Nervousness and excitability can make an otherwise good horse difficult, and while some horses are born nervous, others may suffer from nutritional deficiencies.

The high-carbohydrate (high-grain) diets of many athletic horses can actually aggravate these deficiencies and worsen symptoms that may include nervousness and excitability as well as elevated blood lactate and pyruvate levels which cause muscle tremors and cramping. Other symptoms may include a lusterless hair coat and intolerance to work or exercise.

New Formula 707 Calming Essentials™ was designed to balance magnesium and thiamin deficiencies and provide the additional calmative effect of L-tryptophan. Calming Essentials can help you create a horse that is relaxed, focused and ready to work or learn.

A three-part solution

Thiamine, a vitamin of the B complex, has long been known to have a calming effect on some horses when used in higher doses of 500+ mg/day. Dietary thiamine requires magnesium to be converted to its active form within the body and works with supplemental calcium to achieve its calming effect.

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid used in humans to combat depression, anxiety and insomnia. A vital precursor to serotonin and melatonin, important neurotransmitters associated with behavior, L-tryptophan is widely used in equine calming agents.

Taken together on a daily basis, the three-part solution in Formula 707 Calming Essentials of magnesium oxide, thiamine and L-tryptophan can help high-strung horses settle down and concentrate on their work or training.

Try it on your horse

Nervousness and excitability can make an otherwise good horse difficult and dangerous. Formula 707 Calming Essentials might be just the solution you need to quiet high-strung horses for improved safety, enjoyment and peace of mind.
