Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) grows in parts of Europe and Asia and is often useful for horses whose anxiety is not eased by a magnesium supplement, as they are either not magnesium deficient, or their behaviour is not caused by the deficiency.
 
Valerian is useful for helping anxious horses to relax without causing any drowsiness or affecting their performance. It can also be helpful in stressful situations such as box rest, travelling etc. 
 
Our Valerian root is in powdered form and offer superior absorption of the active ingredients when compared with the 'cut root' shreds that are widely available.
 
Valerian is a banned substance by the FEI and Jockey Club. For competition calmers, please consider our chamomile, vervain, lemon balm and hops.
 
Valerian and hops enhance each other’s calming effects when fed together.
As with all supplements, we recommend a gradual introduction to the horse’s feed, building up to the full dose over a few days. 
 
No fillers or bulking agents added.
DO NOT FEED VALERIAN TO PREGNANT OR LACTATING MARES
