Zylkene Equine - Zylkene for Horses - 20 x 4g Sachets
Zylkene Equine is a scientifically formulated calming supplement specifically designed to help manage stress and anxiety in horses. Utilising a natural milk-derived protein, Zylkene supports relaxation in horses facing challenging or stressful situations. Common scenarios include transportation, vet visits, competitions, training sessions, and changes in their environment. The supplement's gentle action promotes a calming effect without causing sedation or affecting performance negatively.
Horses, despite their size and strength, are sensitive animals prone to stress and anxiety when experiencing unfamiliar environments or circumstances. Signs of stress in horses may include pacing, pawing, sweating, behavioural changes, agitation, refusal to eat, or diminished performance. Prolonged stress or anxiety can also lead to further health complications, highlighting the importance of effective stress management strategies.
Zylkene Equine is developed from a unique ingredient known as alpha-casozepine. Alpha-casozepine is a naturally occurring peptide extracted from bovine milk that has demonstrated calming properties. Its effectiveness is backed by extensive scientific research, which shows that this peptide works by mimicking the action of calming substances naturally produced in the horse's body. Alpha-casozepine interacts positively with receptors in the brain associated with stress and anxiety responses, thus helping the horse to feel calmer and more at ease.
Unlike many traditional calming supplements or sedatives, Zylkene does not cause drowsiness or impair a horse's ability to perform normal activities. Horses receiving Zylkene remain alert, responsive, and fully capable of participating in training, competitions, or routine activities. Instead, the supplement facilitates a balanced and relaxed mental state, enabling the horse to better cope with stressful situations. By using Zylkene, horse owners and trainers can manage behavioural issues arising from stress without compromising the horse’s natural abilities or safety.
