Gastrogard and Calcium Absorption

Postby andy » Sun Jan 14, 2007 8:45 pm

The girlfriend, who is currently in vet school, has mentioned to me that initial research suggests that the active ingredient in Gastrogard prevents calcium absorption in equines.

Anyone else heard anything about this?

You've got my attention. Exactly who did the initial study and where can we see the findings?
