Why Calming?

A feed balancer with added calming supplements, removing the need for additional supplementation, saving you money, and ensuring your pony/horse receives the necessary nutrients whilst staying stress free.

Does your horse become easily stressed or are they naturally highly strung?

Have you had little to no luck with other calming supplements?

Blue Chip Super Concentrated Calming Balancer combines all the high-quality ingredients of Blue Chip feed balancers, PLUS magnesium, L-tryptophan and chamomile which have proven calming effects on ponies and horses. The primary reason for combining a calmer and a feed balancer is that stress and digestion have a symbiotic relationship; stress can cause digestive issues, and digestive issues can cause stress. The probiotics in Calming balancer restore the natural balance of the gut flora and help to maintain the natural well-being of the digestive system, allowing optimum utilisation of the carefully formulated combination of vitamins, minerals and nutrients present in all the Blue Chip balancers.

Key Ingredients

Triple-action calming supplement - Three active calming ingredients. Many horse owners can relate to calming supplements not always being effective, as horses react in different ways to different calmers. By including three methods of calming alongside a feed balancer, ensures higher likelihood of efficacy, and most owners will see a distinct change in behaviour.

• Chamomile - A natural ingredient well-known for its calming abilities.

• L-tryptophan - An amino acid derivative, included as the precursor for serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone.

• Magnesium - often called the “calming mineral”, is included to keep ponies and horses calm and stress free.

Double-action digestive supplement - In addition to the active calmers listed above, a double-action digestive supplement will settle the digestive system ensuring horses feel comfortable and relaxed. Calming balancer combines a high concentration of probiotics with nucleotides. This supplement is proven to increase forage digestibility by up to 100% in a study conducted by Hartpury College.

Nutritional profile - To ensure the correct functioning of the metabolic system, central nervous system and immune system, a full nutrient, vitamin and mineral profile is included. Calming is part of our super concentrated range of balancers, meaning daily feeding rates are as low as 50g, whilst still providing all essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Calming is balanced to achieve safe growth rates, bone strength and joint health. Blue Chip uses organic/chelated minerals to ensure optimum absorption and effectiveness.

Nucleotides - Essential to every cell in the body, a key part of the digestive supplement, they are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Nucleotides help support immunity, stamina, cell replication, and repair of damaged cells.

Skin and coat - Calming has added levels of oils and organic zinc. This includes soya oil and linseed oil, natural, vegetable sources of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Combined with organic zinc, the oils ensure healthy, scurf-free skin and a glossy, gleaming coat.

SoundHoof™ - Like all Blue Chip balancers, Calming contains a complete hoof supplement with biotin, methionine, lysine, organic zinc and organic copper. This is ideal for the formation of strong, pliable, good quality hooves.

PrimoVento™ - A complete respiratory supplement is included in Calming. This supplement contains antioxidants, menthol, eucalyptus and garlic, and helps soothe the airways and maintain lung health and integrity.

Immune support - Antioxidants, including selenium, vitamin C and vitamin E, are added to Calming to aid the ‘mopping up’ of free radicals and promote a healthy immune system.
