Fast-acting and effective, Assure Guard Gold combines our proven pairing of Assure Guard and Assure Plus into a complete, daily pelleted formula.
Chronic digestive issues? Leaky gut? Poor body condition? Looking to improve your horse’s overall wellness or performance? Look no further than Assure Guard Gold - the Ultimate Equine Digestive Aid.
60 to 70 percent of a horse’s immune function comes from digestive health. Horses struggling with acute or chronic digestive problems suffer poor overall wellness, decreased performance and continual discomfort. The demanding lifestyle of equine athletes makes them susceptible to a wide range of digestive issues.
Assure Guard Gold is the only complete solution for your horse’s daily digestive and wellness support needs. It helps maintain a healthy digestive system for all types of horses, including performance. With no added sugars, Assure Guard Gold is the digestive and equine ulcer supplement of choice for horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome. Research has proven that adding high-quality psyllium to a horse’s daily diet can help lower blood glucose and insulin concentration.
Arenus is proud to offer Assure Guard Gold as the ultimate equine digestive aid for your horse’s digestive health needs.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT ASSURE OPTION FOR YOUR HORSE
- Horses in training, competition or high-stress environments that need relief fast.
- Horses suffering from chronic ulcers, colic, diarrhea, sand accumulation, and other digestive issues.
- Horses with metabolic concerns such as Cushings, insulin resistance or Equine Metabolic Syndrome.
- Horses suffering from or at risk of Leaky Gut, the inflammation or breakdown of the hindgut barrier. Leaky Gut is often the underlying cause of digestive health problems and metabolic disorders.
- Owners that are ready for an all-in-one solution for any horse’s digestive health.
KEY BENEFITS
- Fast digestive ailment relief: Assure Guard Gold packs a powerful punch and delivers fast digestive relief. Many owners see results in just one week!
- Enhanced performance and wellness: You don’t know how much of your horse you’ve lost to digestive health issues until you’ve addressed the problem. Having a calm and happy digestive system keeps your horse at the top of their game.
- Total digestive support: Assure Guard Gold works to support the entire digestive tract from the stomach through the hindgut. You can trust that your horse’s total digestive health is being supported for optimal function.
- All-in-one digestive aid: A single ingredient won’t fix a horse’s digestive system. It takes the right combination to ensure proper digestive health. Assure Guard Gold combines our proven pairing of Assure Guard and Assure Plus into an all-in-one digestive aid. It’s the only product on the market that blends the quality ingredients necessary for a complete, daily solution.
FEATURES
- Proprietary psyllium process: Psyllium keeps your horse’s digestive tract clean and healthy. But most psyllium products are highly-processed using an inferior, high-heat steam method. Arenus uses psyllium in its original, flake form and makes use of a proprietary pelleting process. This ensures psyllium stays in the correct form to provide maximum benefits to the hindgut.
- Patented delivery system: Delivers a higher dose of microbes to the hindgut than any other product on the market with special enteric coated pellets.
- Powerful ingredient combination: It contains a unique blend of pre and probiotics, psyllium, gastric buffer, digestive enzymes, yeast, and calcium carbonate to restore balance to the digestive tract and prevent future digestive problems.
- Replenishing action: Typical ulcer medications can slow acid production and cause naturally occurring digestive enzymes to die off. This can allow undigested feedstuff to move through the digestive tract causing hindgut ulcers or perpetuating the occurrence of gastric ulcers. Adding a quality ulcer supplement like Assure Guard Gold can ensure your horse’s digestive tract is constantly replenished with microbes and maintains optimal function.
- Safe and simple system: Set and forget your digestive health protocol. Once you have taken care of your horse’s digestive problem you can keep using Assure Guard Gold for effective, daily maintenance.
- Clinically proven formula: The research-backed and veterinarian approved formula is proven to relieve ulcers, colic, diarrhea, weight loss and more. Assure Guard Gold is recommended most often by veterinarians for their most challenging digestive health cases.
- Butyrate: Butyric acid, also known as butyrate, is a critical volatile fatty acid (VFA) produced in the hindgut of all horses. The high quality, high purity psyllium in Assure Guard Gold undergoes special processing to create concentrated, powerful pellets that naturally and effectively increase the production of butyrate. Butyrate is critical to colonocyte health and regeneration, and important in the prevention and reduction of gastrointestinal inflammation.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For general digestive maintenance or management of colic, loose stool and other digestive concerns, feed horse 1 ½ level scoops daily per 1100lb of body weight or follow dosing chart.
It is recommended to utilize a 6 week loading period when starting Assure Guard Gold to optimize digestive function as quickly as possible. For the loading period, feed the recommended daily dose twice daily with grain meals (i.e. 1 ½ scoops with morning and evening grain). For maintenance, it is recommended that the daily dose be split with grain meals (i.e. ¾ scoop with morning and evening grain).
If your horse does not receive grain, Assure Guard Gold can be given as a “treat” or fed alone at both the loading and maintenance doses.
If palatability issues arise, add small amounts of water, oil or molasses to encourage acceptance.
It is recommended that you consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations prior to adding Assure Guard Gold, or any supplement, to your horse’s daily regimen.
Store product in a cool, dry place.

Q: How is Assure® Guard Gold different from other digestive supplements?
A: Assure Guard Gold combines Assure Guard and Assure Plus, our best-selling Assure System products, into a convenient and powerful daily supplement. The pelleted formula provides all the benefits of the two-product approach and can be used to address specific issues while maintaining the digestive health of your horse. Assure Guard Gold uses a unique, patented delivery system to ensure your horse gets the full benefits of the pre and probiotics, psyllium, gastric buffer, digestive enzymes, yeast and calcium carbonate. Properly processed psyllium with no added sugars make it the perfect choice for horses with metabolic concerns.
Q: Other supplements, when compared to Assure Guard Gold, contain more probiotics. Does that mean they are better?
A: When it comes to probiotics, more is not always better. The patented Assure Guard Gold formula has been extensively researched to find the most effective balance of pre and probiotics, yeast, gastric buffer, psyllium and digestive enzymes. Microbes in other supplements are often broken down in the stomach’s acidic environment before reaching the hindgut. Arenus digestive aids are the only products with Gastrointestinal Stabilizing Technology (GST) to combat this problem. GST in Assure Guard Gold ensures the microbes arrive safely in the hindgut to provide the benefits they were intended for.
Q: Will my picky eater like Assure Guard Gold?
A: Most horses readily eat Assure Guard Gold pellets and working it into their regimen is no problem. Horses that are picky eaters usually don’t like granular or powder supplements. Because this supplement is pelleted, many horses are easily transitioned onto Assure Guard Gold. However, if your horse turns his nose up at his new supplement there are a few tricks you can try. Simple things like starting with a smaller dose or adding water, vegetable oil or molasses have proven helpful with picky eaters.
Q: Will my horse need to be on Assure Guard Gold forever?
A: Assure Guard Gold is designed as a daily, maintenance program. While it can be used to address acute issues, most horse owners opt to incorporate Assure Guard Gold into their horse’s daily supplement regimen. Simply adjust the loading dose for acute situations to the lower maintenance dose as needed.
Q: What is the shelf life of Assure Guard Gold and how should I store it?
A: Even though Assure Guard Gold contains high volumes of live microbes, its exclusive formulation ensures stability for at least 2 years from the manufacture date if stored properly. The Assure products are meant to be stored in a cool, dry place with the bag tightly sealed and the bucket lid closed.
Q: Why would I choose Assure® Guard Gold over one of the two-product Assure System approaches?
A: Assure Guard Gold was created for a variety of reasons but the largest was the convenience factor. Veterinarians and clients that loved and trusted the Assure System products asked us for a simpler alternative and Assure Guard Gold was our answer. This is a single, pelleted product that provides the same benefits as our Assure Guard/Assure Plus combination. Competitors, multi-horse owners, racehorse stables and veterinary hospitals alike have embraced this product as their answer to convenient, effective digestive support. Additionally, Assure Guard Gold has become the product of choice for horses struggling with metabolic concerns like Cushings, insulin resistance, laminitis and Equine Metabolic Syndrome due to the lack of additional sugars present in its formula. Assure Guard Gold is designed to be a complete, Ultimate Digestive Aid. The two-product approach is an option for owners that want to customize their horse’s digestive health program.

Jessica, we appreciate that you have placed a review with us and it is great that Assure Guard Gold has provided digestive support for your horse.
Excellent Supplement
This was recommended to me by my veterinarian. My horse suffered with leaky gut for years after being rehabilitated from a neglect situation. He was severely starved and was left with a very sensitive stomach. I tried many things but this ended my search. My horse absolutely loves it. He not only stopped having diarrhea, he is willing to move under saddle. His body condition has also improved greatly. He is so muscular and fit. So grateful for this product.
Arenus Animal Health
Jennifer, it is great to hear that your veterinarian recommended Assure Guard Gold for your horse's Leaky Gut and since starting the product his diarrhea has resolved. Our patented Assure Guard Gold formula contains our proprietarily processed psyllium which works in the hindgut to reduce inflammation as well as balance the microbiome. Thank you Jennifer for placing your review.
Miracle!!
My 28 year old gelding began fecal water syndrome over the winter but by spring seemed to get over it. The following winter it didnt end in spring but continued year round with constant monitoring and cleaning of rear end. I tried probiotics with no improvement. My vet recommended Assure Gold and he hasn't had another bout of it since! No one believes he is 30 years old, no fws and coat looks great. This product changes our lives.
Arenus Animal Health
Jacqueline , we are thrilled to hear that your older gelding has seen improvement of his FWS on Assure Guard Gold. As you know, geriatric horses are more prone to experience GI upset and Assure Guard Gold is a great way to support his entire digestive tract. It is great that your veterinarian has recommended Assure Guard Gold. Thank you Jacqueline, for placing your review.
Assure Guard Gold
I am thrilled. I was dealing with fecal water syndrome plus some solid, for two years. I tried many different supplements that did not work.. My vet recommended AGG. Arenus was very easy to ask questions and get advice and support. We had to go through a longer loading dose period but He is DRY!!!. So excited to have more time to ride instead of cleaning butt!
Great Product
Our vet recommended this product after our horse had colic. Since then, she’s done great without any issues. We started our other horses on it for prevention.
