Ingredients

Magnesium

Magnesium fumarate is a source of magnesium, an essential mineral that plays a role in the normal functioning of the nervous and neuromuscular systems. Magnesium is involved in numerous metabolic processes and is used as part of the diet, particularly during periods of increased physical or mental stress.

Taurine

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that plays a role in the body in processes such as muscle metabolism and antioxidant processes. From a nutritional perspective, it can support physiological processes in the nervous system and contribute to normal heart and circulatory function. An adequate intake supports the body, particularly during periods of increased physical demands.

Carbonated Algal Limestone

Carbonate-rich seaweed lime is a natural source of calcium derived from marine algae. When administered directly, it can buffer the digestive environment in the mouth and stomach, thereby supporting a balanced diet. It is particularly suitable for horses experiencing changes in feeding routines, extended breaks between meals, or increased management stress, such as during transport or competitions.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin found in significant amounts only in animal components like fermented feeds or yeast. It is involved in normal energy metabolism and contributes to the physiological function of the nervous system. Targeted supplementation can be particularly beneficial for older horses or those under high stress.

L-Tryptophan

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body needs to produce important endogenous neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced naturally by the body that plays a role in the central nervous system. In equine nutrition, a targeted supply of nutrients can support the nervous system and maintain internal balance—especially during periods of increased stress or after intense physical exertion.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a traditionally used plant extract with a natural content of phytochemicals. In horse feeding, Ashwagandha is used as a supplement to provide nutritional support for the nervous system and overall well-being – especially for older, sensitive, or hormonally challenged horses. An appropriate supply can support inner balance during periods of increased stress or transition.

Sunflower oil

Sunflower oil is a high-quality source of energy to supplement a horse’s daily diet. It provides energy that is released slowly and can therefore be a useful alternative to starch-rich feeds—especially for sensitive or easily excitable horses. It supports a balanced diet and ensure a stomach-friendly feed ration.

Passionflower

Passionflower contains natural phytochemicals and is traditionally used in animal feed. It can support the nervous system and overall well-being through nutrition—especially during times of nervous stress or in tense situations.

Chamomile

Chamomile contains natural essential oils and bitter compounds and is traditionally used in horse feed. It can support the digestive tract—especially during periods of dietary stress or internal discomfort.

Product Questions

How many uses does one Nerves Booster last for?

For large horses (standard feeding: 1x 30 ml), one Nerves Booster is enough for one use. For small horses or ponies (standard feeding: 1x 15 ml), one Nerves Booster will even last for two uses.

What is the difference between Nerves Essentials, Nerves Essentials Pro, and Nerves Booster?

Nerves Booster is a single-use paste designed for short-term situations and is Show safe.

Nerves Essentials intended for daily feeding—either on a long-term or intermittent basis.

Nerves Essentials Pro is particularly suitable for situations such as competitions, travel, or unfamiliar stress—and is also Show safe.

Is the Nerves Booster a sedative paste for horses?

The Nerves Booster is a complementary feed in paste form designed for single-use administration; it is not a medication or a sedative. It is designed to provide a short-term dietary supplement in stressful situations. Nerves Booster is not a sedative paste and is not a substitute for veterinary sedation.

When will the horse start to calm down, and for how long?

Ideally, administer it 1–3 hours before the situation – for example before loading, before a class, or before any event that may make your horse nervous.
The effects vary from horse to horse and depend on the initial situation, the horse’s temperament, and the environment. Many customers report positive effects lasting about 4–6 hours.

Can I keep my horse calm over the long term with the Nerves Booster?

The paste for your horse's nerves is designed for single-use and should not be fed on a long-term basis. For long-term support of nervous or skittish horses, we recommend our products Nerves Essentials or Nerves Essentials Pro (Show safe).

I have a horse with a sensitive stomach - can I feed the Nerves Booster?

Especially in stressful situations—such as during competitions or transport—the stomach environment plays an important role for many horses. The formula for Nerves Booster therefore Nerves Booster not only nervous system support but also stomach health, and can be a useful addition to the daily diet during stressful times. Among other ingredients, Nerves Booster carbonated algae lime, which acts as a buffering agent in the diet.

My horse gets nervous during transport or when travelling in a trailer. Can the Nerves Booster support my horse?

Many customers use the Nerves Booster before loading or transport when their horse is perceived as particularly nervous or tense when travelling in a trailer. Unlike sedatives, the horse appears more relaxed after administration of the Nerves Booster while remaining clear-headed.

What should I do if my horse gets nervous at competitions or training sessions in unfamiliar surroundings?

Many horses are sensitive to unfamiliar surroundings—other horses, loudspeakers, transport, or changes in routine can cause a horse to appear tense or have difficulty concentrating.
In addition to calm handling, a clear routine, and good preparation, the horse’s diet can be specifically supplemented. The Nerves Booster is developed specifically for such situations. The formula contains selected ingredients that can be effectively used during stressful moments—including herbal components to support nervous system balance, as well as carbonated algae lime to act as a buffering agent for the stomach. Especially during short-term stress, the stomach environment plays a significant role for many horses.

Nerves Booster is administered about 1–3 hours before the event and is particularly suitable for competitions, training camps, or transport. The goal is to keep the horse mentally alert and ready to work during such moments—without sedation.

Is the Nerves Booster a good idea on New Year's Eve?

Many customers use Nerves Booster as a occasional support in situations with extreme background noise—such as on New Year’s Eve. It’s important to note that proper management (a quiet barn, a consistent routine, and consulting with a veterinarian if necessary) always remains the foundation. Combining it with our Nerves Essentials for daily support around New Year’s Eve is also a popular choice.

Picky horse: What if the horse won't eat the product?

Nerves Booster is a paste and is well accepted by most horses. Thanks to the dosing aid, you can apply the nerve paste directly into your horse's mouth.

Is Nerves Booster permitted in competitive sports (doping)?

Yes, our product is Show safe. It does not contain any substances that are prohibited in competitive sports under current anti-doping guidelines.

Please always follow the current anti-doping guidelines (ADMR) of the FN and the FEI.

Can the Nerves Booster be fed to pregnant mares?

Due to the herbal extracts it contains, we do not recommend feeding this product to pregnant mares. It is generally suitable for all other age groups and breeds.
