HorseAdds Yeast Postbiotics for Horses
HorseAdds Yeast - Postbiotics for Horses is an innovative supplement that promotes your horse's gut health and overall resistance. This product supports the balance of the gut microbiome, which is essential for proper digestion, a strong immune system and efficient nutrient absorption. It helps horses recover faster after exercise and contributes to healthy joints and cartilage synthesis. Thanks to postbiotic technology, HorseAdds Yeast provides consistent health benefits without relying on live microorganisms. Suitable for all horses regardless of age or activity level.
Risks and consequences of intestinal flora disruption in horses
A horse's gut flora, consisting of "good" bacteria and yeasts (probiotics), can become unbalanced due to feed changes, health problems or impaired digestion. Too much time in the barn, intense training, transport and feed changes increase stress on the gut, which can lead to serious problems over time. This can manifest as variable or poor manure consistency, such as thin manure, manure water or undigested parts, as well as abdominal sensitivity and negative reactions to touch, whether while riding or not.
Gut is the horse's engine
A horse's gut is the engine that drives its health and performance. More than 70% of a horse's immune cells are located in the gut. The immune system evolved along with the gut to build defenses against pathogens. When the gut microbiome flourishes, it can more effectively support the horse's immune response against perceived threats, helping to maintain the horse's overall health and performance.
Postbiotic metabolites
HorseAdds Yeast is a natural* post biotic that delivers a precise and targeted combination of hundreds of metabolites to the horse's gut. Several studies show that by nourishing the gut microbiome with the right combination of metabolites, HorseAdds Yeast supports a balanced immune response to stress, recovery from exercise and even joint health. That's multiple health benefits packed into a single ingredient.

Why choose HorseAdds Yeast?
Healthy intestines are essential for a horse's resistance and overall health, as they are the center of the immune system. Disturbance of gut health therefore directly affects overall resistance. In horses with sensitive intestines, HorseAdds Yeast postbiotics can support the probiotics in the gut and contribute to a healthy gut system. Unlike other biotic ingredients, which rely on the survival of microorganisms to achieve desired health effects, HorseAdds Yeast undergoes a controlled fermentation process before being consumed by the horse. This unique process allows HorseAdds Yeast to be included in any formula, with effectiveness not limited by challenges around microbial survival. The result? A consistent combination of metabolites in every serving.
Promote gut function and a strong gut microbiome
The postbiotic technology behind HorseAdds Yeast is known for supporting proper gut function through long, dense villi that act as a barrier to keep out harmful pathogens while supporting optimal nutrient absorption.
Horses receiving HorseAdds Yeast have better digestion and can absorb nutrients more efficiently compared to horses not receiving this supplement.
Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) play an important role in the energy supply of horses, accounting for 30% of their daily energy. HorseAdds Yeast supports the production of these VFAs better than other supplements, such as inulin, often used in horse feed.
A healthy and diverse gut microbiome is essential to your horse's overall health, especially in the hindgut. Stress can disrupt the balance of the microbiome and lead to digestive problems. HorseAdds Yeast helps maintain the diversity and stability of the gut microbiome even during stressful periods, contributing to healthy digestion and a strong immune system.
Supports recovery after exercise and promotes healthy joints
It can take a horse up to 5 days to fully recover from strenuous exercise, and joint health can be a challenge for sport horses, especially as the intensity of exercise increases. By adding HorseAdds Yeast to the diet, horses can recover more efficiently from exercise and maintain healthy joints and cartilage synthesis.
Recovery after exercise - HorseAdds Yeast supports horses in responding effectively to exercise and helps them recover faster. This is evidenced by stable levels of Serum Amyloid A (SAA) and Serum Cortisol, which are important markers of stress and inflammation in the body.
Maintain healthy joints - HorseAdds Yeast has been shown to support long-term joint health in horses that exercise, as evidenced by a reduction in Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and promoting healthy cartilage synthesis.
Creation of vitamin B in intestinal flora
In a horse, the intestines are also responsible for the production of B vitamins. Normally, these B vitamins are produced by the microorganisms in the intestines themselves. However, when the intestinal flora becomes unbalanced, the production of these B vitamins also becomes disrupted. HorseAdds Yeast is rich in B vitamins and helps build gut flora.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HorseAdds Yeast palatable to horses?
Yes, HorseAdds Yeast supports palatability in horse feeds and supplements.
Is HorseAdds Yeast approved for Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI)?
The HorseAdds Yeast postbiotic product line for horses contains no added substances listed on the EPSL list published in 2022, ARCI Model Rules version 11.1, ARCI Substance Schedule version 4.1, or the ADMR published list of prohibited substances. In addition, no listed substances are used in the production process or stored in the production facility.
What makes HorseAdds Yeast a postbiotic?
HorseAdds Yeast fits the official postbiotic definition as described by the International Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP): a preparation of inactive microorganisms and/or their components that provide health benefits to the host. HorseAdds Yeast meets this definition because all parts of the cells are intact, the yeast cells are inactive and carefully deactivated by heat-drying. It starts as a live strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and we have conducted multiple controlled horse-specific studies.
What is the difference between a pre-, pro- and postbiotic?
Prebiotics are fiber-rich substrates that serve as food for live microorganisms (probiotics).
Probiotics are live microorganisms that ferment to create metabolites needed for energy and other functions.
Postbiotics are produced as a result of fermentation of probiotics - they are the beneficial metabolites that support the gut microbiota and can be directly incorporated into epithelial cells for use as energy or other biological functions.
Are there any restrictions on feeding HorseAdds Yeast?
No, HorseAdds Yeast is safe to feed to all horses at all life stages.
How stable is HorseAdds Yeast?
HorseAdds Yeast has excellent stability under long-term storage conditions and withstands all high heat and pressure processing conditions normally used in feed and supplement production. The shelf life is 24 months from the production date.
Is HorseAdds Yeast a live yeast product?
No, HorseAdds Yeast is a non-living fermentation product. HorseAdds Yeast begins as a unique live strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is deactivated via heat and processed through a proprietary fermentation process.
Is HorseAdds Yeast the same as mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) or beta-glucan products?
No. Most MOS and beta-glucan additives are by-products of other manufacturing processes. HorseAdds Yeast is a complete postbiotic that contains a unique combination of metabolites (including MOS and beta-glucan fractions) that are beneficial to horses.
Is HorseAdds Yeast suitable for recreational horses or is it only aimed at sport horses?
Regardless of a horse's stress level or nutritional status, HorseAdds Yeast can supplement and improve their daily diet and nutritional well-being.
