Why Choose BioClay Plus for Horse GI Support?
Equine BioClay Plus Paste is the only adsorbent bioactive clay supplement for horses that also includes probiotics, prebiotics, L-glutamine, and electrolytes. When more than just a sponge is needed, provide complete horse gastrointestinal support with BioClay Plus Paste.
How Equine BioClay Plus Paste Works
1. Toxin Absorption with Smectite Clay for Horses
Di-octahedral smectite clay works like a magnet, by sticking to, or adsorbing, bacteria and toxins, and escorting them out of the body. Di-octahedral smectite clay removes toxins effectively without disrupting normal digestive processes, such as nutrient absorption.
2. Microbiome Balance: Prebiotics & Probiotics
The probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast strain supported by peer-reviewed research, supports a healthy microbial population in the GI tract, and is effective even during antibiotic therapy. Added prebiotics feed and support the equine gut microbiome, which becomes compromised during periods of distress.
3. Gut Lining Repair: L-Glutamine
The amino acid L-glutamine is the preferred energy source of the GI tract cells and helps support the healing and repair of the digestive tract lining.
4. Rapid Rehydration: Chelated Electrolytes
Added chelated electrolytes are rapidly absorbed to promote proper hydration after periods of digestive distress.

How to administer Equine BioClay Plus Paste
Complete guide for administering Equine BioClay Plus Paste to horses showing signs of digestive distress
1
Identify Need
Administer Equine BioClay Plus Paste at the first signs of digestive distress and discontinue use when manure has returned to a normal consistency.

Determine Dosage by Age Group
Calculate appropriate dosage based on horse age and weight:
- Adult Horses: 80 – 160 cc (1 – 2 tubes) once or twice daily
- Weanlings: 50 – 80 cc (1/2 – 1 tube) once or twice daily

Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes BioClay Plus Paste Different From Other Horse Clay Supplements?
Equine BioClay Plus Paste combines di-octahedral smectite clay with the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii, prebiotics, L-glutamine and electrolytes — whereas most clay supplements only remove toxins.
Why is Di-Octahedral Smectite Clay for Horses Special?
Many other clay supplements for horses use bentonite or kaolin clay, but research has shown that di-octahedral smectite clay is the most effective at targeting and binding toxins in the equine gut. Di-octahedral smectite clay has the strongest adsorptive properties (i.e. it binds most effectively to the bad guys), while also having zero unwanted side effects, such as interfering with normal absorption of beneficial nutrients.
How Quickly Does Equine BioClay Plus Paste Work?
Many horses show signs of improvement within 24 hours of the first tube of BioClay Plus Paste, but we recommend continuing use of BioClay Paste until manure returns to a normal consistency. Every horse and case is individual.
Can I Give BioClay Plus Paste to Foals and Weanlings?
Yes! Dosages are adjusted for average body weights. Administer 20 – 40 cc to foals once or twice daily, and 40 – 80 cc to weanlings once or twice daily.
Is it Safe to Use During Antibiotic Treatment?
Yes! The probiotic used is a yeast strain, Saccharomyces boulardii, which withstands antibiotics, helping to maintain and replenish healthy gut microbes while the smectite clay adsorbs harmful toxins and pathogens.
How Should I Store Equine BioClay Plus Paste?
Store tubes in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity conditions.
How Often Can I Give BioClay Plus Paste to my horse?
Administer 1 – 2 tubes (80 – 160 cc) up to twice daily at first signs of digestive upset. Discontinue use once manure normalizes, and transition to Equine Probiotic Paste for at least two weeks.
