SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™

FOR NERVY, STRESSED & IRRITABLE BEHAVIOUR IN HORSE

SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ is the most advanced nutritional supplement available for treating stress and the underlying causes of nervy behaviour in horses and the only one to combine Protexin multi-strain probiotic with B Group vitamins, magnesium and typtophan.

Nervous symptoms like excitability, muscular twitching, diarrhoea, muscle stiffness and other disorders have been linked, in scientific literature to deficiencies of B Group vitamins and magnesium.

Mood stabilising is addressed through tryptophan, long known as a mood stabiliser, particularly when used in conjunction with vitamin B6 and magnesium.

Overcoming stress from digestive upsets us the role of Protexin multi-strain probiotic. SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ breaks new ground in treatment by ensuring the well-being of the digestive system. Whether disruption to the normal intestinal microbial balance is the cause of stress, or one of its symptoms - Protexin works efficiently to restore gastro-intestinal balance with natural, healthy, live bacteria.

SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ should be administered to any horse already in a stressed condition or to those likely to become stressed, whether from training (for racing or competition), transportation, breaking in, a change of environment (such as agistment) or from any other cause. Your intimate knowledge of your horse's moods and behaviour places you in the best position to determine whether SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ should be administered. Some of the more obvious signs suggesting a need for SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ are: -

HOW SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS WORKS
Scientific literature indicates that deficiencies of B-group vitamins and magnesium can lead to symptoms including excitability, muscular twitching, diarrhoea and muscle stiffness.  Vitamin B6 deficiencies have been reported to produce neurological abnormalities resembling epilepsy.   Feeding these nutirents to horses helps restore normal nervous function and produce a soothing effect.

Tryptophan has also been shown to be effective as a mood stabiliser, particularly in conjunction with magnesium and vitamin B6. Even horses whose diets do not lack these nutrients may show reduced symptoms of stress when their diets are supplemented with SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™.

Stress has an immediate effect on horses' intestines, increasing the rate food passes through, reducing the ability to digest food and leaving the gut more susceptible to infection by harmful bacteria (which often cause scouring and diarrhoea).  SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ contains Protexin which floods the intestine with millions of beneficial gut bacteria to restore the correct balance while countering harmful pathogenic organisms.

SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ works to overcome both the causes and effects of stress in horses, helping to correct behavioural problems which can prevent horses reaching their full potential.

PROPERTIES:
Performance and racehorses are inclined to exhibit nervy, irritable and unpredictable behaviour, particularly when placed under stress at competitions and under heavy training regimes. This tends to be worse when they receive high-grain, low roughage diets and when they are confined to stables throughout the day.

Deficiencies of B-group vitamins (B1, B2, B6 & niacin), magnesium and tryptophan have been linked to nervous symptoms and accordingly the feeding of high doses of vitamin Bl (thiamine) has been used to produce a calming effect. Magnesium has also been administered to relieve nervous symptoms in grain-fed horses while tryptophan has been used as a mood stabiliser, particularly in conjunction with magnesium and vitamin B6.

Nervous stress plays havoc with the horse's digestive system, disrupting the normal healthy balance of gut microflora and allowing pathogens to flourish. Visible symptoms include reduced appetite, temperament changes and loose manure. SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ contains Protexin to restore the gut balance and to help overcome the effects of stress.

SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ also contains high levels of the B-group vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and niacin) in conjunction with magnesium and tryptophan, to overcome potential dietary deficiencies and avoid related nervous and behavioural problems . SOOTHA NERVES & STRESS™ is pleasant tasting to tempt even picky eaters and should be used daily for horses inclined to become nervy or "fizzy".
