Calming Cookies are a high-specification complementary feed for all horses in a convenient cookie format, designed to provide support during periods of travel, competition or other potentially challenging situations, without causing drowsiness or affecting normal activity.
Each cookie contains a carefully selected blend of amino acids, B vitamins, and herbal extracts, chosen for their role in supporting the nervous system and maintaining relaxation. These ingredients contribute to overall wellbeing and are particularly useful when horses are exposed to unfamiliar or stimulating environments, including competitions, clipping, travelling or other potentially stressful situations.
Each cookie contains a unique combination of fast-acting ingredients, including:
L-Tyrosine
A precursor to Dopamine, Adrenaline and Noradrenaline which are neurotransmitters involved in focus, alertness and emotional balance. L-Tyrosine supports the horse's ability to stay attentive and responsive, without becoming overstimulated.
L-Arginine
A nitric oxide precursor which plays a role in learning, memory and blood flow regulation. L-Arginine is also involved in immune function and cellular signalling.
L-Cysteine
An amino acid that supports and aids antioxidants.
Vitamin C
An antioxidant that supports the nervous system and plays a role in supporting the horse during periods of excitement or exertion.
B Vitamins (B1, B2, B5, B6)
B vitamins contribute to energy metabolism, nerve function, and psychological balance.
• B1 (Thiamine): Used in calming supplements for its role in nerve transmission
• B6 (Pyridoxine): Involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and amino acid metabolism
• B2 (Riboflavin) and B5 (D-Calcium Pantothenate): Support adrenal function and energy release
Turmeric
An antioxidant traditionally used to support joint comfort and immune health, with potential benefits in stress moderation.
Soya Flour (NGMO) and Flaxseed
Provide a base rich in protein and omega 3 fatty acids which support overall wellbeing.
Sodium Chloride
Included to support electrolyte balance and palatability.
This product contains molasses. If your horse has a history of EMS or laminitis, please consult your vet before use.
