Hereโs something most horse owners DON'T know: There is no dietary supplement category for animals under the FDA. A product is classified based on what itโs intended to do...meaning the word probiotic on a feed room shelf isnโt a guarantee of whatโs actually inside.
So how do you know what youโre ๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ feeding?

โProbiotic blendโ isnโt an ingredient. Look for the specific organism and strain, like Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii, CNCM I-1079.

If the label doesnโt tell you how many live organisms youโre feeding, you donโt really know the dose.

A probiotic has to survive manufacturing, storage, and the digestive tract before it can do anything. Protection matters.

Different horses, different situations, different needs. A probiotic shouldn't just be something tossed into a bag because it sounds good on a label.
At FullBucket, every probiotic is built around one specific, extensively researched strain: S. boulardii.
SO donโt just ask, โDoes this contain probiotics?โ
Ask: Which one? How much? How is it protected? And why was it formulated?
