Professional holistic therapist - Catherine Edwards
"As a horse parent and professional holistic therapist working with horses for 20 years, the number one supplement that I see most the most difference to every horses is the microbz. In a time when land is sprayed, nutritionally deficient and horses do not have access to the diversity they need to maintain a healthy microbiome, this simple but amazing cost-effective supplement is a must all year round, for physical and behavioural health."

FAQs
How do I give microbz to my horse?
Microbz can be mixed into your horse’s daily feed, whether that’s hard feed, soaked feed, or added over hay. It’s easy to incorporate into their normal routine.
Can it be used in drinking water?
Yes, Microbz can be added to drinking water. However, we recommend always providing a second source of plain water so your horse has a choice.
Can I add microbz to hot mash or boiling water?
No, avoid adding microbz to hot feed or boiling water, as high temperatures can kill off some of the beneficial microbes. Add it once the feed has cooled and is comfortable to touch.
I see it contains molasses, is this safe for my horse?
Yes, the molasses in microbz is used up during the fermentation process as food for the microbes. The result is a product with the taste and palatability of molasses, but without the high sugar content.
Can I use microbz alongside my other supplements and medications?
Microbz is completely safe to use alongside other supplements. If your horse is on medication, we recommend consulting your vet before introducing any new product, including probiotics.
I accidentally gave too much, is it harmful?
Not at all, microbz is natural and completely safe to consume. The gut will regulate what it needs, and any excess will simply pass through the system.
Can my horse have this daily?
Absolutely. While balancing microbes is especially beneficial during times of stress or dietary change, microbz can be given daily to help maintain a healthy, balanced gut and support overall wellbeing.
What makes microbz different from powdered probiotics?
Microbz comes in a live liquid form, ensuring the beneficial microbes remain active and diverse. Powdered probiotics are often freeze-dried, which can cause the microbes to go dormant or reduce their numbers. With microbz, the microbes are alive and ready to work immediately, supporting faster and more effective gut balance.
I’ve tried probiotics before with little effect. Why might microbz be different?
Many probiotics use dormant or single-strain bacteria. Microbz contains a multi-species, live microbial system that works dynamically with your horse’s natural gut flora, offering a more complete and active approach to digestive health.
Are the microbes in Microbz alive and active?
Yes. Microbz products contain live, active microbial cultures that continue to thrive once they enter the digestive system, helping to restore and maintain gut balance naturally.
When should I use more?
During periods of stress to support your horse's digestive balance, such as changes in diet or pasture, travel, competition or illness.
Why does my horse need this if they have access to pasture?
Modern soils and pastures lack the same natural microbial diversity that they once did. Factors such as weather changes, overgrazing and reduced plant variety mean that your horse might not be getting the full spectrum of beneficial microbes from forage alone.
