Anxicalm™ is a scientifically designed nutritional supplement to help calm excitable horses in stressful conditions such as competition, travelling or sales, therefore maximising equine performance.
A link between food and mood can be traced to neurotransmitter activity in the brain. Certain micronutrients such as folate (folic acid), magnesium, niacin, and l-tryptophan may decrease feeling of anxiety & nervousness.
• Folic Acid: Folic acid appears to have the ability to reduce the high levels of homocysteine associated with anxiety
• Magnesium :Is a mineral that may ease anxiety by acting as a muscle relaxant
• B Complex vitamins Deficiencies in the B vitamins, particularly B6, B1 and pantothenic acid, have resulted in anxiety. Based on niacin’s well-recognised role in promoting sound nerve cell function, some experts recommend this B vitamin for relieving feelings of anxiety and panic.
• L-tryptophan: The amino acid L-tryptophan (found in whole milk as well as other foods) is converted to serotonin in the body; increased serotonin levels generally decrease anxiety. Vitamins B6 and C are necessary for the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin.
This highly palatable liquid is particularly useful when fed to calm excitable horses in stressful conditions such as competition, or travelling. Anxicalm can be fed three to four hours prior to competition or travelling or a reduced daily dose.
