Description: Relax Pro is the complementary feed conceived on the basis of the knowledge of the metabolic processes causing anxiety and irritability in horses. Therefore, it is the perfect product to facilitate horses’ serenity.

When to use Relax Pro: Relax Pro is conceived for young horses starting their competitive careers and for anxious or irritable horses. Several competitive athletes use Relax Pro regularly, for it make horses face competitions calmly, thus reducing their effort and improving their performances. It is the perfect product for young horses starting their competitive careers, for they need absolute mental concentration. Moreover, Relax Pro is very useful during transports and long trips. Finally, it can significantly help horses cope with competition anxiety.

Properties of its constituents: Relax Pro contains an extremely high concentration of L-tryptophan, an amino acid transforming in the body into serotonin, also known as "the good mood hormone". Moreover, tryptophan is directly involved in the synthesis of kynurenic acid and its derivatives (a group of substances exerting a neuroprotective action on the body). Tryptophan is naturally contained in spirulina algae and in food, such as meat, dairy products and nuts. Nowadays, supplementation with tryptophan is believed to have an adaptogen effect (44).
L-tryptophan is also a precursor to melatonin, the substance that controls sleep and wake cycles, thus generating serenity. Therefore, it can be affirmed that supplementation with tryptophan has an effect on horses' character. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid; therefore, the body cannot synthesize it independently: it can only be taken through diet and supplementation, just as men and, in particular, children have been doing for several years (44). Relax Pro is supplemented with Passiflora incarnata extract in order to increase its relaxing effect. Passiflora extract's anxiolytic effect in men has been proven. Its alkaloids have a particular affinity for benzodiazepine receptors, which make passiflora extract particularly useful to calm nervous excitement states, such as palpitations and increased heartbeat (11, 43). Thanks to the high concentration of its active ingredients, Relax Pro can be used while training for competitions. When required, it suggested to pair Relax Pro with Prequalm syringes before competitions. Relax Pro does not cause addiction at all: after the administration horses will be awake and alert. The product is supplemented with magnesium citrates, which are completely water-soluble and ensure high magnesium bioavailability.

Use and dosage: Administer 30-50 g of Relax Pro per day, for at least 7-10 consecutive days before a competition. Results will be evident after 7-10 days from the first administration.

This product does not cause any adverse reaction. Nevertheless, since every organism has its own peculiarities, dietary supplements, feeds and complementary feeds should always be introduced in a horse’s diet gradually, in order to evaluate the product’s effects on the horse.
