KER B-Quiet

KER B-Quiet is a pelleted calming supplement for horses, combining thiamine and magnesium to support nervous or anxious horses, in 1.5kg and 4kg packs.

B-Quiet is formulated to manage the signs of thiamine and magnesium deficiency, including hyper-irritability, nervousness and anxiety, which may affect performance. It can be fed daily, or strategically when travelling or competing. Thiamine (vitamin B1) plays a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism and nerve transmission. Horses on high-grain, low-forage diets, or those in hard work, may make less thiamine in the hindgut because of stress or acidosis. Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function; horses short of magnesium can appear spooky or excitable, and may have muscle tremors or cramping. KER notes that research has found supplementing thiamine and organic magnesium can reduce anxiety by helping maintain nerve function, and that magnesium may positively influence behaviour in stressful situations. B-Quiet does not contain prohibited substances.
