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.

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?

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?

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.
