Product Description

Horses and ponies are naturally fright and flight animals and can be prone to excitability and nervousness in unfamiliar surroundings (such as competition or new training venues) which can lead to spookiness and cause them to lose concentration and focus, resulting  in undesirable behaviour.

So Kalm Solution provides targeted nutrition with 4 key ingredients to support the horse in managing these stress responses and supporting calm behaviour.

Magnesium is a vital mineral and plays an important role in nerve function and muscle contraction, as well as its other roles around the body. A lack of magnesium in the diet can result in neuro-muscular excitability and increase in nervous behaviour.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is important to help maintain nerve impulse transmission and cellular energy production.

L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid in the horse’s diet, required for the production of the important hormone serotonin, which is associated with mood and pleasure. L-tryptophan is included in So Kalm Solution at a safe level to support the daily requirement, particularly in those sharp or anxious horses that are likely to be receiving minimal concentrates, and consequently may be receiving sub-optimal levels of this key amino acid.

Chastetree Extract (Vitex Agnus Castus), also known as Monks Pepper, has been used for centuries to support mood and temperament. More recently, research has shown that the Chasteberry plant contains natural compounds that support key mood-regulating hormone levels, which help maintain hormone balance, reducing irritability and muscle tension, which can lead to unpredictable and challenging behaviour, and a loss of concentration.

All ingredients are selected to ensure they are fully compliant with the FEI guidelines for Clean Sport.
