LEAKYGUTCOMBO *Organic Herbal Blend for Horses - a comprehensive 3-in-1 nutritional support for leaky gut/FWS

Leaky gut is caused by long-term dysbiosis in the microbiome, aka SIBO ( Small Intestinal Bacterial Overload ), meaning the pro-inflammatory gut bacteria have now taken hold and are destroying the beneficial fibre-fermenting microbes. These include the now recognised Archaea strand, which is also showing resistance to the majority of commonly used antibiotics.

Equally, human health studies now show that the microbiome as a whole rarely recovers from an 'antibiotic' impact. A botanical approach is less aggressive and has also been shown to be as effective as pharmaceutical antibiotics in clinical trials for SIBO treatment.

LeakyGutCOMBO is formulated with this natural approach in mind, addressing intestinal permeability and faecal water syndrome.

For the latest gut health insights, see our main A-Z/Gut System page in the Advice Centre above

LeakyGutCOMBO is designed for horses whose gut issues have moved beyond simple imbalance and into true permeability- the point where the hindgut lining becomes compromised, fluid leaks through, and the microbiome can no longer stabilise itself.

This blend is the right choice when your horse needs more than gut support- when they need microbial resetting + mucosal repair + immune steadiness, all working together.

Choose LeakyGutCOMBO when your horse shows:

✔ Persistent faecal water patterns, such as:

• watery leakage before/after droppings
• fluctuating dung consistency
• droppings that “won’t form” despite diet consistency

✔ Signs of hindgut sensitivity, including:

• right-hind tightness, belly guarding, tension when being groomed
• flank-touch reactivity
• on-off low-grade discomfort

✔ Patterns linked to long-term dysbiosis or stress:

• post-antibiotic biome disruption
• recurring microbial imbalance (SIBO-type behaviours)
• unexplained gassiness, fermentation odour, bloating episodes

✔ Permeability that persists even after basic gut work:

• horses who improved on SiboCARE but still show leakage
• horses needing deeper intestinal repair rather than microbe-only support

LeakyGutCOMBO is NOT the right starting point if your horse has:

• Acute abdominal pain, fever, or colic-type symptoms → always vet first
• Active gastric ulcer behaviours → stabilise stomach first (UlsaTonic / UlsaCOMBO)
• Plain dysbiosis WITHOUT permeability → start with SiboCARE
• Severe mucosal irritation/rawness → begin with SiboCARE + GutAminos separately
• Concurrent steroid, anticoagulant, or immunosuppressant therapy without vet guidance

Which blend - LeakyGutCOMBO, SiboCARE, or KPUCOMBO?

• Start with SiboCARE for imbalance.
• Choose LeakyGutCOMBO for permeability.
• Use KPUCOMBO when detox and systemic load are also in play.

LeakyGutCOMBO is a nutritional, functional food supplement and not veterinary medicine. For more on this, see Dr Kellon's article - Nutrition is not 'Alternative' Therapy .

♻️ Eco Note: Our packaging is recyclable and refillable.

Energetic architecture explains how a blend (or COMBO) is designed to work in layers - addressing cause, consequence, and stabilising in the correct order, rather than trying to do everything at once.

LeakyGutCOMBO is built as a three-stage functional system. It does not simply “soothe” the gut - it stabilises the microbial environment, nourishes the damaged intestinal lining, and supports immune balance so the gut can finally hold itself together again.

This sequencing is what makes it effective for persistent faecal water and leaky gut patterns.

Functional categories

LeakyGutCOMBO works across three coordinated functional layers, each addressing a different part of the leaky-gut picture.

1. Microbial terrain stabilisation (SiboCARE foundation)

This first layer addresses the root cause- long-standing dysbiosis and SIBO-type overgrowth that drives inflammation and permeability.

Key actions:

• Moderates harmful bacterial and archaeal overgrowth
• Reduces excessive fermentation and gas pressure
• Settles inflammatory signalling in the hindgut
• Creates a calmer, more stable gut environment

This stage is essential - without it, repair cannot stabilise.

2. Mucosal repair & epithelial nourishment (GutAminos support)

Once microbial pressure begins to ease, the focus shifts to repairing the gut wall itself.

Key actions:

• Nourishes enterocytes (gut lining cells)
• Supports tight-junction integrity
• Encourages mucosal regeneration and resilience
• Helps reduce ongoing leakage of fluid and toxins

This layer directly supports intestinal integrity and helps reduce faecal water patterns.

3. Immune modulation & antioxidant buffering (Spirulina integration)

The final layer supports the immune system that lives in the gut- helping prevent relapse while calming chronic inflammatory drive.

Key actions:

• Supports balanced immune responses in the intestinal wall
• Provides antioxidant protection during repair
• Helps reduce hypersensitivity and reactivity
• Supports longer-term gut resilience

This stage helps the gut stay repaired.

Functional Intent – what this COMBO is designed to achieve

LeakyGutCOMBO is designed for horses where gut issues have moved beyond “simple imbalance” and into ongoing permeability and instability.

At this stage, it's about containment and repair.

This COMBO is intended to:

• Stabilise a chronically disrupted hindgut environment.
• Support the reduction of inflammatory leakage.
• Nourish and strengthen the intestinal lining.
• Support immune balance so repair can hold.
• Stabilise faecal water, normalise droppings consistency and comfort over time.

Why this works

Leaky gut does not develop overnight - and it does not resolve overnight either.

What makes LeakyGutCOMBO effective is that it:

• Respects the order of healing
• Avoids suppressing symptoms before causes are addressed
• Supports the gut as a living ecosystem, not a pipe to be plugged

By combining:

• Microbial stabilisation
• Epithelial repair
• Immune modulation

In short, the gut is given the conditions it needs to rebuild integrity from the inside out. It works because it stops the leak, strengthens the wall, and calms the system that governs it.

Advisories

LeakyGutCOMBO is formulated as a gentle, functional nutritional blend and is generally considered safe when used at recommended levels.

• Each component of this COMBO is available separately in our Gut System Shop page.
• Feed as a minimum 1-month course.

• Ensure quality adlib meadow hay is available at all times to help restore the beneficial hindgut microbiome.
• Contains natural bitter and antimicrobial-type compounds (e.g. Andrographis , Berberis , Oregano ) that help re-balance the microbiome. Introduce gradually to avoid transient digestive changes as the gut flora adjusts.
• If your horse is showing signs of discomfort or stress, consider supportive blends such as our DuoBute / StressTonic , or see our Hindgut Reset Programme.
• If a horse is receiving prescribed gastrointestinal, antibiotic, or anti-inflammatory medication, seek veterinary guidance before concurrent use.

Contraindications

• Not suitable for pregnant or nursing mares due to hormonally active and detoxifying botanicals.
• Avoid in horses currently on steroid, immunosuppressant, or anticoagulant medication unless under veterinary supervision.
