Have you ever dreamed of a supplement for your horse which could deliver whole gut support, energy without anxiety, essential electrolytes and antioxidant vitamins, without any added fillers, flavors, or preservatives? Banana Feeds Australia, makers of B-Complete, have created just such a supplement, or rather, Nature did. We simply harnessed the power of the whole green banana and put it to work for your equine athlete or companion.

B-Complete is made from 100% Australian-grown dried green bananas. Single ingredient. No other additives. We utilize the flesh, skin, stem, and flower end, as every part of the banana has a unique concentration and distribution of nutrients.

Tina Potter, Breeder and Vice President of the American Trakehner Association, comments on a horse which she has currently in training:

“From poor condition and no muscling in December 2023, to willing youngster, developing well in February 2024, B-Complete has transformed his conditioning, health, and rehab! We are incredibly grateful!! He is now getting ready for a performance career after being labeled ‘unrideable’.”

It’s all about Gut Health

Essentially, all body functions and systems begin at the gut. The complex structures of the digestive system break down energy and nutrients from food and distribute it to the body through the circulatory system. This is why gut health is so important.

Green bananas contain a specialized fiber which nourishes the hindgut microbiome through the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA’s), namely acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These SCFA’s provide safe energy to your horse without the burden of extra sugars and starches, which, in excess, can lead to excitable behavior, laminitis, ulcers, metabolic issues, and generally poor performance.

Green bananas also contain pectin (concentrated in the peel). Pectin is a well-known component which may contribute to a healthy stomach lining through its acid-binding potential in the glandular region of the horse’s stomach.

Digesting moderate to high amounts of sugars and starches is often unavoidable in equine diets (and it’s not just grains: even fresh pasture and grass hay can be quite high in sugars!) which can easily lead to an acidic stomach environment. When the stomach has “had enough”, or, it cannot digest the incoming simple carbohydrates at a rate to equalize output, excess carbohydrates can spill over into the cecum (hindgut), resulting in raised acid levels within this space. When this happens, the billions of delicate microbiota (beneficial bacteria) of the hindgut are put at risk of harm, even death, because these friendly little guys are better adapted to fiber digestion than breaking down sugars and starches.

Training, performance, stalling, travel, breeding, and temperature extremes present additional stresses commonplace to the modern horse. Environmental stressors such as these may also have a negative effect on hindgut microbial populations as well as stomach Ph.

B-Complete offers your horse the building blocks for a healthy stomach and hindgut through a unique approach to all-natural and highly effective whole food nutritive care, so you can nourish your equine partner with the purity of Nature’s bounty. Nothing else.
