Horses are naturally skittish and flighty animals and can be prone to excitability and nervousness in an unfamiliar environment (such as a competition or a new training venue), which can create fear and cause them to lose concentration and focus, resulting in undesirable behavior.
Super So Kalm provides targeted nutrition with 4 key ingredients to help the horse manage these stress responses and encourage calm behavior.
Magnesium is a vital trace mineral and plays an important role in nerve function and muscle contraction, among its other functions in the body. A lack of magnesium in the diet can lead to neuromuscular excitability and increased nervous behavior.
Calcium works closely with magnesium and is also key to maintaining proper muscle and nerve function.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is important for the transmission of nerve impulses and the production of cellular energy.
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid in a horse's diet required for the production of the important hormone serotonin, which is associated with mood and pleasure. L-tryptophan is included in Super So Kalm at a safe level to support daily requirements, particularly in nervous or anxious horses that are likely to receive minimal concentrates and, consequently, may receive suboptimal levels of this key amino acid.
All ingredients are selected to ensure they comply with the Rules of Racing and FEI guidelines for clean sport.
