KEY BENEFITS
- Long-lasting digestive support: Assure was designed by a vet to be used as a safe, long-term solution to your horseās digestive health maintenance.
- Improved health and overall wellness: Retired, pleasure, and performance horses alike benefit from daily digestive support and sand clearance to keep them happy and healthy.
- Wide range protection: Assure is designed to tackle a variety of digestive challenges including diarrhea, loose stool, recurrent colic, and more.
- Whole digestive system support: Assure works to support the entire digestive tract from the stomach through the hindgut.
- Flexible, economic coverage: Use Assure daily for cost-effective maintenance. Pair with Assure Plus during the loading period and one week out of each month for best results. Add Assure Plus during times of stress for maximum support when your horse needs it most.
FEATURES
- Proper digestive aid foundation: Assure is our original digestive aid formula and the foundation of our Assure System products. It contains our custom blend of prebiotics, probiotics, psyllium, digestive enzymes, and yeast for optimal hindgut health and function.
- Gastrointestinal Stabilizing Technology (GST): Exclusive technology ensures that live microbes are protected from the acidic environment of the stomach for safe delivery to the hindgut.
- Clinically proven formula: The patented, vet approved and developed formula is proven to relieve colic, diarrhea, poor body condition, and more. Assure has been tested and verified as an essential piece of any horseās daily digestive health maintenance.
- Butyrate: Also known as butyric acid, butyrate is a critical volatile fatty acid (VFA) produced in the hindgut of all horses. The high quality, high purity psyllium in Assure has been 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.

Q: How is AssureĀ® different from other digestive supplements?
A: Assure was developed by a practicing veterinarian to solve the common digestive problems he faced in daily practice. This formulation was so successful in addressing GI challenges like colic, diarrhea, chronic loose stool and poor body condition that it became the foundation of our Assure System products. Assure contains a unique, patented delivery system not available from any other digestive aid on the market. When you use Assure, you can feel confident that youāre using the best digestive supplement on the market that will actually work.
Q: Some supplements have more probiotics than Assure. Does that mean theyāre better?
A: More is not always better. The patented Assure formula has been extensively researched to find the most effective balance of pre and probiotics, yeast, psyllium and digestive enzymes. The microbes in other supplements are often broken down in the stomachās acidic environment before reaching the hindgut. This results in a smaller quantity of active microbes available to address digestive concerns. Assure contains Arenusā exclusive Gastrointestinal Stabilizing Technology (GST) which protects the microbes while travelling through the stomach and allows them to arrive safely in the hindgut to deliver maximum benefits to your horse.
Q: Do horses like the taste of Assure?
A: Yes, Assure is palatable. Generally, if your horse eats other supplements without issue, working Assure into their regimen wonāt be a problem. If you have a picky eater then try starting with a smaller dose or adding water, vegetable oil or molasses to encourage your horse to eat their supplement.
Q: Will my horse need to be on Assure forever?
A: Assure is designed as a daily, maintenance program. While it can be used to address acute issues, most horse owners opt to incorporate Assure into their horseās daily supplement regimen.
Q: Why is it recommended to use both Assure and Assure Plus?
A: Each of the products in the Assure System are unique and designed to work together to address digestive challenges and maintain optimal gut health. We typically recommend using both products daily for 3 - 6 weeks. This resets your horseās digestive tract and ensures itās functioning as efficiently as possible. After this initial period, most horse owners are able to transition to a maintenance dose of giving Assure everyday and Assure Plus for 7 consecutive days each month or 7 days every 8 - 12 weeks. The Assure System products are designed to be flexible for each horseās lifestyle and requirements. This means that you can feed only the amount that your horse needs for a flexible, affordable digestive health solution. You may find that your horse does well with only Assure or you may want to try another Assure System program to suit your horseās needs.
Q: What is the shelf life of Assure and how should I store it?
A: Even though Assure 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: When feeding both Assure and Assure Plus, why is it suggested to feed them at different times?
A: We recommend feeding the products at different times to help with the breakdown of feedstuffs and ensure that your horse receives regular doses of live microbes throughout the day. Probiotics do not reside in the hindgut for long and a reinforcement after 12 hours instead of 24 hours works best to repopulate them.

So far, so good
I noticed one of my horses acting lethargic and disinterested and mentioned it to a friend. As I was new to Florida, she recommended a sand-clearing supplement. After research and reading reviews, I chose Assure. I put the whole herd on it. The mareās behavior returned to normal, and so far none of the others have had any issues.

Great Product
Was recommended to use this product by my veterinarian after my 3 year old had colic surgery. Once the container *** gone I assumed she'd be fine. Within two month I found her starting to colic again. Fortunately I was able to stop a full blown attack. I started her back on the Assure immediately and she's been solid ever since.

Nora, thank you for sharing your Assure Story. With more severe digestive disturbances we often find that daily digestive support is needed to keep the GI tract happy and healthy. It is great to hear that after restarting Assure your horse has been colic free. If you feel your horse needs extra support Assure Plus would be an excellent addition to your program. Thank you Nora for placing your review.
It works!
My vet recommended trying Assure for my mare who had developed cow-patty manure. She did not like the taste at first. So after a few days of gradually introducing Assure to her grain, I saw improvements within 2 days. Now she eats up the full dose and manure is back to normal. It's worth the price and highly recommend.

Worked when others havenāt
My horse had unformed stool for months, so believe he was eating buttercup in his pasture. I tried a couple of other probiotics, he didnāt improve until I tried this product. After the first month, I tried taking him off of it and giving one of the less expensive ones, the diarrhea came back and again went away when I put him back on the Assure.

Assure
Iām very pleased with this product. My veterinarian recommended it for my 22 year old Paint gelding. My gelding was having issues with loose stools. After only a couple weeks on this product his loose stools cleared up. He has been on this product for 2 years now with excellent results.
Arenus Animal Health
Julie, thank you for sharing your Assure story. We are thrilled to hear your veterinarian recommended Assure for your gelding and he has not experienced any loose stools since starting Assure two years ago. The pre and probiotics in Assure work to restore balance to the microbial population of the hindgut, a key factor for a "happy" digestive system. Thank you Julie, for placing your review of Assure.
