Kentucky Equine Research B-Quiet

B-QUIET® is formulated to manage the symptoms of thiamine and magnesium deficiency, including irritability, nervousness and anxiety, which may result in decreased performance.

Why use B-Quiet?

• Combination or thiamine and magnesium to support excitable, highly strung or anxious horses
• Recent research has found that supplementing thiamine and organic magnesium to your horse’s diet can reduce anxiety by assisting the maintenance of nerve function
• Thiamine plays a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism and nerve transmission
• Horses on high-grain, low-forage diets or hard-working horses may have reduced production of thiamine by intestinal bacteria because of stress or hindgut acidosis
• Magnesium has an important role in muscle and nerve function
• Horses that are deficient in magnesium can show signs of spooky and excitable behaviour and may suffer muscle tremors or cramping
• Recent research has shown that magnesium supplementation may positively influence behaviour in horses during stressful situations
• Does not contain prohibited substances
