L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that is converted to serotonin in the body, and when combined with B Vitamins it is known to decrease anxiety and reduce the feelings that create stress.
Magnesium is a key component for ensuring the integrity of nerve endings and the health of the mucous membranes that are key to an individual horse’s level of sensitivity. Levels of magnesium can be depleted by stress and anxiety and so need to be replenished.
Tryptophan does not sedate (which can be a good thing). It does not affect performance. Anxikalm is most effective on anxious/stressed horse or ponies to reduce a “fight or flight response” than “fresh” horses. Some horses react more to Magnesium supplementation, others to Tryptophan. AnxiKalm Compete contains both.
