The papain-and-pectin engine inside the papaya

Formula 1 attributes the supplement's effect to two compounds naturally present in papaya. Papain is described as "a powerful proteolytic enzyme and natural anti-inflammatory" that breaks down stubborn protein fibers, reduces swelling and irritation, and supports healthy tissue renewal. Pectin "forms a soothing gel when it contacts stomach acid," coating and protecting the stomach lining and buffering acid irritation. Papaya also supplies beta-carotene (a Vitamin A precursor), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, which the brand ties to immune function and gut-lining repair.

How Stomach Soother works in the gut

The pairing is the point: per Formula 1's own explanation, the "pectin + papain combination soothes and supports healing" of the stomach lining, while the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds calm irritated tissue and help keep the gut and respiratory tract in a healthy inflammation balance. The brand says consistent use supports better GI regularity, eases ulcer-related discomfort, and reduces colic risk — and that many users report "better, calmer performance" once their horse's stomach feels right.

Who it is for, and the feeding rate
This is aimed at horses prone to ulcers, colic, picky appetite, or general digestive imbalance — including barrel racers, haulers, and other performance horses whose stress and travel tax the stomach. The standard feeding rate is 2 to 4 oz daily, top-dressed or given by oral syringe, which makes the 32 oz bottle a roughly 8-to-16-day starter and the gallon sizes the value choice for ongoing daily use.

Pricing, auto-ship, and the guarantee
The 32 oz Stomach Soother starts at $35.00, while the gallon program starts at $89.00 with 2-gallon (save 5%) and 4-gallon (save 10%) multipacks. Formula 1 Equine also offers a "Subscribe to Auto-Ship & Save 15%" option for horses on a steady regimen, and backs purchases with a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. A companion Calming Paste (45ml) single-dose gel tube is available from $17.00 for travel and show days.

What exactly is Formula 1 Papaya Stomach Soother?
It is a liquid gut-health supplement made from 100% pure papaya, with no added sugars or fillers. Formula 1 Equine designed it to soothe, protect, and support healing of the stomach lining and gut. It is sold as Stomach Soother in a 32 oz bottle and in 1-, 2-, and 4-gallon sizes.
What does it do for my horse?
The label and product page list four targeted jobs: Gastric Pain Relief, Stomach Acid Buffering, A Healthy Appetite, and a balanced Inflammatory Response. Formula 1 says consistent use helps relieve stomach pain and discomfort, supports horses prone to ulcers and colic, and helps normalize digestion. Many owners report better, calmer performance once the stomach is comfortable.
How is papaya supposed to help the stomach?
Papaya naturally contains papain, which Formula 1 describes as a powerful proteolytic enzyme and natural anti-inflammatory that breaks down protein fibers and reduces swelling and irritation. It also contains pectin, which forms a soothing gel on contact with stomach acid to coat and protect the stomach lining and buffer acid irritation. Together the brand calls the pectin-plus-papain pairing the core of how the product soothes and supports healing.
What are the ingredients?
The active ingredient is pure papaya, sourced for its natural papain enzyme and pectin. The brand emphasizes there are no added sugars and no fillers. Papaya also naturally supplies beta-carotene (a Vitamin A precursor), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.
How much do I feed per day?
The standard feeding rate is 2 to 4 oz daily. It can be top-dressed on feed or given by oral syringe. At that rate, the 32 oz bottle covers roughly 8 to 16 days, which is why owners feeding daily often move to the gallon sizes.
How much does it cost?
The 32 oz Stomach Soother starts at $35.00 USD. The gallon program starts at $89.00 USD, with a 2-gallon option that saves 5% and a 4-gallon option that saves 10%. Subscribing to Auto-Ship saves an additional 15%.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Formula 1 Equine backs purchases with a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, stated across the site. This lets owners trial the supplement on a sensitive or picky horse with low risk.
Can it help a horse with ulcers?
Formula 1 positions Stomach Soother for horses prone to ulcers, colic, or digestive imbalance, and says the pectin-plus-papain combination soothes and supports healing of the stomach lining. It is a natural daily-support supplement rather than a veterinary drug. For diagnosed or severe ulcers, work with your veterinarian alongside any supplement program.
Is this the same brand as Formula 1 Noni?
Yes. The product was marketed under the Formula 1 Noni name, and the old site formula1noni.com now redirects to formula1equine.com. The company still describes itself with the line, 'At Formula 1 Noni, we are horse owners.' The papaya Stomach Soother sits alongside their noni-based Blue Label, Gold Label, and other formulas.
Who makes Formula 1 Equine and how do I contact them?
The maker is Formula 1 Equine. General sales run through 855-ONE-NONI and [email protected]. Sales Manager Louis Nunez can be reached at 559-302-7886 or [email protected], and Operations Manager Jeff Swenson at 801-319-2812 or [email protected].
Why is it good for barrel racers and performance horses?
Hauling, competition stress, and irregular feeding all increase stomach acid exposure and digestive upset in performance horses. A buffered, soothed stomach supports steady appetite and focus, which is why barrel racers and other timed-event horses use it. Formula 1 notes many users report 'better, calmer performance' when their horse is feeling their best.
Does it contain sugar?
No. Formula 1 emphasizes the product is made from pure papaya with no added sugar and no fillers. That matters for horses that are metabolically sensitive or easily wound up by sugary feed additives.
What sizes can I buy?
Stomach Soother comes in a 32 oz bottle (from $35.00) and in 1-gallon, 2-gallon (save 5%), and 4-gallon (save 10%) sizes starting at $89.00. The 32 oz is a good trial or single-horse size, while the gallons are the value choice for daily feeding or multiple horses. A 1 oz pump for gallon bottles is also sold separately for $6.00.
Is it natural, or is it a drug?
It is an all-natural feed supplement, not a pharmaceutical. Its action comes from compounds naturally present in papaya — the papain enzyme, pectin, and antioxidant vitamins — rather than synthetic acid suppressors. That makes it suitable for long-term daily support.
Does papaya offer benefits beyond the stomach?
Yes. Formula 1 highlights papaya's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, which it says help calm irritated tissue and support healthy inflammation balance in both the gut lining and respiratory tract. The beta-carotene, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E in papaya are tied to immune function, skin and coat health, and tissue repair.
How should I store it and start a new horse on it?
Keep the liquid sealed and out of direct heat, and shake or stir before use since it is a pure-fruit product. Most owners introduce it gradually within the 2 to 4 oz daily range, often starting at the lower end and increasing as the horse adjusts. Pair it with consistent turnout and forage for the best digestive results.
What other products does Formula 1 Equine offer?
Beyond Stomach Soother, the line includes noni-based Blue Label and Gold Label, Xcellerator, F1 Joint, F1 Mag, F1 Hoof & Mane, F1 Calming, a Calming Paste (45ml) single-dose gel tube from $17.00, and topical Flex Liniment and FlexIce Liniment in 16 oz sizes. This lets owners build a full daily-support program from one barn-trusted brand.
