*Please note the red marine algae we use in Maxia Complete and Maxia Digest is manufactured to human grade and is certified for use in organic systems,  EU Health Certified Allergen Free,  GMO Free,  ISO 9001:2008 certified.* 

The probiotic we use is encapsulated which means the live bacteria inside each granule are protected from acidity, heat and moisture, enhancing stability and helping more cells to reach the hindgut alive.  The hindgut is the site of microbial fermentation and where the majority of the bacteria live.

Maxia Complete is a foregut buffer, reducing the risk of acid erosion to the sensitive mucosa in your horse's stomach.  It is an organic, calcareous, red marine algae, harvested to human grade and is primarily calcium and magnesium in a unique and organic form which is highly bio available and preferentially taken up by the gut.

The other minerals are in such minute amounts they do not contribute to the overall nutrients of your horse but act synergistically and give a powerful boost to the buffering capacity of the algae therefore we do recommend a well balanced vitamin and mineral mix that does not have calcium as a base.
