Calminex


A BALANCED SYNERGISTIC CALMING FORMULA

RECOMMENDED SERVING: Maintenance- 1 scoop daily Competition- 2 scoops daily morning before event (1 scoop = 33 gr) (60 cc scoop included)
INGREDIENTS: Tryptophan, Thiamine (B1), Niacin (B3), Pyridoxine (B6), Magnesium, Live Yeast Culture and MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) NO FILLERS

Tryptophan (3000 mg per scoop) is an important calming supplement, a precursor of serotonin, meaning it is a building block from which serotonin can be manufactured in the brain. Tryptophan has been proven to improve mood by boosting serotonin levels, which as a neurotransmitter, acts in the brain to reduce anxiety and promotes concentration, calm and relaxation.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) (2800 mg per scoop) plays a direct role in transmission of nervous impulses. There is considerable anecdotal evidence for its effectiveness in reducing anxiety in horses. It has been demonstrated to improve concentration and reduce excitability

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) (100 mg per scoop) promotes the production of serotonin in the brain. Niacin also inhibits the enzyme that breaks down tryptophan in the liver. Tryptophan is used to make niacin, but it is a very inefficient process using a good deal of tryptophan to make not very much niacin so, by adding niacin directly in a supplement, the existing tryptophan is ‘spared’ leaving more free to form serotonin and help to calm the horse.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) (100 mg per scoop) has been associated with PMS in mares who exhibit behaviour changes in their heat cycles. Nervousness and irritability may be manifestations of inadequate Vitamin B6 in any horse because of its function in the production of brain chemicals.

A nervous, irritable and difficult to handle horse may be exhibiting signs of Vitamin B deficiency. Supplementation with Vitamin B is also beneficial for horses heavily stressed (surgery, shipping, infection) or heavily exercised. Toxicity with B vitamins administered in the feed is virtually nonexistent since the kidneys will eliminate any excess.

Magnesium Oxide (6000 mg per scoop) has an important function in the transmission of nervous impulses. It is necessary for the activation of B vitamins, especially thiamine. A deficiency interferes with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses causing nervousness. Magnesium is considered to be an anti-stress mineral. It functions to relax skeletal muscles as well as the smooth muscle of blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract.

Yeast (stable live yeast culture) (11,000 mg per scoop) has been scientifically proven to improve the hindgut environment of horses. Cultures that are selected for equine diets have been shown categorically to stimulate good bacteria in the hindgut of the horse improving digestion. Research has concluded that live yeast can reduce excess acidity in equine caecal contents and assist in the restoration of normal gut function which appear to affect temperament in certain horses. Yeast enhances the activity of fibre digesting bacteria, therefore promoting a more efficient use of the vitamins and minerals. Undigested carbohydrates and excess starch can cause high acidity in the hindgut, which can reduce vitamin B formation.

MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) (10,000 mg per scoop) is a prebiotic and is derived from the outer wall of yeast cells. MOS works by sticking onto pathogenic bacteria so that they cannot become attached to the wall of the gut. MOS also has a beneficial effect on the immune system, as well as improving feed digestibility.

L-Lysine Pure
Pharmaceutical Grade - NO Fillers or additives

Recommended Serving: For foals and yearlings: 1 scoop (6 grams) daily (5cc scoop included)
Mature Horses: 1 to 2 heaping scoops daily
Performance Horses, Breeding Stallions, and Broodmares: 2 scoops daily

Lysine is needed for appropriate growth (muscle, blood and hoof building) and bone development; it helps calcium absorption and maintains proper nitrogen balance.

This amino acid aids in the production of antibodies, hormones and enzymes, and helps in collagen formation and tissue repair. Deficiency can result in anemia, inability to concentrate, irritability, lack of energy and re****ed growth. Lysine is most often deficient in horse diets.

Supplementation is highly recommended for yearlings at moderate growth levels, horses in training and performance horses.

Sweet Relief
Sweet Relief – Allergy, Skin and Coat

Relief of itchy skin due to insect bites and environmental allergies. Natural antihistamine and detox formula.

Milled Flax Seed – 20,000 mgs per scoop: Flax seeds are a natural source of omega 3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic Acid (ALA). This essential fatty acid helps maintain healthy skin and coat.

Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) – 700 IU’s per scoop: Vitamin E improves heart function, enhances the immune system, and acts as a potent antioxidant, as well as an anti-inflammatory. Vitamin E is very important to the diet, for its free radical scavenging properties. Free radicals are produced in higher quantities during times of stress, such as heavy exercise, illness or injury, and beneficial for the prevention of tying up. Horses need Vitamin E in their diet because they cannot synthesize it endogenously in their body.

Vitamin C – 1000 mgs per scoop: Supports the immune system. During peak performance, illness and recovery, the body may require more Vitamin C than is naturally produced in the liver. In addition to being a potent antioxidant, Vitamin C attacks damaging free radicals produced naturally within the body during oxidation and inflammation. It contributes to wound healing, maintenance of capillaries, bones, teeth and absorption of iron, and helps in the formation of collagen.

Quercetin – 200 mgs per scoop: Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that has been shown to reduce inflammation, and aid to reduce the body’s response to histamines, which is very beneficial in treating allergies for both airborne and environmental causes, such as insect bites, grasses and pollens. Its antihistamine effect can reduce itching, runny noses, watery eyes, and hives. It can also be very beneficial to help horses that suffer from sweet itch.

Nettle – 10,000 mgs per scoop: Nettle has very powerful antihistamine properties, and can help reduce itching, watery eyes and runny nose. It naturally contains Vitamin C, iron, sodium, Chlorophyll, protein and dietary fiber. Nettles stimulate circulation, therefore ideal for allergies, laminitis and arthritis.

Milk Thistle – 10,000 mgs per scoop: Milk thistle supports liver and kidney health, enhances digestion, boosts the immune system, and acts as a powerful liver detoxifier. Milk thistle can also promote skin health. Compounds found in milk thistle may inhibit immune over-reactions that are common in horses with allergies, and can offer relief from seasonal allergies, or horses suffering from sweet itch.

**For severe allergies, it is recommended to feed additional Quercetin.**

Ingredients per scoop: Milled Flax Seed 20,000 mgs, Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) 700 IU’s, Vitamin C 1000 mgs, Quercetin 200 mgs, Stinging Nettle 10,000 grams, Milk Thistle 10,000 mgs

Recommended Serving: 1-2 scoops daily (43 grams per scoop). For severe allergies, feed 2 times per day, AM & PM.

Hoof food for horses feed hoofefex for quality hoof growth
Hoofefex
A BIOTIN FORMULA TO PROVIDE NUTRITIONAL FACTORS FOR HOOF GROWTH AND HEALTH
Pharmaceutical Grade
Recommended Servings: 1 scoop (33 gr) once daily (60cc scoop included)
Biotin (20 mg per scoop) Biotin is a water soluble B-group vitamin and is a crucial co-factor in hoof keratination. This sulfur containing vitamin is especially important for the maintenance of hooves and significant for the health of all connective tissue structures, stimulates keratin production in the hoof, hoof wall, sole and frog with an added benefit of improvement of the horses general appearance and luster.
Horses with poor quality hooves may benefit from supplementation at 20 mg daily, higher doses are suggested for horses receiving little or no grain. Biotin is beneficial for hooves that are shelly and brittle.
Methionine (4000 mg per scoop), Lysine (2000 mg per scoop) Methionine and Lysine are two essential amino acids, often deficient in equine feeds and indications are poor quality hoof, skin and coat, as well as tendon and ligament problems. Delayed wound healing and low tolerance to stress and exercise are also signs of deficiency. These amino acids are key components of the protein Keratin, “the major protein in hoof horn” and are vital building blocks in the construction of the hoof. These crucial building blocks must be present to ensure full utilization of Biotin. Methionine is a sulfur containing amino acid essential for formation of strong hooves. Lysine is the first key to unlocking protein efficiency.
Zinc (300 mg). Copper (100 mg), Manganese (200 mg per scoop) These chelated trace minerals are micronutrients essential for proper functioning of many enzyme systems and play a part in the formation of keratin and collagen which are vital for healthy hooves, hair and skin. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients will impact the efficiency of the others. Supplemental zinc and copper in the proper ratio can substantially improve the body’s ability to grow and heal hoof tissues. It is critical to maintain a 3:1 zinc: copper ratio in order to sustain optimum absorption.
Manganese and zinc are co-factors to anti-oxidant enzyme systems, known to be important for hoof health. Manganese levels in many common diets are likely to be incomplete. Copper deficiency may play a role in the development of arthritis, tendon and ligament problems, as well as hoof problems.
MSM (10,000 mg per scoop) MSM is one of nature’s best sources of dietary sulfur. Inadequate amounts will lead to poor hoof strength, tendon and ligament weakness and poor joint cartilage quality.
Kelp (8000 mg per scoop) Kelp is an excellent form of multi-vitamin and hoof supplement, containing balanced quantities of essential minerals such as iron, selenium, iodine, sulfur, copper, magnesium, zinc, as well as beta carotene, Vitamins C, D and E, B1 and B2, niacin, and up to twenty different amino acids.
Brewers’ Yeast (8533 mg per scoop) This natural pro-biotic supplement promotes gut health improving digestion and nutrient availability. Yeast is an excellent source of B vitamins complementing Biotin. Contains all of the B-complex vitamins.
Note: If you use an effective supplement like Hoofefex, you should see new hoof growth in approximately 4-6 weeks. It may take up to 9 months for your horse to grow a completely new hoof.

Probio Max is an advanced equine supplement designed to support horses' digestive health and overall well-being. Created by Basic Sports & Equine Nutrition Ltd., it offers a unique blend of ingredients to help maintain a balanced and healthy gut microbiome in horses. Here’s an in-depth look at the key components:
1. ProBiotic Duo®
Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis are two types of beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, that help maintain gut health. These probiotics promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the horse’s digestive system, improving digestion and nutrient absorption. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are prebiotics that serve as food for beneficial bacteria, helping them thrive and ensuring a balanced gut flora. This combination of probiotics and prebiotics enhances digestive health and promotes a stronger immune system.
2. Allzyme SSF
Allzyme SSF is a proprietary blend of enzymes that assist in breaking down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats within the digestive system. This helps horses extract maximum nutrients from their food, especially in cases where the diet is not fully optimized for digestion. By improving nutrient digestion and absorption, Allzyme SSF supports overall gastrointestinal function and helps reduce bloating or discomfort caused by undigested food.
3. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Live Yeast Culture)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a live yeast strain that supports the fermentation process in the horse’s gut, improving the breakdown of fibrous plant material in the diet. This yeast culture enhances the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetate, propionate, and butyrate, which provide energy to the cells lining the gut and help maintain a healthy digestive tract. This yeast culture also helps in stabilizing the pH of the gut, ensuring that harmful bacteria are kept in check while promoting the growth of beneficial microbes.
4. Yea Sacc®
Yea Sacc® is a specific strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, developed for equine health. It’s a highly effective yeast that supports the balance of the hindgut microbiome in horses, improving fiber digestion and overall gut function. It can also help reduce the risk of digestive disturbances like colic or diarrhea. The inclusion of Yea Sacc® specifically enhances feed efficiency and promotes overall digestive health by maintaining proper gut motility and microbial balance.
BENEFITS OF PROBIO MAX
Improved Digestion: The combination of probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, and live yeast cultures ensures that horses are able to efficiently digest their food and absorb essential nutrients.
Gut Health Maintenance: By promoting a balanced gut flora, Probio Max helps prevent gastrointestinal issues like bloating, gas, and diarrhea, which can often arise in horses with sensitive digestive systems.
Enhanced Immune Function: A healthy gut plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system. The probiotics and yeast in Probio Max contribute to stronger gut immunity, making horses more resilient against infections and diseases.
Better Feed Utilization: With enhanced digestion and nutrient absorption, horses will derive more energy from their feed, helping them maintain optimal body condition and performance.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM PROBIO MAX?
Performance Horses: Horses in intense training or competition can experience stress-related digestive issues. Probio Max supports their digestion and helps ensure they’re getting the most out of their diet for peak performance.
Senior Horses: As horses age, their digestive systems may become less efficient. Probio Max can aid older horses in maintaining gut health and digesting food more effectively.
Horses with Sensitive Digestion: Horses prone to digestive upset, such as those with gas, bloating, or diarrhea, may benefit greatly from this supplement.
Horses on High-Fiber Diets: Horses consuming a lot of hay or pasture can have trouble digesting fiber efficiently, and Probio Max helps enhance fiber digestion.
Probio Max is a comprehensive digestive health supplement that combines advanced probiotics, prebiotics, live yeast cultures, and digestive enzymes to ensure horses maintain a healthy gut. Whether used for performance, general health, or addressing specific digestive concerns, it provides support for a balanced, efficient, and resilient digestive system in horses.
