When Banana Feeds Australia launched B-COMPLETE in February 2020, the concept of a supplement made purely from dried green bananas raised plenty of eyebrows. Within a short time, champion thoroughbred trainers, Olympic eventers, world class polo clubs and world roping champions were using it. Today B-COMPLETE is exported to six countries and is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and impactful natural supplements to enter the equine and canine market in years. At The Vet Shed we stock the B-COMPLETE range for horses and dogs alongside the Banana Horse Treats, all from this proudly Queensland-based Australian business.

About Banana Feeds Australia

Banana Feeds Australia is a 100% Australian owned and operated company founded in 2019, with manufacturing facilities based in Cairns, Queensland. The business was developed in partnership with university research facilities and a series of rigorous testing protocols, combining agricultural roots with a genuine commitment to science-backed product development.

The sustainability story behind B-COMPLETE is as compelling as the product itself. The green bananas used in the supplement are sourced from Australian banana growers and were otherwise destined to become agricultural waste. By transforming reject-grade green bananas into a world-class supplement, Banana Feeds Australia has created a genuinely circular supply chain that aligns environmental sustainability with commercial success. The manufacturing facility operates under full GMP principles and all B-COMPLETE products are FeedSafe Accredited. The company has received support from the Fight Food Waste CRC and the Queensland Department of Trade and Investment.

What Makes Green Bananas So Effective

The science behind B-COMPLETE centres on the unique properties of green, unripe bananas, which have a significantly different nutritional and biochemical profile to ripe bananas. Green bananas are exceptionally rich in resistant starch, which passes through the small intestine without being digested and reaches the large intestine where it acts as a prebiotic, selectively feeding beneficial gut microflora. This directly supports the health and diversity of the gut microbiome, which underpins immune function, digestion efficiency, nutrient absorption and broader systemic health.

Beyond resistant starch, green bananas contain a wide spectrum of naturally occurring antioxidants including phenolics, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, tocopherols and flavonoids. These compounds act across multiple pathways to reduce oxidative stress, protect cells from damage and support recovery from the physiological demands of training and competition. Active compounds in green bananas also have documented calming effects, which in performance animals translates to improved trainability, a more settled temperament and better focus during work.

FAQs About Banana Feeds Australia B-COMPLETE

What is B-COMPLETE made from?

B-COMPLETE is made from 100% dried Australian green bananas and nothing else. No fillers, no additives, no artificial ingredients of any kind. The green bananas are sourced from Australian growers, dried and processed at Banana Feeds Australia's Cairns manufacturing facility under GMP principles. The simplicity of the ingredient list is one of the product's defining characteristics and reflects the brand's commitment to a purely natural supplement solution.

Why green bananas specifically? Why not ripe bananas?

Green, unripe bananas have a fundamentally different biochemical composition to ripe ones. The primary active component is resistant starch, which is abundant in green bananas but breaks down into simple sugars as the fruit ripens. Resistant starch reaches the large intestine intact where it acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and supporting microbiome diversity and health. Ripe bananas have largely lost this resistant starch content through the ripening process, making green banana a uniquely effective ingredient that cannot simply be substituted with ripe banana.

Is B-COMPLETE suitable for all horse breeds and disciplines?

Yes. The B-COMPLETE Natures Elite Horse Supplement is suitable for all breeds and disciplines including thoroughbred racing, eventing, polo, dressage, showjumping, endurance, working horses and pleasure horses. It is used at all levels from backyard horses through to world-class competition horses. The gut health benefits it provides are relevant to all horses regardless of discipline, and the calming and performance benefits are particularly valued in competitive settings.

Can B-COMPLETE help with a horse that is difficult to manage or spooky?

Yes. Active compounds naturally present in green bananas have documented calming properties that have been reported to improve temperament, reduce anxiety and make horses easier to handle and train with consistent supplementation. This is not a sedative effect but rather a general improvement in wellbeing and stress response that comes from better gut health and the specific bioactive compounds in green banana. Many trainers report that horses become more focused, more consistent and easier to work with after several weeks on B-COMPLETE.

Is B-COMPLETE safe for competition horses?

B-COMPLETE is a 100% natural product made from dried green bananas with no additives. It does not contain any substances on prohibited lists for equestrian competition that we are aware of. However, if you are competing under specific racing or equestrian regulatory bodies, it is always prudent to verify that a supplement's ingredients comply with the specific rules of your governing body before use in a competition context.

How do I feed B-COMPLETE to my dog?

Both the B-COMPLETE Canine Green Banana Supplement and the Canine Banana Crush are added to your dog's food at feeding time. The dose varies by body weight. The Banana Crush version was developed with enhanced palatability to make it more readily accepted by dogs that are reluctant to eat standard supplement powders. Both products are suitable for all breeds and life stages.

Is Banana Feeds Australia an Australian company?

Yes. Banana Feeds Australia is 100% Australian owned and operated, founded in 2019 and manufacturing in Cairns, Queensland. The green bananas used in the supplement are Australian grown. The company has received support from the Fight Food Waste CRC and the Queensland Department of Trade and Investment, and the B-COMPLETE products are FeedSafe Accredited. Despite its success in international markets including the USA, UK, Ireland and the UAE, it remains a proudly Australian operation.
