Equine Calming Without Sedation
Compose® 2x is a pelleted concentrated calming formula for horses prone to anxiety or excitability in stressful situations. Because Compose® 2x does not contain substances or ingredients that lead to sedation or loss of alertness, it is an alternative to the utilization of tranquilizers.
Many horses are sensitive to activities such as trailer loading, hauling, grooming, farrier work, veterinary examinations, showing, separation anxiety and other stressful situations. The excitability often places the horse and handler into hazardous circumstances. Compose® 2x contains tryptophan, thiamine, and magnesium that help calm the horse while keeping him alert and responsive. Tryptophan is a building block of serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin regulates mood balance and is responsible for the transmission of nerve signals through the brain. Thiamine plays a role in nerve transmission and is important in controlling hyperactivity. Magnesium is important in maintaining correct nerve transmission and muscle function. Compose® 2x provides mental composure without the negative side effects of tranquilizers.

Administer 2 scoops (85 grams or 1/2 standard kitchen measuring cup) per 1,000 lbs (450 kg) body weight on an empty stomach.

Administer 2 scoops (85 grams or 1/2 standard kitchen measuring cup) per 1,000 lbs (450 kg) body weight once per day with a meal
L-Tryptophan is a prohibited substance in certain competitions. The event sanctioning body can provide the status of L-Tryptophan and, if prohibited, the necessary withdrawal time.
“Last Friday I moved to another stable with my 14 year old Hanoverian gelding. Prior to the journey I gave my horse Compose. I was astonished by the effect which it had on my horse and hardly recognized him. He stepped into the trailer totally at ease, as if he did it every weekend; his last trailer trip was almost three years ago. Unloading was no issue either, he behaved like a pro – previously he would storm out backwards from the trailer. On arrival he surveyed his new surroundings and was really laid back. This is very unusual for him because he is normally extremely excitable and nervous.”
