BetaCALM is a Tryptophan, Thiamine, Vitamin E and Magnesium supplement designed to nutritionally support nervous and anxious horses.

What is BetaCALM?

They don’t call it the nervous system for nothing! Anxiety affects horses too and stressful experiences can have a significant effect on their mental state. That’s why BetaCALM was formulated – to provide a source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that may help to reduce nervousness or hyper-reactivity in horses.

How does BetaCALM work?

BetaCALM has a unique combination of four ingredients to nutritionally support nervous horses without affecting performance.

• Tryptophan: An essential amino acid that stabilises the horse’s mood, reduces anxiety and lessens the stress response. Tryptophan is not produced naturally by the horse and beneficial levels are not found in feed. It is converted in the body to serotonin, which helps to induce a feeling of calmness.
• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): A B vitamin that plays a vital role in nerve transmission. Hard-working horses or those on a high grain, low forage diet may have reduced production of thiamine in the hindgut due to stress or hindgut acidosis.
• Vitamin E: An antioxidant that helps to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage and maintain normal nerve and other functions.
• Magnesium: Important for cell metabolism, especially in the nervous system and muscles during work.

The specific levels of magnesium, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin E and tryptophan may help to actively reduce the stress response during training, travelling and competition. With thiamine’s important role in energy metabolism and nerve transmission, and tryptophan’s role in the inhibition of stress and fear, deficiencies of these nutrients may cause anxiety, mental confusion and failure of muscle coordination. On top of this, magnesium has been found to reduce reactivity in horses.

Remember, there are many factors that can cause undesirable behaviour in horses including diet, age, training, housing, pain and digestive conditions. It is best to discuss your horse’s diet and history to determine whether changes in feeding and management practices are also required to reduce anxious behaviour. To help manage nervous horses, try providing constant access to forage, small meals and reduce starch/sugar in the diet. Also, decreasing stable time and providing equine company is very beneficial for mental health.

BetaMARE is a concentrated, standardised chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) supplement to support normal balanced behaviour in mares.

Benefits:

• Promotes balanced behaviour
• Reduces irritability and mood swings
• Natural remedy for tension
• Aids focus for consistent performance
• Improves willingness to work 

How does BetaMARE work?
Owning a mare often involves a rollercoaster of emotions – for both the mare and the owner! A mare’s mood swings are typically accompanied by irritability, muscular tension, erratic behaviour patterns and a generally uncooperative attitude. This quintessential ‘mare-ish’ behaviour can cause disruptions to training and competition schedules, as some mares become reactive, hard to handle or unfocused in their work.
Chasteberry has a long traditional history of use to help balance behaviour fluctuations in mares. Supplementation with chasteberry can help improve the mare’s mood, aiding relaxation and cooperation.

What makes BetaMARE unique?
A common problem with feeding raw herbs (whether whole, dried or powdered) is the variation between batches. The level of actives in raw herbs can be influenced by a range of factors such as stage of growth, season and environmental conditions (soil type, pH, water, etc). So, it is difficult to determine an effective dose unless a standardised herbal extract is used. For this reason, Kelato use a concentrated, standardised chasteberry extract in BetaMARE to ensure consistency and efficacy between product batches.

Ingredients:
Per 30mL: 450mg Chasteberry Extract, Natural Cherry Flavouring, Natural Low Sugar Sweetener (Monk Fruit), Water, Preservatives.

Directions for use:

• BetaMARE is designed to be mixed in the horse's feed.
• Feed 30- 60mL daily.
• Safe to use long-term.
