Phenylalanine Phenylalanine is the third-most abundant amino acid in equine diets. It is important for neurotransmitter synthesis. A herbal extract that supports the hormonal balance in sensitive and moody mares by helping to regulate the hormonal cycle. Tryptophan Tryptophan is an amino acid required to make the neurotransmitters serotonin and mielatonin. Selenium Selenium is an essential micromineral that works closely with vitamin E as an antioxidant. It is involved in growth and muscle function.Niacin Niacin (vitamin B3, nicotinic acid) is required for coenzymes involved in energy production, redox reactions and cell division. Pigment Pigments are plant compounds such as chlorophyll, flavonoids and carotenes that are soluble in ether. Pigment and glycerol are subtracted from EE to get TFAee. Bacteria/Yeast Bacteria/Yeast measures probiotic ingredients added to a feed to support gut health and digestibility. Values are provided in Colony Forming Units (CFUs).

Palmitoleic acid Palmitoleic acid (C16:1) is a monounsaturated fatty acid found in plants and animals. It has a 16 carbon atom structure with a single double bond in the ninth position. Valine Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that is needed for proper muscle contractions. It can also be used to make glucose for energy. Potassium Potassium is an electrolyte that help to maintain fluid volume inside cells and cation-anion balance. Exercised horses and horses in hot weather lose potassium through sweat. Give a higher loading rate initially, then lower to a maintenance rate. The maintenance rate can be adjusted to suit your individual mare & isn't necessarily related to bodyweight. Myristic acid Myristic acid (C14:0) is a saturated fatty acid that is found in plant and animal fats. It has a chemical structure of 14 carbon atoms with no double bonds.Soluble Protein (SP) Soluble Protein is the soluble fraction of the protein that is readily available to the horse. It contains small amino acid chains and NPN.

Vitamin A Vitamin A (retinol) is made from the precursor beta-carotene. It is important for vision, reproductive health in mares and for maintaining immune function. Oleic acid Oleic acid (C18:1C) is a long-chain mono-unsaturated fatty acid. It is an omega-9 fatty acid because it has a final carbon double bond in the ninth position. Methionine Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is important for making keratin - a protein in hooves and hair. This supplement contains micronutrients that help to balance hormones, contribute to relieving muscle tension and support a calm mare.Loading rate may be used to establish her on Oestress Liquid and during the peak times of her season. Starch Starch is a complex carbohydrate found in plants - especially grains. Diets high in starch can cause gut issues in horses. Naf 5* Oestress Liquid is an effective liquid tincture formulated to aid the mare's natural oestrus cycle by promoting regularity and a calm temperament. A herbal supplement that supports temperament and hormone balance, helping to stabilise mood swings and promote calm and settled behaviour. Arginine Arginine is important for the immune system, reproductive health, circulation, and creatine production.

This natural mare supplement is a carefully cultivated mix of seven dried herbs combined to maintain hormone balance and support your mare through her season. Feed whenever seasonal behavioural changes and tension are seen in mares which can affect temperament and performance. A bespoke formulation for hormonal support would include calming herbs such as milk thistle and chamomile, and can be refined to reflect the mare’s response. Crude Protein (CP) Crude Protein is an estimate of the total protein content of a feed based on the nitrogen content. Lignin Lignin is the indigestible component of plant cell walls and has no nutritional value for the horse. High ligning levels decrease palatability.

Total Enzyme Activity Total Enzyme Activity reflects the amount of enzymatic activity present in the feed. Higher enzyme activity indicates a more digestible feed.
