B group Vitamins are an essential element for relaxing muscles and nervous tensions, while restoring Magnesium and Calcium to optimum levels helps your horse to relax and feel calm again.
Magnesium (Chelate)
Magnesium is an essential macromineral for all animals. The majority of magnesium in the horse’s body is found in bone and muscle. Magnesium is used in calming supplements to reduce excitability, anxiety, and reactivity. In human studies, it has been shown to influence nerve transmission and support an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effect.
2) Tryptophan
Tryptophan is an amino acid precursor to the neurotransmitter and hormone serotonin. Serotonin is the brain chemical that produces feelings of happiness and contentment. Tryptophan is said to produce a calming effect by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is involved in regulating appetite, sleep, mood balance, emotions, anxiety, pain sensitivity and more.
3) Thiamine
Thiamine is a B-vitamin (Vitamin B1) that is required by the horse for a variety of metabolic functions, including carbohydrate metabolism. B vitamins play a role in nervous system function and thiamine supplementation is purported to have a calming effect. Thiamine and B-complex vitamin supplementation are generally believed to be beneficial in horses under stress.
4) Calcium
Calcium is used to calm equines to help aid focus and concentration without sedation, while supporting normal neurotransmission.

I started feeding Chill Pills to my boys and I've honestly been so impressed with the difference they've made.
I initially started using Chill Pills as a “support tool” during times where my more sensitive horse would become stressed (such at going out to busy environments). I noticed he seemed way more settled and able to focus when I’ve given them to him beforehand. They’re super easy to use since they’re just a treat, which makes them much more convenient than trying to syringe or mix anything into feed when you’re at shows or on the go. And the horses absolutely love them which is a bonus!!
I absolutely LOVE using the Chill Pills! They are an absolute must have in my float & grooming kit! I first tried them for my overly sensitive warmblood gelding and the difference was incredible, I now regularly use them for any horses that have been on fresh grass or coming back into work from extended time off! I highly recommend using this product ❤️
I noticed a huge difference in one of my mates after giving her Chill Pills. She was spooky, jumpy and nervy, especially in the wind. After a few days I noticed a distinct change in her, and the whole appdock vibe had changed because she wasn’t twitching and jumping every time a leaf blew past her! Would highly recommend. The horses love them, and they work so it’s a total win win scenario.
