KOLICTONIC 🍂NOVEMBER'S 20% SALE *Gut-calming, spasm-settling, gas-soothing

Colic is a traumatic event for horses, and recovery can take time. Horses have long memories, and the stress of a colic episode can leave a lasting impression. Supporting their digestive system both during and post-colic can be truly beneficial to help them recover, both physically and emotionally.

Functional support for recovery

KolicTonic is formulated with specific herbs that work to support the digestive system while addressing the underlying stress and imbalances that may have contributed to the episode. By nurturing the gut and providing essential nutrients, this blend supports your horse’s journey back to comfort and balance.

For the latest research and updates, see our main A-Z Condition/Colic page in the Advice Centre above.

🌿 Ideal for horses who…

• Have experienced mild spasmodic, gas, or stress-related colic episodes and need gentle digestive support.
• Show signs of digestive tension — flank-watching, belly tightness, or recurrent low-grade gas discomfort.
• Are recovering post-colic and need help settling the gut’s rhythm and restoring natural motility.
• React to stress with gut upset, tension, or sensitivity in the hindgut.

⚠️ Not suitable for horses who…

• Are showing acute, severe colic symptoms — always contact your vet immediately.
• Are pregnant or nursing mares (due to hormonally active botanicals).
• Are currently on sedative or CNS-active medication without veterinary oversight.
• Have chronically sluggish circulation or low blood pressure.

Comparisons - which blend?

KolicTonic, SiboCARE, or GutBitters?

Because colic-type discomfort can have different root causes, it’s important to choose the right support:

→ KolicTonic – for acute or recent digestive tension, spasmodic colic, or gas discomfort. Provides short-term soothing and gut-calming support.

→ SiboCARE – for ongoing hindgut imbalance, bloating, or bacterial overgrowth once the acute episode has passed.

→ GutBitters – for horses prone to sluggish digestion or mild spring/autumn grass transitions where the issue is more about digestive tone than spasm.

If your horse’s discomfort returns or feels linked to stress, see our StressTonic or AdrenaVIVE for nervous–gut resilience support.

Each herb in KolicTonic works in synergy to calm digestive spasms, soothe tension, and help restore the gut’s natural motility.

Covering all three key angles of colic and gut tension:

• Spasmolytic & carminative
• Mucosal protection
• Neuro-gastro calming

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

Composition Glossary

1. Althaea officinalis Radix – Rich in soothing mucilage that coats and comforts the gastrointestinal lining, helping maintain a calm, stable gut environment after spasm or irritation.
2. Matricaria chamomilla – Traditionally valued for its antispasmodic and calming properties. Supports smooth muscle relaxation, helping to ease gut tension while promoting emotional relaxation.
3. Foeniculum vulgare – Gentle carminative herb that supports natural gas dispersion and digestive rhythm. Encourages steady peristalsis to reduce discomfort linked with trapped gas.
4. Melissa officinalis – A dual-action botanical that soothes both the gut and the nervous system. Helps regulate digestive tone while easing stress-related tightness.
5. Mentha piperita – Cooling and aromatic, supports normal intestinal motility and comfort. Its volatile oils help calm the digestive tract during post-colic recovery.
6. Scutellaria laterifolia – Gentle nervine that supports relaxation of the enteric nervous system, complementing the gut-soothing botanicals to maintain calm and ease.
7. Valeriana officinalis – Renowned antispasmodic, naturally supporting relaxation and helping settle the stress response, aiding physical and emotional calm following digestive upset.

Fussy Eater?

Horses sometimes have their own opinions (and strong tastebuds!), so now and then a new blend might need a little extra encouragement. This doesn’t reflect the quality or efficacy of the product, but rather their natural instinct towards new flavours.

Advisories

• Designed for use during or following digestive tension or mild colic episodes to help settle intestinal spasms and ease post-episode discomfort.
• Feed alongside ad-lib quality forage and ensure constant access to fresh water to maintain gut motility and hydration.
• Introduce gradually at the first signs of digestive tension, and continue for several days post-episode to help stabilise normal digestive function.
• May be safely paired with SiboCARE as part of a broader digestive recovery protocol.
• Allow a minimum 4–6 hour window between feeding KolicTonic and any veterinary-prescribed antispasmodic or sedative medication.
• Recommended feeding duration: short-term use for up to 10 consecutive days, or occasional use as required.

Contraindications

• Not suitable for pregnant or nursing mares due to hormonally active botanicals ( Valeriana and Verbena ).
• Use caution if the horse is receiving sedative, tranquillising, or central nervous system–active medications, as mild additive effects may occur.
• Use with care in horses with low blood pressure or sluggish circulation, due to the presence of Valeriana and Scutellaria.
• Discontinue use 48-hours before competition if regulations restrict the use of Valeriana officinalis.
