How does strotonin help my horse with stress, fear and restlessness?
When there is physical or nervous tension, the body's need for magnesium increases. At the same time, magnesium makes the nerves less excitable and counteracts the release of stress hormones. Magnesium fumarate is a highly available, organic magnesium source with high bioavailability , which ensures rapid and lasting stress reduction for your animal.
Passion flower extract has a relaxing, balancing and anti-anxiety effect. The medicinal plant originally comes from Central America, came to Europe in the 17th century and was initially only used as an ornamental plant due to its unusual appearance. In the 19th century, doctors began to use passionflower as a remedy for nervousness, stress and sleep disorders thanks to its calming effects. Since then it has also been successfully used in natural medicine for humans.
Since the body cannot produce essential amino acids itself, sufficient intake through food is essential. For example, the body needs the amino acid L-tryptophan to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is often referred to as the “happiness hormone”. It therefore plays a crucial role in the psychological well-being of the animal.
Our special composition of certain amino acids in the product “Strotonin” ensures a satisfied and relaxed horse with just an administration of 1-2 grams per day.
Strotonin is available in individual portions of 1 gram and in 4 pack sizes.
Application
For strotonin to be optimally effective, it is necessary that the animal builds up a good level of the active ingredient. We therefore recommend starting feeding strotonin 3-4 days before the stressful situation in which you want to support your animal. Strotonin is suitable for long-term use.

Application examples for horses
Below we have put together typical use cases for administering Strotonin Horse Support for you:
Horses are movement animals. Their entire body structure is designed for movement and optimal use of energy, and exercise is an absolute must for the psyche and physical well-being of the running horse. In everyday life you will be kept busy through exercise and regular training.
However, if there is a healing phase after an illness/surgery in which the animal cannot move as usual, stress can quickly arise. The horse is underutilized, feels uncomfortable, and in the worst case, bucks so much in the box or when being led that it delays its healing phase or injures itself even more. To prevent this problem, an important first step is to adjust the energy content of the feed, as well as to ensure social contacts and variety, as long as the health condition allows this. Horse owners understandably want to avoid long-term medical sedation of the animal. In most cases, it is not necessary to give horses sedatives to combat pit fever, such as strotonin. Ease your horse through the nerve-wracking healing phase without sedating him by adding a daily dose of strotonin to his feed.
For many animals, a visit to the vet or farrier is stressful. Of course, this may be because the animal has already had unpleasant experiences, for example from a painful injection during a previous visit to the vet. Often there is no specific trigger, but stress and anxiety arise from the “surroundings” of a visit to the vet, dentist or farrier: strange smells and people, a certain tension in the stable, and possibly the stable mates are also anxious and restless. These factors lead to stress and nervousness in many horses, which usually arise before the actual treatment.
Strotonin has a balancing effect and ensures better inner balance even in stressful situations. To make your animal's visit to the vet or blacksmith more pleasant, we recommend administering strotonin 3-4 days in advance and on the day of treatment itself. Strotonin helps your horse to react more calmly and calmly. It is particularly important that it does not have a sedating effect and does not interact with other medications.
To provide additional support for your animal, please try to be as calm and calm as possible. Your horse trusts you and is further strengthened by your calmness.
A day of competition is particularly stressful not only for many riders, but also for many horses. Everything is different than in everyday stable life, there are strange people, animals, noises and smells everywhere. Quite a few animals react nervously, insecurely and are, for example, “peepy” in such a special situation. The judge's table, flower pots or a parasol - many things distract from the actual tournament situation and make it difficult to concentrate and safely perform the exam.
For more calmness and less stress on tournament day, we recommend starting feeding 3-4 days before the exam. Experience reports from our customers show that a clear change in the horses' internal balance is noticeable and that they are noticeably more relaxed and less starry. If training success continues, the administration of strotonin can be gradually shortened - always taking the individual mood of the animal into account.
For many horses and their owners, traveling in a trailer is an extremely stressful situation - especially if the journey lasts several hours. Horses are flight animals, and narrow and closed spaces/transporters represent a potential danger for them. It becomes particularly problematic if the animal becomes anxious/nervous while driving and wants to get out of the trailer.
The horse's movements while driving can injure itself and impair the driving safety of the driver/other road users. A situation that should be avoided at all costs! To ensure that you and your pet travel as relaxed and calmly as possible, we recommend starting strotonin 3-4 days before departure so that an effective level can build up in good time.
Strotonin has a stabilizing and balancing effect and helps your animal to react more calmly and calmly in the unfamiliar transport situation.
Loud noises cause fear and stress in many horses. Especially on New Year's Eve, many animals react in panic to the loud and unusual noises and the burning smell of the fireworks. Getting used to New Year's Eve is difficult because the situation only occurs once a year - young and old animals are therefore often affected equally. If your horse reacts anxiously during storms/thunderstorms, it is likely that he will also develop anxiety on New Year's Eve.
You can make this very special day of the year easier for your four-legged friend and start giving strotonin 3-4 days before New Year's Eve. Strotonin has a stabilizing and balancing effect and prevents panic-like sudden actions. Please also ensure that your animal has a safe and relaxed environment. Strotonin helps your animal react more calmly and calmly - but it does not have a sedating effect. Your animal's escape reflexes continue to work. If possible, bring your horse into the stable early and, if necessary, leave the lights and a radio on to distract the horses from the unfamiliar situation outside. If your horse is outside on New Year's Eve, be sure to check the pasture fences and paddocks so that there is no risk of escape.
Storms can often be planned with less advance notice, but the same applies here: ensure a relaxed and safe environment for your four-legged friend. If there is a severe weather warning, you can also feed strotonin with a treat or some food regardless of the next main meal so that an effective active level can build up in good time.
When you change stables, your horse loses the familiar environment and routine that it experiences in everyday life. A new home, new stable/herd mates, perhaps even a different type of husbandry or new feeding times - many four-legged friends initially react to such a new situation with stress and discomfort. It takes time for an animal to get used to the new conditions and settle in. until now. During this adjustment phase, strotonin can help your horse deal with the new situation more calmly. Start taking strotonin 3-4 days before moving. If your horse has already adjusted well after a week, you can shorten the dose to every other day and stop it after another week.
