Calmer Bites™ - Ginger

Product Info 

Calmer Bites™ Ginger are formulated to support relaxed, confident and focused behaviour.  Ideal for horses with anxiety in exciting, stressful or new environments such as travelling, hacking & competing.

Each Calmer Bite™ is carefully cut, weighed and baked by hand for consistency & quality.

Ginger Root Powder

Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant which helps regulate the cortisol (stress hormone) response by reducing oxidative stress. Ginger has a stimulating smell which is appealing to horses and helps increase palatability.

Flax Seed Powder

Flax Seed is rich in soluble fibre, particularly mucilage which forms a gel like coating when mixed with digestive fluids acting as a barrier against stomach acid. Flax is one of the best plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid which can support the health of the brain and nervous system.

Vitamin E (Natural dl-a-Tocopheryl Acetate 700iu)

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, that plays a critical role in protecting the horse from everyday oxidative stress which is particuraly relevant for high performance horses. Vitamin E is an important nutrient that supports muscle health and protects cell membranes. In addition, it is an 'essential vitamin' (meaning your horse cannot synthesise it and it must be provided in the diet).
