Targeted nutritional support can help support hormone changes or imbalances, which may lead to muscle tension, cramps, and irritable behaviour in mares, but also in non-breeding stallions and even geldings.
Hormonal changes can result in challenging behaviour, making the horse difficult to handle, unwilling to work, and often result in a drop in performance.
Chastetree extract (Vitex Agnus Castus), also known as Monks Pepper, is a plant grown in the Mediterranean and parts of Asia and has been used for centuries to support hormone balance and comfort.
More recently, research has shown that the Chasteberry plant contains natural compounds that may influence hormone levels and production. It is these effects that are thought to help regulate hormone balance, reducing irritability, muscle tension and cramps, which can lead to unpredictable and challenging behaviours, both ridden and on the ground.
Magnesium and Vitamin B1 are also added to help to support muscle function, and the nervous system, to further promote comfort and calm behaviour.
