Acid BUF - Marine Calcium
Acid Buf – Marine Calcium for Gut & Digestive Support
Acid Buf is a natural marine-sourced calcium supplement designed to support gastric health and maintain a healthy digestive environment in horses. Derived from calcified sea algae, it provides a highly bioavailable form of calcium, helping to buffer excess stomach acid and support overall gut comfort.
Unlike standard calcium sources, Acid Buf works more effectively within the stomach, due to its honeycomb like structure to help stabilise pH levels, making it particularly useful for horses prone to gastric sensitivity, ulcer risk, or stress-related digestive issues. It’s a simple, natural way to support both gut health and overall wellbeing.
Signs your horse may benefit from added gastric support:
- Poor appetite or fussy eating
- Sensitivity when girthing or under saddle
- Mild colic-type behaviour or discomfort
- Dullness or changes in attitude
- Poor condition despite adequate feeding
- Loose manure or inconsistent droppings
- Reduced performance or willingness to work
When to consider using Acid Buf:
- For horses prone to gastric ulcers or digestive sensitivity
- During periods of stress (training, travel, competition)
- When feeding high-grain or low-forage diets
- For horses in regular work or performance programs
- When pasture availability is limited
- As part of a balanced gut support program
