ALL-NATURAL PROPRIETARY BLEND
 
Uraser contains:
L-glutamine and L-proline, which stimulate production of the mucosa that protects the gastrointestinal tract from acid, support development of the intestinal cells responsible for nutrient absorption, and assist in rebuilding damaged tissue.
Omega-3 fatty acids[1] known to reduce swelling and inflammation, and boost the immune system.
Hydrophilic ingredients that assist in clearing sand and unwanted debris from the gut.
Naturally occurring magnesium, tryptophan[2] and glutamate, which assist anti-stress inhibitors that reduce anxiety and nervousness.
L-arginine[3], which is the precursor to nitric oxide that increases blood flow to damaged tissue, helps reduce inflammation, promotes the healing process of ulcers, and helps prevent additional ulcers from developing.
L-lycine[4], which aids in healing gastric lesions.
L-glycine[5], which is essential for a healthy functioning digestive system, and is known to inhibit gastric secretion and protect and repair gastric mucosa.
L-serine, which inhibits gastric secretion and protects gastric mucosa. Serine is also needed to produce tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to serotonin, which helps reduce nervousness and stress.

EQUINE ANATOMY AND THE CAUSES OF ULCERS
Up to 90% of Performance Horses Have Ulcers
 
Due to many environmental factors, it is estimated that approximately 90% of performance horses have ulcers. The main causes of ulcers include:
Stress (caused by training, competition, shipping, injury, etc.)
Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (i.e. phenybutazone, banamine)
Limited access to turnout and grazing
Infrequent feedings
Large grain meals
 
Lack of constant roughage combined with intense exercise, competition, travel, and frequent use of harsh non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can result in painful ulcers. Signs of ulcers include:
Irritability
Weight loss
Resistance to leg
Dull coat
Anxiousness
Poor appetite
Mild colic and colic-like symptoms
Spookiness
Poor performance
Girthiness
 
Prescription drug treatment of ulcers falls into different categories. Drugs such as omeprazole and ranitidine shut down the production of acid from the gastric pumps. Other drugs, such as misoprostol are synthetic prostaglandins that target inflammation in the colon. Though prescription drugs can treat ulcers, the goal is to prevent their formation or recurrence. Gastric health and ulcer prevention can be managed through dietary supplements that assist in healing and protecting the stomach and intestinal linings.
