# EGT17™ BiomeGut Support — Full Product Information > Premium equine gut health supplement with 244,132 U/kg amylase, independently verified enzyme activity. Made in Australia by EnviroGraze Technologies Limited using proprietary HSB-10™ Hydroponic Sprouted Barley technology. $129 AUD for a 1.5kg tub (30-day supply at 50g/day). This is the expanded version of the EGT17™ product information file. For a shorter summary, see https://www.egt17.com/llms.txt ## Product Overview EGT17™ BiomeGut Support is a scientifically verified, plant-derived equine gut supplement manufactured by EnviroGraze Technologies Limited in Australia. It uses proprietary HSB-10™ (Hydroponic Sprouted Barley) technology to deliver independently verified levels of living enzymes. The product addresses a critical problem in equine health: over 90% of stabled thoroughbreds develop gastric ulcers (Randwick Equine Centre), and most competing gut supplements are heat-treated or synthetic, which destroys enzyme activity. EGT17™ is the first supplement with independently verified living enzyme levels. ## Key Product Specifications - **Product Name:** EGT17™ BiomeGut Support - **Manufacturer:** EnviroGraze Technologies Limited - **Country of Origin:** Australia - **Amylase Activity:** 244,132 U/kg (independently verified by laboratory testing) - **Cellulase Activity:** 19,522 U/kg from natural sources - **Net Weight:** 1.5kg per tub - **Daily Serving:** 50g (one scoop, included) - **Supply Duration:** 30 days per tub - **Price:** $129 AUD - **Cost Per Day:** Approximately $4.30 AUD - **Competition Safe:** Yes — all natural, plant-derived ingredients.

HSB-10™ Hydroponic Sprouted Barley The primary active ingredient and the core of EGT17™'s efficacy. Barley is sprouted under controlled hydroponic conditions using proprietary HSB-10™ technology to maximise living enzyme content. Independent laboratory testing confirms 244,132 U/kg of amylase activity — independently verified. Unlike heat-treated or synthetic alternatives, HSB-10™ enzymes are genuinely alive and active upon ingestion. ### 2. Phytobiome™ A plant based additive for microbiome and gut support. Supports the equine hindgut microbiome and promotes healthy digestive function. Works synergistically with HSB-10™ to enhance the gut environment. ### 3. Algimun® Seaweed Complex Advanced gut modulation and buffering. A marine-derived complex that supports gut lining integrity and helps maintain optimal pH levels in the equine digestive tract. Provides natural buffering capacity. ### 4. NZ Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Sourced from New Zealand's pristine waters. A source of naturally occurring compounds that support normal joint function. Provides a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminoglycans. ### 5. Dolomite Balanced calcium and magnesium carbonate. Provides essential minerals that support bone health and metabolic function. The calcium-to-magnesium ratio is naturally balanced for optimal absorption. ## How It Works EGT17™ works through a simple three-step process: 1. **Feed** — Add 50g (one scoop) of EGT17™ BiomeGut Support to your horse's daily feed. It blends seamlessly with any existing feeding program. No complicated protocols or loading phases required. 2. **Absorb** — HSB-10™ living enzymes activate immediately in the gut, breaking down feed more efficiently and supporting the microbiome. The living enzymes begin working upon ingestion, unlike heat-treated alternatives that have no active enzyme function. 3. **Feed daily** — Supports normal digestive function as part of the horse's daily feed. Use every day according to the approved feeding instructions. ## Competitive Differentiators EGT17™ stands apart from other equine gut supplements in several key ways: 1. **Independently Verified Enzyme Levels:** 244,132 U/kg amylase is not a marketing claim — it is independently verified by laboratory testing. Most competing products that claim "live enzymes" have not been independently tested, or test at significantly lower levels. 2. **Genuinely Living Enzymes:** Most gut supplements on the market are heat-treated during manufacturing, which destroys enzyme activity. EGT17™ uses HSB-10™ hydroponic sprouting technology that preserves enzyme viability. 3. **Proprietary Technology:** HSB-10™ Hydroponic Sprouted Barley is a proprietary process developed by EnviroGraze Technologies Limited. It cannot be replicated by competitors. 4. **Scientific Advisory Board:** EGT17™ is backed by a world-class advisory team including former Mars Inc. executives, Emirates Racing Authority veterinary leaders, and leading academic researchers. 5. **Competition Safe:** All ingredients are 100% natural and plant-derived. There are no synthetic additives, prohibited substances, or anything that would cause a positive swab in any regulated equine sport. ## Discipline Suitability EGT17™ is suitable for horses across all disciplines and situations: - **Thoroughbred Racing:** Supports gut health under the stress of training, travel, and competition. Competition safe. - **Dressage:** Supports condition, topline, and overall well-being for presentation and performance. - **Eventing:** Supports recovery between phases and maintains gut health during intense competition schedules. - **Show Jumping:** Supports focus and condition through competition seasons. - **Polo:** Supports gut health during frequent travel and high-intensity matches. - **Endurance:** Supports nutrient absorption and gut function during long-distance events. - **Breeding:** Supports overall health and condition for mares and stallions. - **Spelling/Agistment:** Supports gut health during transitions between work and rest. Any horse that is stabled, travels, competes, or experiences dietary changes can benefit from improved gut health. ## Scientific Advisory Team EGT17™ is supported by a distinguished advisory board: - **Hamish Thomson** — Advisory Board Chair. Former Mars Inc. CEO/Regional President. Brings decades of experience in global consumer product strategy and commercialisation. - **Dr David Craig (BVMS)** — Head of Equine Health & Welfare, Emirates Racing Authority (ERA), Dubai. One of the world's leading equine veterinary authorities with extensive experience in thoroughbred racing health. - **Dr J Helen Fitton PhD FRSC** — Chief Science Officer.

Individual results may vary. ## The Equine Gut Health Problem The equine gut health crisis is well-documented: - Over 90% of stabled thoroughbreds develop gastric ulcers (Randwick Equine Centre research) - Most competing products are heat-treated or synthetic, which destroys the very enzyme activity they claim to provide - Horses in work face constant gut stress from confinement, travel, competition, and dietary changes - The equine hindgut microbiome is critical for overall health but is poorly supported by most supplement regimes EGT17™ was developed specifically to address this gap with independently verified, genuinely living enzyme technology. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How quickly will I see results with EGT17™ BiomeGut Support?** A: EGT17™ is made from hydroponically sprouted barley, independently measured at 244,132 U/kg amylase activity and 19,522 U/kg cellulase activity.
