Calming Ingredients to Look For
Magnesium: A macromineral involved in both the nervous and muscular systems that is used as a first line of defense to support neuromuscular and behavioral sensitivities.
Calcium: It is important to keep the dietary calcium to magnesium ratio at about 2:1 so horses do not develop symptoms of muscle problems, irritability or hypersensitivity.
B Vitamins: Vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and vitamin B12 (cobalamin) are referred to as neurotropic B vitamins as they work together to promote nervous system health.
L-Theanine: A unique extract from green tea used by the brain to promote neurotransmitter production, relaxation and focus.
Magnolia Officinalis: Studies suggest this medicinal plant extract supports a normal stress response and promotes relaxation.
Phellodendron amurense: Combined with Magnolia officinalis, this bark extract supports a calming state as well as improving sleep.
