NUTRI-CALM Liquid vs Gel: Which Is Right for Your Horse?

If you’re looking for a calming supplement for horses, you may be wondering about the difference between NUTRI-CALM LIQUID and NUTRI-CALM GEL. Both are formulated to provide nutritional support for calmness, focus and concentration, but they are designed for slightly different uses. Both contain L-tryptophan (a precursor to serotonin) that promotes calmness, magnesium and B-vitamins, all of which promote composure and concentration, but the concentration of each active ingredient is designed specifically for that bespoke product’s use.

NUTRI-CALM LIQUID: Daily Calming Support for Horses

NUTRI-CALM LIQUID is ideal for horses that benefit from daily support for calmness and focus. It can be added to the horse’s regular feed and is particularly suited to horses that are naturally nervous, excitable or easily distracted.

For horses needing ongoing stress and nervousness support, NUTRI-CALM LIQUID can form part of their everyday nutritional management.

NUTRI-CALM GEL: Targeted Calming Support

NUTRI-CALM GEL provides a convenient option for horses that need targeted calming support for specific situations. Supplied in an easy-to-use oral syringe, it can be given directly into the horse’s mouth before situations such as travelling, competitions, sales or other stressful events.

This makes NUTRI-CALM GEL particularly useful when your horse is generally settled but may need additional support during more challenging situations.

NUTRI-CALM LIQUID vs GEL: What’s the Difference?

The easiest way to remember the difference is:

NUTRI-CALM LIQUID = daily support

NUTRI-CALM GEL = targeted support when you need it

Both NUTRI-CALM products are designed to support a calm, focused and responsive horse without compromising natural alertness.

If your horse needs regular support, NUTRI-CALM LIQUID may be the better choice. If you need convenient support for a specific event or situation, NUTRI-CALM GEL may be more suitable. For those especially on edge, the products can be used in combination.

Choosing the Right NUTRI-CALM for Your Horse

Whether your horse needs everyday calming support or targeted support for specific situations, there’s a NUTRI-CALM option to suit their individual needs. NUTRI-CALM LIQUID and NUTRI-CALM GEL make it easy to provide nutritional support for a calmer, more focused horse at home, in training, travelling or at competition.

The overall energy source in your horse’s diet should also be carefully looked at as it can affect their temperament hugely. Slow-release energy sources like oil and fibre are preferential over quick-release energy sources like sugar and starch.
