for the amazing product, because that is the only change I made and it saved me/us.
I was about to give up on the endurance rides for a while until they calmed down. I will keep on giving both products for another month or two and then I guess I will just move to the max gut.
I really made the difference for me!!!
Thank you

Max Gut Health is worth every cent! I struggled with my horse’s condition and muscle tone for years despite him eating like a racehorse. I put him on Max Gut Health just over a month ago and i am actually blown away by the results. It has fixed whatever was wrong with his gut. I know your horse may have a different issue, but I think it is worth trying with yours.

I adore your products!
The thing that shocked me the most is that Queens mind actually changed, she’s more focused and calmer, and she’s stayed in good condition where in the past her condition would drop after the long shows likes Presidents Cup.
Absolutely magical! 💚She’s doing great thanks! Her condition has been so consistent since she’s been on MGH! She’s got dapples all over her tummy! (16.10.2025)

Maxgut is just amazing!!! Started Sokkies on it a month ago… Poor boy was not looking good when he came off the track wouldn’t go forward when ridden (ulcers)…bad feet…tried everything, including lots and lots of fodder, 4 kgs hard food per day, ample grazing available 24/7, teeth done, dewormed.
Started him on Maxgut…was amazed!!!
A difference in the first week! And what a difference after a month.
What a wonderful product! He is building muscle now. Has a great coat. Feet improving. He is just loving life! (8.10.25)
Karen Rowe (22.09.25) –
Absolutely outstanding products! The gut health product changed my pony’s life and so I started him on the joint supplement and it’s also incredible. He’s now on the hoof one too! The other two ponies I have are now also on the gut and joint supplement. By far the best products on the market and the best customer service from a company I have ever experienced. (22.09.25)

I own a retirement livery yard and one of the veterans in my care has been struggling to keep weight on, he came from an environment where he was fed high concentrate diet and has struggled to adapt to a more natural diet. He has definitely improved in weight holding within 2 weeks of starting Max gut, it will be interesting to see if this can help through the hot, dry summer months, which is when he invariably struggles. Thank you for great service too from max gut team

My daughter’s pony has been stopping at shows for the last year and she started stopping during lessons this year. We had her checked out by a vet, had X-rays done of joints, checked and rechecked saddle, had physio and chiro session – everything! Started with max gut health and in 6 weeks she’s a different pony! Not only is she clearing, but she is consistently getting ribbons! We couldn’t be happier with the results!

This is why I love Max Guy Health! Elsa has always struggled with her weight, muscle tone, as well as ulcers. Since starting to use Max Gut Health we have seen a huge improvement in her wellbeing, her body and especially her girthy-ness, which is something we really have struggled with.

MGH has helped my horse so much!
@jennagilchrist_eq ( 20 Feb 2025) –
I have always been very vigilant about my horses well fare , especially gut. But somehow I was not quite satisfied with what I was using , until I have found this little Gem- Maximum Gut Health. First, I only was familiar with the gut range until I learned about the rest. Thank you MGH for caring and providing us with nothing but the best!
Farnham Stables SA ( 21 Feb 2025) –
I’m now in my 3rd year of my max gut health journey with my horses … the sport horses are all doing so well on it. They are absolutely happier & their coats gleam. Often too I’ve been able to reduce the amount of concentrates fed as their digestion must have been improved. It’s also been a vital part of my broodmares diet during pregnancy and during lactation. So we decided last year to chuck the bucket, in preference for a 25kg sack for the yard, as our number of horses flourishing on the product had increased so much.

My horses are loose and elastic in their bodies, and calm and settled in their minds. Maximum Gut Health is a wonderful compliment to my Capstone feed!

🌿 Why I choose Maximum Gut Health for Okinawa 🌿
My horses wellbeing is my top priority. I want him to feel his best every day, healthy, comfortable, and ready to perform.
That’s why I trust MGH. It helps support his digestive system and overall wellbeing. Since using it, I’ve seen him more comfortable, happier in himself, and looking fantastic. His condition speaks for itself.
I use it because I see and feel the difference in him every day. ”

“ Carlson 113 and all of my other top Junior Open SJ competition horses are maintained daily on Max Gut Health throughout the year. This product is incredible and has become the gold standard of probiotic supplementation in my private stable yard at home. I have seen miraculous results across my string of horses and I tell everyone I can about this product. I have babies being produced alongside middle aged horses at the top of their game and even my retired Open Pony on this product daily. It works for all Horses in all levels of work or rest and across any discipline. All my horses look and feel incredible and I can rest easy knowing their guts are functionally optimally at all times!”

🎉 From Bucking Bronco to Champion: Lady’s Transformation Story 🐴
Meet Lady, a pony whose separation anxiety once made every ride a challenge. Her young rider faced constant falls, bruises, and even regular doctors visits. Despite thorough vet checks full x-rays, chiropractor visit , dental care, and feed adjustments ,Tack being fitted and changed absolutely everything was ruled out. Lady’s anxiety persisted she has severe herd separation and would do anything to get out of work and back to her friends.
Enter Max Gut Health and Max Calmer.
Within just days of starting Max Gut Health and Max Calmer, Lady began to show remarkable changes a 3 weeks later at her first show post-supplementation, she was calm, focused, and performed flawlessly, securing two first-place prizes with scores over 70%! No bucking, no rearing, just a composed pony and a confident young rider.
These results weren’t achieved overnight. They came after ruling out all other possibilities and ensuring Lady’s overall health was in check. The combination of Max Gut Health and Max Calmer provided the final piece of the puzzle, bringing peace to both pony and rider.
Experience the difference today!

Dear Tess. A quick note – my 16ur old TB gelding now weeks 4 on MGH, building topline after a loss of condition from Dec to March due to lack of work (1500ml rain) and change of feed. Full winter coat and look at that metallic gold shine, like liquid gold. Noted he is less spooky, and more energetic.
I am an equine sports massage therapist and. I have felt a difference in the horses of clients I treat before and after MGH. It is significant. Ranges from improved skin suppleness to muscle development and less reactivity for the sensitive horses.

This product has been absolutely incredible to help my Friesian horse regain full condition since moving him away from a previous yard owner who claimed to be an expert at nutrition but had him end up with serious malnutrition in her care, and most importantly, he ended up with colic 3 times in the space of 2 years, which he has never had before in his life of 15 years prior to that. Since being on Max Hut Health, along with other nutritional products, his physical condition turned around 100% with no signs of colic over the last 6 months.
