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 paste provides targeted nutrition with key ingredients, in a convenient paste form, to support the horse in managing these stress responses and supporting calm behaviour.
Magnesium and calciumare vital minerals and play 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-Tryptophanis 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 paste 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.
Chamomile Extractis a natural plant that has been used for centuries for its soothing and calming properties.
All ingredients are selected to ensure they are fully compliant with the Rules of Racing and the FEI guidelines for Clean Sport.
