Camelina Plus was veterinarian blended to support the stomach during training, travel, stress, recovery, and daily life — helping ulcer-prone horses stay more comfortable, consistent, and resilient over time.
For many horse owners, ulcers aren't a one-time issue. It becomes a cycle.
You treat the symptoms. Things improve. You finally feel relieved.
Then weeks or months later:
And suddenly you're right back where you started.
Not because you failed. Because many horses never stop experiencing the stress that made them vulnerable in the first place.
live with gastric ulcers. The signs usually show up in behaviour long before a scope confirms it.
Eight behavioural and physiological markers documented in horses with recurring gastric irritation.
Tap the signs your horse shows. We'll show you whether Camelina Plus is a fit.
One of the biggest misconceptions about ulcers is that once symptoms improve, the problem is behind you. For many horses, it isn't.
Here's what most owners are never told. When omeprazole treatment ends, a condition called Rebound Acid Hypersecretion (RAHS) affects roughly 90% of treated horses. The stomach, having had acid production suppressed for weeks, overcompensates — producing more acid than before. If the underlying cause hasn't been addressed, new ulcers form quickly.
And the underlying cause, in most ulcer-prone horses, is the same set of daily stressors that triggered the original ulcers — and they don't stop when treatment does.
Combined with rebound acid, the gut stays vulnerable long after the obvious symptoms fade. The horse seems fine for a while — until something stressful happens and the cycle starts again.
30-day internal trial · 10 horses
5 of 10 horses reverted within weeks of stopping Plus — appetite drops, weight loss, fecal water recurrence, one gas colic. When owners restarted Plus, improvements returned.
It should be helping the stomach stay more supported and resilient during the very conditions that tend to trigger recurring discomfort in the first place.
That's why Camelina Plus was developed — a veterinarian-blended formula designed to help support gastric health during ongoing periods of stress, training, travel, competition, recovery, and everyday digestive strain.
For horses prone to ulcers, supporting the gut consistently matters just as much as addressing the symptoms themselves.
Camelina Plus combines four veterinarian-selected botanicals that work together to support the gut through the very conditions that put it at risk. Three jobs. Four ingredients. Each chosen against published research.
Stage 01
Cold-pressed camelina oil — the omega base.
Camelina oil is ~39% omega-3 with a 2:1 omega-3:6 ratio. Most feed-room oils — corn, canola, soybean — are the opposite: heavy in omega-6, which is pro-inflammatory. Camelina shifts the balance the other way and gives the gut something it can actually use to calm down.
A 28-day equine trial confirmed turmeric supplements were well-tolerated with no worsening of gastric ulcers (St. Blanc et al., 2022). Ginger altered inflammatory cytokine expression and improved post-exercise recovery in horses (Liburt et al., 2009).
Stage 02
Licorice root — the mucus layer.
The stomach has a natural mucus layer that protects it from acid. When that layer breaks down, lesions follow. Licorice root enhances mucus secretion and stabilizes epithelial cells.
In a randomized study in donkeys, licorice extract significantly reduced NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in 7 days (Ahmadnejad et al., 2022).
Stage 03
Black pepper — the bioavailability lock.
Most equine turmeric supplements waste their turmeric — without help, it passes through the gut largely unused. Black pepper (piperine) increases curcumin bioavailability by ~2,000%.
Piperine + curcumin co-administration produces a ~20× increase in bioavailability (Shoba et al., 1998). Formulation design, not filler.
Fewer setbacks
Through the same training, travel and recovery cycles that used to trigger relapse.
More consistency
Day-to-day mood, appetite, manure and topline — without the stop-start of paste cycles.
Better recovery
A gut that bounces back faster from competition, hauling, and seasonal change.
What Camelina Plus is NOT
An antacid. Antacids suppress acid production — and when you stop, acid often rebounds (the same RAHS pattern that affects horses coming off omeprazole). Camelina Plus works differently: supporting the gut's natural defenses, not buffering them.
Dr. Amanda Nascimento didn't set out to build a supplement company. She earned her DVM in Brazil, her PhD in immunology at the University of Saskatchewan, and board certification in veterinary toxicology — then spent years at Health Canada reviewing the safety, efficacy, and quality of the drugs vets prescribe to horses.
Then she got tired of telling owners their only option was an $800/month prescription cycle.
So she built Camelina Plus against the published equid research — and put the whole formula through Health Canada's Veterinary Health Products program. The same regulator she used to work for.
"My approach is evidence-based but deeply rooted in nature's wisdom. I create products I would feel confident using for my own animals."

Plus is not a replacement for veterinary care. It's the daily layer between vet cycles — for the horse that's prone to relapse, recovering from omeprazole, or working through a stressful season.
We know horse owners have tried things before that promised big results and didn't deliver. Camelina Plus is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee. If it's not the right fit for your horse, email us — we'll refund you. No need to return the open bag.
Cheryl is one of our customers who've explicitly told us they came to Camelina Plus from a Facebook ad — and broke a multi-year omeprazole cycle. Hers is the longest arc we've seen on file.
My mare is very tame, loving, easy-going, and forgiving. So when she first presented as 'cinchy' at age 4, I thought it was saddle fit. I got her professionally saddle fitted. When that didn't solve it, I spent a fortune on regular chiropractor and osteopath treatments.
I knew there was more to it. I eventually had her scoped — sure enough, she had ulcers.
Over the next 9 years she had 3 stomach scopes and 3 full treatments of the very expensive Boehringer Ingelheim product, GastroGuard. Between treatments she'd get intermittent doses of compounded omeprazole, especially before trailering. I was at a loss as to how to help her.
Then I saw your Facebook ad about Camelina Plus and figured I'd try it.
I started the product the end of August and waited 5 weeks. Then on Thanksgiving weekend we trailered an hour from home for a long trail ride.
For the first time in 9 years she did not even think about pulling back when I went to cinch her tied to the trailer. She just stood there waiting to be saddled.
I've gone on a few more trail rides since and she's fine. Almost seems happy to be out on the trail.
Thank you for this phenomenal product. No more omeprazole for us.

"Within 30 days we had almost no recurrence of FWS and a very healthy weight."
"Major reduction in all of his symptoms including his burp tic. He no longer has to use a collar."
"She's clearly walking proof of its effectiveness."
"All ulcer symptoms had completely cleared up by Day 14."
"Ben gained over 40 kg in 4 weeks — averaging 10 kg a week. I have a scale, so the number is accurate."

Yes — that's exactly the situation Plus was designed for. Around 90% of treated horses experience Rebound Acid Hypersecretion (RAHS) when omeprazole ends, producing more acid than before. Plus is designed to support the post-treatment phase and help reduce the frequency or severity of recurring symptoms. Most of the customers who've reported the strongest results came to Plus after multiple omeprazole rounds.
Two main reasons. First, the medication-side reason: ~90% of horses experience Rebound Acid Hypersecretion after coming off omeprazole — the stomach overcompensates and produces more acid than before.
Second, the lifestyle reason: the daily stressors that caused the ulcers (training, travel, confinement, schedule changes) usually don't stop, so the gut continues to be vulnerable. Camelina Plus is designed to support the gut through both.
Three things. It's Health Canada VHP-registered (most equine supplements aren't). It's designed by a board-certified veterinary toxicologist (ABVT) and former Health Canada drug evaluator. And every active ingredient is backed by published equid or cross-mammal research — not just selected for marketing.
It's not an antacid, not a buffering supplement, and not positioned as a treatment replacement. It's designed for ongoing support of horses prone to recurring gastric and digestive issues.
Both. Many horses come to Plus after a treatment cycle, but plenty of owners use it preventatively — for horses prone to recurring issues, horses going into a stressful season, or horses recovering from any kind of dietary or environmental change. The same mechanisms that help support the gut after omeprazole also help support it before symptoms ever appear.
Camelina Plus was designed for any horse vulnerable to recurring gastric or digestive stress. That includes performance horses in active training, rescues with unknown histories, senior horses, hard-keepers, sensitive horses, and any horse that's been through a stressful transition. If your horse fits one of those profiles — or just doesn't quite seem himself — Plus is built for him.
Many horses show signs of gut discomfort without a formal scope diagnosis — girthiness, sensitivity, fecal water, weight loss, behavioral changes. Plus is safe to use preventatively or based on observed symptoms. Some owners scope first; many don't.
Many horses with FWS see substantial or complete resolution within 2–14 weeks on Plus. Some don't respond — when that happens, the underlying cause may be outside what dietary support can address. We'd rather set realistic expectations than overpromise.
Yes. Camelina Plus is safe for metabolically sensitive horses. The ingredients are appropriate for PSSM1, HYPP, Cushing's/PPID, and EMS horses.
Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. Daily, ongoing support is the use case, especially for horses prone to relapse, in active training, or facing seasonal/environmental stress.
Many owners report noticeable behavioral changes within 2–4 weeks (calmer, less girthy, better appetite). Weight and coat changes typically by 4–8 weeks. If you don't see meaningful change by 8 weeks, contact us — most non-responders have other underlying issues that benefit from a vet workup.
No. Camelina Plus is not a pharmaceutical treatment and does not replace veterinary diagnosis or omeprazole. It's designed to support the recovery and maintenance phases — to help reduce the likelihood of relapse and address ongoing factors like inflammation and stress.
Yes. Camelina Plus is designed to layer onto existing programs without interactions with common supplement categories.
