It often appears as runny streaks on the hind legs and under the tail and can cause irritation, itching, and skin issues. FFF is not a disease in itself, but rather a sign that something in the gastrointestinal environment is out of balance.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common causes of free fecal fluid<\/h2><p>FFF can occur for several reasons, and it is often a combination of factors<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Imbalance in the gut microbiota and a sensitive digestive system<\/li>\n\n<li>Feed changes, forage with variable quality, or high hygienic pressure (poor hygiene\/microbial load)<\/li>\n\n<li>Stress (environment, training, change of stable, transport)<\/li>\n\n<li>Exposure to undesirable substances in the gastrointestinal tract, e.g., toxins and other irritants<\/li><\/ul><p>When the gut becomes irritated or burdened, it may function less effectively and the liquid can \u201cseparate\u201d from the manure.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can EQUNIQUE\u00ae Total Support help?<\/h2><p>EQUNIQUE\u00ae Total Support is a pure mineral product with a high content 92% of <strong>clinoptilolite (zeolite)<\/strong>\u2014the active mineral in the product. Clinoptilolite is known for its strong binding capacity in the gastrointestinal tract.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Binds undesirable substances in the gut<\/h2><p>Clinoptilolite can <strong>bind toxins, bacteria, parasites, and heavy metals<\/strong> in the horse\u2019s gastrointestinal tract and help the body eliminate them. When the load on the gut decreases, this may contribute to a calmer, more balanced function<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Supports digestion and nutrient absorption<\/h2><p>By reducing the amount of harmful\/burdensome substances and helping to create a more stable gut environment, Total Support may <strong>improve digestion and nutrient absorption<\/strong>. Many horses become sensitive in the stomach when absorption is disrupted\u2014and improved gut function can be an important piece of the puzzle in cases of FFW.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Reduces strain on the body and may support the immune system<\/h2><p>When the body does not have to deal with as many undesirable substances, it can <strong>reduce the burden on the liver<\/strong> and free up resources for recovery and overall well-being. Regular use is also described as potentially <strong>supporting the immune system<\/strong> by optimizing the gut environment and nutrient absorption.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Gentle and practical for everyday use<\/h2><p>Total Support is a <strong>pure mineral<\/strong> and has <strong>no withdrawal period<\/strong>. According to the product description, it does not affect vitamins or medicinal products, since these consist of larger molecules that cannot bind to the mineral.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dosage<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Maintenance: <strong>1 dl daily<\/strong> for a <strong>500 kg horse<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>If needed, the dose can be <strong>doubled<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Preferably divided into <strong>two servings per day<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Easiest to feed mixed into <strong>soaked feed<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Money-Back Guarantee<\/h2><p>If your horse has not been helped by our product within 7 days, despite dosing according to our instructions, we guarantee your money back.
