MBS EQUINE
Vytamyx MBS is a scientifically formulated synbiotic designed to support a balanced gut microbiome as the foundation of overall health and wellbeing in horses.
The equine digestive system relies heavily on microbial fermentation within the hindgut to convert fibre into usable energy and nutrients.
This microbial ecosystem plays a central role in how the horse maintains condition, utilises feed, and supports normal physiological function.
Modern management introduces a range of variables — including changes in diet, pasture quality, workload, travel, and environment — all of which can influence microbiome stability.
Even small shifts in microbial balance can impact digestive efficiency and overall consistency.
MBS combines targeted probiotic strains with complementary prebiotic substrates to support beneficial microbial populations.
It is further supported by humates and fucoidan-rich kelp, which contribute to maintaining a stable gut environment and supporting microbial diversity.
Together, these ingredients help maintain the conditions required for efficient digestion and nutrient utilisation.
A balanced microbiome supports multiple interconnected systems across the body, including metabolic function, behavioural balance, skin condition, and overall resilience.
By supporting these foundational processes, MBS provides a practical and consistent approach to maintaining whole-horse wellbeing.

The Science
Humates, including fulvic and humic acids, and fucoidan-rich marine polysaccharides represent a complementary approach to microbiome support when combined with targeted probiotic strains such as Bacillus subtilis.
Humates are known to contribute to gut environment stability, supporting nutrient interaction and helping maintain conditions that favour beneficial microbial activity. Fulvic acid, in particular, is associated with enhancing mineral transport and supporting the interaction between nutrients and the gut lining.
Fucoidans, derived from specific brown seaweeds such as Ascophyllum nodosum, provide complex sulphated polysaccharides that act as functional substrates within the gut, supporting microbial diversity and the activity of beneficial populations.
When combined with Bacillus subtilis, a resilient spore-forming probiotic capable of surviving gastric conditions and colonising the hindgut, this creates a synergistic system. The probiotic contributes to microbial balance and enzymatic activity, while humates and fucoidans help create a supportive environment and substrate base for sustained function.
This integrated approach supports the stability, diversity, and efficiency of the microbiome, which underpins digestion, nutrient utilisation, and overall physiological balance in the horse.
