NEW PRODUCT! Meet Slimer!

Slimer® forms a protective coating over the stomach’s sensitive gastric tissue to protect it against splashing acid.

Slimer gets its name from the 'slimy' nature of its ingredients: hyaluronic acid, beta glucan, slippery elm, marshmallow root, and licorice root. Slimer's viscous nature forms a protective coating over the stomach's squamous and glandular surface, and protects the sensitive gastric tissue from splashing acid for 1-2 hours at a time. Slimer can be added to feed or can be dosed strategically before riding, traveling, competing, or times of additional stress.

Slimer's bioavailable, research backed ingredients are shown to help preserve and protect gastric tissue throughout the squamous and glandular regions of the stomach. As an all natural alternative to sucralfate, Slimer does not interfere with the absorption of medication, and its ability to coat gastric tissue is not limited to exclusively ulcerated tissue.

What makes Slimer different from other liquid supplements?

Other liquid gastric supplements are usually a combination of hyaluronic acid and beta glucan. Slimer contains higher levels of these active ingredients than other products, and the addition of mucosal soothing ingredients like slippery elm, marshmallow root, and licorice root. As a result, Slimer is a more effective barrier against gastric acid.

What is the difference between Slimer and Sucralfate?

Sucralfate is a drug that adheres specifically to ulcerated tissue to form a coating that protects the damaged mucosa from gastric acid and helps heal lesions. Slimer is a combination of all natural ingredients that forms a viscous coating over the entirety of the stomach (not specifically to damaged mucosa), which is designed to protect the mucosa from gastric acid for shorter periods of time.

Slimer ingredients

What's in Slimer?

All natural ingredients, of course! High molecular weight hyaluronic acid combined with beta glucan, a soluble fiber with a mucilage consistency, display gastroprotective properties that create a viscous slime coating throughout the stomach to help protect gastric mucosa. Marshmallow root, slippery elm and deglycyrrized licorice root also coat and protect the stomach, and provide mucosal-soothing and antioxidant effects reducing oxidative stress.

How is Slimer different than Ulceraser?

Slimer is a liquid supplement designed to coat the squamous and glandular portions of the stomach to help protect the sensitive mucosa from splashing gastric acid during times that horses are most at risk for ulcers. Ulceraser is forage based, designed to increase the strength of gastric mucosa, increase circulation and help heal lesions, act as a sand clear, and encourages digestion in the foregut rather than the hindgut to help prevent the release of volatile fatty acids that can contribute to hindgut ulcers.
