NUTRI-CALM GEL

Equine calming supplements come in different formats depending on how quickly they are needed to work. Fast-acting options such as calming gels or oral pastes are designed for use before travel or competition and are administered directly into the horse’s mouth.
Longer-term calming supplements are typically liquids or powders added to feed, supporting a cumulative calming effect over time, usually within 1–2 weeks.

Foran Equine Nutri-Calm is available in both liquid and gel formats to suit different horses and situations.

Yes, Nutri-Calm liquid and gel can be used together. However, it is recommended to follow correct feeding guidelines. If using the gel on competition or travel days while already feeding the liquid daily, reduce the gel dose slightly to account for the baseline intake from the liquid.

Calming supplements for horses are designed to support the nervous system and reduce stress responses, helping horses stay focused in their environment. They are non-sedative, meaning they do not make horses drowsy. Instead, they help reduce anxiety and improve concentration during work, training, or competition.

Nutri-Calm contains a carefully balanced blend of ingredients that support calm behaviour and focus in horses:

Magnesium – supports nervous system function and relaxation

L-Tryptophan – a precursor to serotonin, helping support mood and stress response

B Vitamins – support nervous system health, energy metabolism, and appetite

Together, these ingredients help maintain a calmer, more focused horse without sedation.

Before using a calming supplement, it’s important to consider management factors that may affect behaviour, positively and negatively.

Key factors to think about are:

Total diet i.e. is your horse getting enough fibre or too much starch?

Turnout i.e. is your horse cooped up in a stable with limited foraging time?

Exercise i.e. does your horse have a varied daily routine?

These factors can significantly influence stress levels, behaviour, and stability before introducing a calming supplement.

Yes, Foran Equine Nutri-Calm is competition-safe and carries the S.A.F.E. logo, meaning it has been rigorously tested and is safe for use in racing and competition horses.

No. Nutri-Calm is a non-drowsy calming supplement for horses. The ingredients within Nutri-Calm will help reduce stress and anxiety, allowing the horse to remain focused, responsive, and able to perform without distraction.

Nutri-Calm liquid is designed to be mixed into daily feed for easy administration. It is palatable and suitable for most horses.
For more fussy eaters or competition use, Nutri-Calm can also be administered directly into the mouth using a syringe.
Nutri-Calm gel is already supplied in a syringe for easy oral dosing.

If you think you need to control your horse’s behaviour on a daily basis, then Nutri-Calm liquid is your new best friend. It can be added to the horse’s feed and used at the recommended dose rate for as long as you feel you need it for. There is no threshold on using it for a certain number of weeks and then having to stop. If you feel you only need Nutri-Calm for specific times (e.g competition / travelling) then the gel is probably more suitable. This can be used as a once-off or can be used for every competition – one of the key benefits of the product is its convenience.

Yes. If your horse is sweating due to stress, electrolytes should still be replaced separately. Nutri-Calm helps support calmer behaviour but does not replace electrolytes lost through sweat. The easiest way to correctly deal with this is to also provide a Re-Fuel Gel alongside your Nutri-Calm if you have a nervous, sweaty horse.

Yes. Nutri-Calm syringes are available in triple packs, making them convenient to keep in the tack room, stable, or horsebox so they are always available when needed.
