Concentrated and dynamic, Assure Plus offers a custom solution to equine digestive health problems in an effective, pelleted psyllium supplement.
Does your horse suffer from chronic digestive issues? Poor performance and overall health? Sand accumulation? Assure Plus is the answer.
Anywhere from 60 to 70 percent of a horse’s immune function comes from digestive health. High-grade psyllium combined with a routine maintenance program improves GI motility through conditioning for optimal digestive tract function.
(common) MYTH: All psyllium works the same - it pulls sand from the gut.
This is false! The truth is psyllium is a powerful ingredient that offers many benefits in addition to sand removal. But it takes the right kind of psyllium to get the job done.
Psyllium in its original, flake form has a strong water binding action that creates a soothing, gel-like consistency in the GI tract. This promotes optimal function, mucosal healing and has been proven to lower blood glucose and insulin concentrations, all of which benefit your horse. Good GI motility is necessary to help horses quickly evacuate large quantities of sand.
Most psyllium processing methods strip the psyllium of these benefits. Our unique pelleting process ensures our psyllium retains its ability to function exactly as it should for maximum health benefits.
Arenus is proud to offer Assure Plus as a concentrated psyllium boost for your horse’s digestive health program.

FEATURES

- Proprietary psyllium process: Psyllium keeps your horse’s digestive tract conditioned and cleaned. 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 that protects probiotics from stomach acid.
- Effective maintenance and control: The trusted pairing of Assure Plus with a maintenance product in the Assure System addresses mild to severe digestive concerns while maintaining overall GI health.
- Clinically proven system: A field trial study evaluating horses with a variety of serious GI conditions revealed that 90% of recurrent colic cases, 100% of sand accumulation cases and 94% of weight loss or poor body condition cases were resolved using the combination of Assure Guard and Assure Plus.
- 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 Plus undergoes special processing to create concentrated, powerful pellets have shown to 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.
- Vet trusted supplement: The patented Assure System is a standby tool for vets across the country fighting tough digestive health challenges.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Assure Plus is designed to be used with one of the daily Assure System products (Assure, Assure Hoof or Assure Guard) and it is recommended to utilize a 4-6 week loading period when beginning an Assure System regimen to optimize digestive function as quickly as possible.
For the loading period, feed 2 level scoops of Assure Plus daily per 1100lb of body weight, or follow the dosing chart, along with the daily Assure product that best suits your horse’s needs.
For maintenance, feed the recommended dose of Assure Plus for 7 consecutive days out of each month and continue use of the daily Assure product each day as recommended in the appropriate dosing chart.
If your horse does not receive grain, Assure Plus 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 Plus, or any supplement, to your horse’s daily regimen.
Store product in a cool, dry place.
