The Nutri-Bite treat which has been taking the Equestrian world by storm and a regular Health Horse sell out- CHILL PILLS
The vital elements contained in CHILL PILLS have been used for centuries with great success to help aid calming and anxiety in both equines and humans. CHILL PILLS are used daily to maintain optimum levels of these elements and the dosage can be safely increased at times to provide an extra calming support for right when you need it.
Before CHILL PILLS came to the market, people struggled with administering last minute calming and stress support supplements to their horses. This was usually only able to be done by a supplement being syringed into the mouth of a horse (which is inconvenient and embarrassing next to the competition arena) or with a supplement mixed into a hard feed (which is dangerous for a horse to consume a large amount of food right before, during or after exercise.)
CHILL PILLS Nutri-Bites are available to be consumed by horses in the exact moment that they need additional calming support and are disguised as TREATS, eliminating the embarrassment of syringing, while being super convenient when paired with the handy dispenser packs for your jacket pocket while riding!
With higher levels of Magnesium, Calcium & the essential B group Vitamins CHILL PILLS Nutri-Bites are an absolute must have in your tack box to give to your horse in times of stress or anxiety while at home, competing or travelling.
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.
Feeding these Nutri-Bites provides an immediate, non-swabbable support for relieving stress in anxious or excitable horses, also aided by an increase in the essential vitamins and
minerals needed.
Keeping these Nutri-Bites with you to top up at those important times such as in the warm up arena, makes for the most convenient calming support- avoiding the need or embarrassment of having to syringe your horse with calming formulas next to the ring or having to go back to the truck or float!

A more detailed approach to these elements and what they do:
1) Magnesium
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.
