As a dedicated horse owner, you carefully select what goes into your horse’s feed bucket.

Designed to optimize nutrient digestion and absorption, Uptake Technology™ helps your horse look, feel, and perform at their best.
Constant Comfort® Technology: Keeping Your Horse’s Stomach Happy
What Sets Uptake Technology™ Apart?
A horse’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients is fundamental to their health and performance. Uptake Technology™ enhances this process through three powerful components:
- Probiotics: Promote a healthy hindgut, boosting fiber digestion and maintaining digestive balance.
- Digestive Enzymes: Break down feed into smaller, more absorbable nutrients, ensuring your horse benefits fully from their diet.
- Phospholipids: Improve fat digestion, offering a more efficient energy source to sustain performance and overall condition.
In addition to Uptake Technology™, Tribute Equine Nutrition also added Constant Comfort® Technology, featuring seaweed-derived calcium to help maintain proper stomach pH and support gastric health with every bite.
Proven Benefits Backed by Science
Research from the **Tribute Equine Research and Innovation Center** demonstrates the effectiveness of Uptake Technology™. Adding lysolecithin (a key phospholipid) to a high-fat diet was shown to enhance fat digestibility by 10%. Here’s what that means for your horse:
- Performance Horses: Improved energy efficiency leads to greater stamina and faster recovery.
- Hard Keepers: Enhanced fat absorption supports healthy weight maintenance without increasing feed.
- Senior Horses: Optimized nutrient absorption promotes vitality and helps maintain body condition.
With Uptake Technology™, every bite works harder for your horse. Give them the nutrition they deserve with Tribute’s smart, science-driven approach to equine health.
Why Seaweed-Derived Calcium is Essential for Your Horse
Seaweed-derived calcium is a natural, highly bioavailable source of calcium that offers numerous benefits for equine health:
- Enhances Digestive Health – Acts as a natural buffer for stomach acid, reducing the risk of gastric discomfort and ulcers. This makes it especially valuable for performance horses or those prone to gastric sensitivity.
- Promotes pH Balance – Functions as a natural antacid, stabilizing stomach acidity to support optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Provides Sustained Release – Unlike conventional calcium sources, seaweed-derived calcium delivers a gradual release for continuous support throughout the digestive process.
- Supports Bone Development in Growing Horses – Supplies essential minerals to aid proper skeletal growth and strength, ensuring a strong foundation for a healthy future.
With Constant Comfort Technology®, you can trust that your horse is getting more out of every meal, staying comfortable, and performing their best.
