Plusvital Micro-Sponge is scientifically formulated to support the equine gastrointestinal tract during periods of digestive disturbance. The 5kg powder is a practical bulk format for veterinary practices, breeding operations and professional equine facilities managing multiple horses.
The formula combines diosmectite with BetaNucleo™ to provide three-way digestive support. It helps stabilise the gastrointestinal environment, support intestinal mucosal integrity during recovery and maintain beneficial microbial populations.
Diosmectite is a high-quality form of bentonite with an extensive ionically charged surface area. This allows it to absorb excess water and adsorb undesirable substances within the gastrointestinal tract. BetaNucleo™ combines beta-glucans and nucleotides to support normal immune function and intestinal recovery.

Important Veterinary Advice
Equine diarrhoea can have infectious, dietary, parasitic, inflammatory, medication-related or other potentially serious causes. It can rapidly result in dehydration and electrolyte loss and should not be managed with supplementation alone.
Seek prompt veterinary advice if a horse develops diarrhoea, particularly if the horse is a foal, appears unwell, has a fever, shows signs of colic or dehydration, or if the diarrhoea is severe or persistent. Appropriate hygiene and isolation procedures may be necessary where an infectious cause is suspected.
