Product Info
SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer - Step 3 is a maintenance gut supplement helping provide the digestive system with the nutrients it requires to maintain a healthy gut function plus the amino acid L-Tyrosine to help your horse stay calm, relaxed, confident & focused.
SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer - Step 3 includes essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids providing high quality equine nutrition. Ideal as part of our 3-step programme as a long-term feeding plan for continued gut health and for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.
Low in Sugar (3.92%) and Starch (1.6%) and high in Fibre, the key ingredients Flax, L-Tyrosine, L-Alanine, Vitamin C & E and Peppermint Leaf contribute to supporting a healthy digestive system.
Flax
Flaxseed 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 helping with gastric and intestinal inflammation.
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that is used by the body to make neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, Adrenaline and Norepinephrine. Under stress, the body burns through these neurotransmitters which can lead to insufficient levels in the brain and that can impact behavioural issues. Replenishing levels of L-Tyrosine can help maintain normal levels of these neurotransmitters helping your horse stay calm, relaxed, confident & focused.
L-Alanine
L-Alanine is a proteinogenic amino acid; meaning that it is a building block for proteins and plays a key role in glucose production which provides energy to gut barrier cells.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vital for collagen synthesis helping keep the gut wall flexible and strong.
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 and supports 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).
Peppermint Leaf Powder
Peppermint encourages fussy horses to eat, and it contains menthol, which can help to soothe the digestive tract, reduce gas, and provide support for horses suffering with digestive issues.
3-Step Gastric Programme
Step 1 - Gastro™ is the most concentrated formula in the gastric range, helping preserve and restore intestinal barrier function. Ideal for horses showing symptoms of gastric discomfort, changes in behaviour, grass and turnout changes, travelling and competitions.
Step 2 - Gastro Extend™ can be used as a follow on from Gastro™ - Step 1 or used as maintenance if your horse competes regularly or is prone to stress.
Step 3 - SFM PRO™ & SFM PRO - Extra Calmer™ is a daily gut maintenance for your horses gut health. Includes essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, ideal for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.
FAQ’s
Can I feed this all year round?
Due to its Low Sugar (3.92%) and Starch (1.6%) content, SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer - Step 3 can be fed throughout all seasons. The high levels of vitamins, minerals and amino acids contribute to providing high quality equine nutrition all year round.
What’s the difference between Step 2 and Step 3?
Extend™ Step 2 has a higher level of amino acids, of which some are different to Step 3. Extend™ Step 2 is a gut supplement for horses prone to gastric symptoms due to hard work, stress, travelling and competitions, whereas as Step 3 is formulated as part of a long-term feeding plan for continued gut health and for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.
What’s the difference between SFM PRO™ and SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer?
The ingredients are very similar, however, SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer also includes L-Tyrosine for a calmer, more relaxed, focused horse.
What’s the difference between SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer & SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer Soya Free?
The formula is exactly the same but we’ve swapped the Soya out for Milled Chia Seeds for owners who prefer to have their horses on a Soya free diet.
Should I split the daily amount over two feeds?
It is recommended that your horse has its maintenance amount in one feed, so for a 500kg horse, you need to use 1 scoop into one feed and for a 600kg horse, 2 scoops into one feed. Do not split the maintenance dose into two feeds. 2 scoops per day = 2 scoops in one feed.
For loading doses (the first 3-5 days of feeding), you need to use the required dosage into two separate feeds (morning & evening).
I’m not sure my horse will eat it?
Samples are available so that you can ensure your horse is happy to eat it. Just call one of the team on 01184 676715 to discuss.

Complimentary feeding stuffs for horses
I’ve just moved my gelding to this calmer, and so far it’s been a great transition. The team were so supportive making sure they understood my needs, my horse and the best product / product set for us.
Calmed my mare down and stopped her tensing up in the stomach
All products from Equine Exceed that I have tried which includes the gut and calming range including the cookies, i have found that my horse finds them palatable, and do what it says on the tin.
Highly recommend, works fabulously for my mare, we have been using consistently for years now.
A year ago my highland pony was spooky , sensitive , over reactive and unfortunately she got a fright and I fell off and broke my collar bone . I gave her time off aswell as myself and I decided to give her the gastric supplement step one and two and I continued with gastric support and the calmer . I had been reading reviews and I decided to add in sensitive mare aswell as she was very distracted when in season and not concentrating . I have never looked back this pony has changed from the overly sensitive restart to now a nanny pony for youngsters and not over reacting to everything in site he have attended shows , hunt rides , pole clinics , may it continue as we are enjoying are time together .
