ABOUT HEALTH FOOD SYMMETRY™

About our Parent Company

Health Food Symmetry™ began its journey in March 2020, with the goal of manufacturing a new option of dietary fibre for the food industry from sugarcane. Why sugarcane? It could be because sugarcane actually has a strong history of health benefits when the whole plant is considered and not just the sugar.

Health Food Symmetry™ manufacturing process produces functional prebiotic fibre that maintains the integrity of the phytonutrients in the source plant. The process is chemical-free and produces a product that is high in bio-actives.

What is PhyteQuine™

A truly unique prebiotic, PhyteQuine is a high-quality supplement for gut health in horses. Research has shown that introducing a prebiotic into your horse’s diet has improved performance, so we developed high-quality horse supplements for gut health in horses.    

Made from freshly harvested sugarcane, the sugar is separated out, and the fibrous component is dried and milled to a powder. PhyteQuine aims to support healthy bowel function by restoring digestion and microbiome health. It is the only horse prebiotic with uniform bacterial fermentation & preservation of microbiome diversity, making it arguably the best prebiotic for horses.

Additionally, feedback to date has indicated that placing a horse on a gut health optimiser that offers continual maintenance for digestive health rather than reactive symptom treatment (pH buffers for stomach acid or acid production modifiers) will result in significant cost savings.

PhyteQuine’s health benefits can only be counted as multifarious!

Note: PhyteQuine™ is a “Functional Supplement”, delivering additional and enhanced benefits over and above basic nutritional value.

This means that PhyteQuine supports “MICROBIOME – DIGESTION – NUTRITION””.

FAQs

What are horse supplements and prebiotics?

Supplements are added to a horse’s feed when additional nutrients are needed to boost their health. They can come in many forms, but PhyteQuine comes in dry pellets. They are not medication, but rather they foster good health in a horse. 

A prebiotic is a type of fibre that cannot be digested in the stomach or small intestine, feeding the microbiome in a horse’s hindgut and supporting fibre digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall horse gut health.

What makes PhyteQuine different from other supplements?

Our horse prebiotic supplements are unique from any other on the market. Using 95% virgin sugarcane prebiotic fibres, our Australian-made horse gut supplements are made from insoluble, fermentable, mega-grass prebiotic fibre that optimises the health of the entire digestive tract and strengthens bones. This is different to other prebiotic supplements where fermentation begins in the foregut and stomach which could be detrimental to horses.

Does my horse need prebiotics?

Not every horse needs probiotics to supplement their health, just like not every human needs multivitamins! If your horse has a healthy, balanced diet, they may not need supplements for general health.. But they can act as a way to enhance your horse’s regular diet or enhance their overall health.  

Gut imbalances are a key reason behind various conditions and diseases in horses, including:

  • Poor hoof, coat, and skin quality
  • Bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Hypersensitivity to allergens
  • Equine grass sickness
  • Equine metabolic syndrome
  • Colitis
  • Laminitis

These microbiome imbalances are caused by a variety of reasons. Age, diet, antibiotics, pathogens, and stress are some key factors. As horses get older (19+ years), they can lose microbiome diversity in the hindgut. Performance horses are also quite susceptible to hindgut issues due to the stressors of performing and travel. These are both issues that prebiotics would help mitigate.

How do prebiotics help horses?

The hindgut is home to trillions of micro-organisms that support the digestion of dietary fibre and ensure your horse has ample amounts of energy. A healthy hindgut is essential for the overall health and well-being of your horse, and science has proven supplements help your horse in 6 key ways:

  1. Enhanced tolerance to high-grain diets
  2. Enhanced digestion in the hindgut
  3. Enhanced insulin sensitivity
  4. Enhanced digestion in senior horses
  5. Ease diarrhoea in foals
  6. Tolerance to against sand colic

Will PhyteQuine affect any other medication my horse is on?

Not at all. Our supplements are entirely made from natural sugarcane fibre with no added preservatives or chemical stimulants. It is also non-gelling, making it safe to use with a variety of medications. 

Is PhyteQuine easy to use?

Yes! You can mix these pellet supplements with any food your horse is currently eating, wet or dry. We recommend a standard dosage of 40g per day (20g twice daily) for best results. This is recommended for horses who:

  • Are in full training and competition.
  • Are stabled or who have reduced access to pasture.
  • Are foals being weaned or mares who are pregnant and lactating.

Though these are the recommended doses, if you go a little bit over do not worry. Our studies show that up to 300g daily has no ill effects.

How long will it take before I see the results?

When it comes to supplements, results always vary. It is normal for supplements to take several months to a year before they start showing results. While that does seem like a long time, the supplement is working to repair and rebuild to enhance your horse’s well-being.

Chris

Please see below for the Kyogle Kid race result in Ballina on 23/03/2026—a true testimonial to PhyteQuine. The stable has experienced proven success and improvement since using the Gut Health Supplement when feeding a high-energy grain diet, significantly reducing the risk of Gut Ulcers.

Additionally, our fillies and mares have shown a notable reduction in tying up since introducing the supplement. This further highlights the positive impact on overall equine health and performance.

Our horses will be featured in the documentary “Darby: In a Lifetime,” further highlighting their achievements and the success of our program.

I have 2 horses currently using the above product, Zambezi River and a 2yo filly by Highland Reel x Cruz By.

Zambezi River has been on the product since he first came into the stable. He is doing very well and is a picture of health.

The Highland Reel filly was a bad doer but has responded well with this product and is eating a lot better.

I have been pleased with both horses.

I have attached some photos of droppings of Zambezi River, ( 1st attachment) and also of Vindication. “great green colour, no blood to be seen (no ulcers)”

I started using Phytequine for my horses after my daughter, who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, noticed a dramatic improvement in her health after using the human version of Phytequine (KFibre). I ordered my first batch of Phytequine in early September 2023 and have been using it ever since. In early October I purchased a stock horse mare who was in terrible condition, when she arrived she was very underweight, had a dull coat, was so anxious she could not be hard tied and was basically hysterical and refusing food etc. In desperation I gave her a B Vitamin injection (she broke the lead rope and jumped all over me when I tied her up to administer the injection) and I also gave her some stress paste and had to coax her to eat with molasses. At feed time she was anxious, pawing the ground, pacing around, kicking her feed bin over and basically a very unhappy horse that was terrified of any human contact. I had to secure her feed bin because it was constantly being upended and kicked around with constant pawing at the ground.

I immediately started her on my herd nutrition plan to which I have added 20g of Phytequine twice a day for each horse in my herd. Vegas has been on my nutrition plan for just under 3 months (after picture) which is very simple, it includes Balanced Equine supplements, Lupins, Speedi beet, salt, toxin binder, small amount of cod liver oil and an in feed product called Think Free Liquid for insect control. In a space of less than 3 months Vegas is a new horse, she looks amazing, her coat is beautiful (I do not rug as our climate is way too hot in FNQ) but more importantly she has settled right down, she eats well, she no longer paws the ground at feed time and I do not need to secure her feed bin, she has stopped pacing and being agitated and overall is a much happier horse. I cannot believe the difference in Vegas, she is like a new animal and I am sure she feels better as well as looks better.

I love Phytequine, all my horses are on this product and have been since early September, I am a big believer in the importance of gut health and of course Vegas has been properly fed and looked after but I am sure that Phytequine has had a lot to do with this success based on the difference my daughter said the human version made to her gut health.

I believe Phytequine is a good value for money product, I like that it is locally made and owned and it certainly is a daily inclusion in my diets and I have recommended it to others.

This is the best stuff. My nervous rodeo mare has completely changed since I started PhyteQuine. My last rodeo she headbutted me in the face from nerves, has refused to enter the arena for 12 months.

Since we’ve started PhyteQuine we now enter the arena calmly, placed 4th two weeks ago, today she placed 1st.

We purchased from Sargents!

I would just like to thank you so much for suggesting I put my horse who suffers stomach ulcers on PhyteQuine™ . She was scoped and had ulcers present in 2017 and after initial treatments with omeprazol, I tried various ulcer preventatives which seemed to only work for a whlie. She has now been on PhyteQuine™ for approximately 12 months and a recent scope has shown her to be clear of ulcers and a healthy gut. Her anxiety levels have definetly dropped and the distention she once had in the flank area is no longer there. I give her a heaped tablespoon in a small feed morning and night, with no other ulcer meds and this seems to be working a treat.

Horse – Incredible C

I first started to add the product to Ali’s feed along with the rest of her stablemates Christmas Eve, 2022 Since then, I have noticed a distinct difference in her stable manner, travel habits, and general work routine She travels much calmer in the truck now and is extremely relaxed in the stable at all times prior to this, she used to be quite agitated whilst travelling Her performance in the competition ring this year has been nothing short of consistent and quite outstanding with her, placing in all her championship events that she has been in this year.

Janie Carcary

I started both my horses on PhyteQuine a few weeks ago and have noticed a difference in their behaviour they seem calmer and happier.
My stallion at a dressage competition would normally be walking the box by the second day of being locked up this time he did not , he seemed happier and more relaxed.
Both their coats seem shinier too.
Highly recommend this product for what it does on the inside in the gut as well as what we see on the outside.

Improvement was obvious!

I had two client horses which were easily agitated and unable to add weight. After three and a half weeks of PhyteQuine these horses were gaining weight, calmer, easier to work, heads down in the working pen. The improvement is really obvious. Now all our horses are on PhyteQuine.” Eric Wisehart is a professional cutting horse trainer and competitor and now PhyteQuine fan.
