SFM PRO™ Extra Calmer includes essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids providing high quality equine nutrition. Ideal as part of our 3-step programme as a long-term feeding plan for continued gut health and for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.
Low in Sugar (1.47%) and Starch (<0.5%) and high in Fibre, the key ingredients Milled Chia Seeds, Flax, L-Alanine, Vitamin C & E and Peppermint Leaf contribute to supporting a healthy digestive system.
Nutritional Info
Milled Chia Seed
Milled chia seeds support gut wall integrity, gut motility and support a healthy microbiome. They contain soluble fibre, which forms a gel-like substance when mixed with digestive fluids. It helps slow down digestion, allowing better nutrient absorption and the fibre in chia acts as a prebiotic, assisting with the fermentation of forage. Chia Seeds also contain flavonoids and phenolic acids that help reduce oxidative stress. The 3:1 ratio of Omega 3 to 6 in Chia Seeds is close to the essential fatty acid ratio naturally present in pasture grasses.
Flax
Flaxseed is rich in soluble fibre, particularly mucilage which forms a gel like coating when mixed with digestive fluids acting as a barrier against stomach acid. Flax is one of the best plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid helping with gastric and intestinal inflammation.
L-Alanine
L-Alanine is a proteinogenic amino acid; meaning that it is a building block for proteins and plays a key role in glucose production which provides energy to gut barrier cells.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vital for collagen synthesis helping keep the gut wall flexible and strong.
Vitamin E (DL-a-Tocopheryl Acetate 700iu)
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, that plays a critical role in protecting the horse from everyday oxidative stress and supports health and protects cell membranes. In addition, it is an essential vitamin (meaning your horse cannot synthesise it and it must be provided in the diet).
Peppermint Leaf Powder
Peppermint encourages fussy horses to eat, and it contains menthol, which can help to soothe the digestive tract, reduce gas, and provide support for horses suffering with digestive issues.
3-Step Gastric Programme
Step 1 – Gastro™ is the most concentrated formula in the gastric range, helping preserve and restore intestinal barrier function. Ideal for horses showing symptoms of gastric discomfort, changes in behaviour, grass and turnout changes, travelling and competitions.
Step 2 – Gastro Extend™ can be used as a follow on from Gastro™ – Step 1 or used as maintenance if your horse has a sensitive gut or is prone to stress.
Step 3 – SFM PRO™ & SFM PRO – Extra Calmer™ is a daily gut maintenance for your horses gut health. Includes essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, ideal for when grazing is limited, grass is lacking and throughout winter when nutrients in the grass are lower or turnout is restricted.

We can really tell the difference with my mare especially since she is a cribber when I ran out a for a day or two people really noticed that she was more grumpy and cribbing a lot more and as soon as I put her back on it she was good as gold she has never been off it since

Great…

Happy horse!
I started Molly on Gastro Step 1 and was amazed at the difference in her after just a few days. She’s now on SFM PRO Extra Calmer Step 3 and Sensitive Mare when she’s in season. She’s so much happier and relaxed when she’s in her stable and ridden. Thank you for your help and advice too 😊

SFM PRO EXTRA CALMER
I fully recommend this product due previously having a stressy mare which I had tried numerous products and remedies on her to no avail
I started her on the SFM PRO programme that supports a healthy digestive system in gut maintenance and she has gone from a mare who wouldn’t stand to be brushed or fight to go into her stable to a gentle calm loving mare
The vet even asked me if she was the same horse
Marvellous product and has done wonders for my mare
She is now on a daily scoop a day and her overal condition is brilliant
Thank you for all the advise and guidance along the way

SFM Pro Extra Calmer
This supplement has been amazing. My ex-racer was stressy, wild and grumpy when he first arrived. I tried loads of different supplements but nothing worked until I found this. I noticed a big difference in just a few days and I now have a relaxed and happy horse who is progressing well in his dressage training. Thank you!

New horse!
Over the last 18 months the Gastro range has been instrumental in totally transforming my stressful ulcer prone exracer. He has been on the final maintenance stage (SFM plus extra calmer) since May and is unrecognisable. Thank you for giving me my dream horse back!

I am absolutely amazed by this product!
Usually my mare gets very anxious and fresh when she’s clipped during the colder months. This year I decided to pop her onto the SFM PRO Extra Calmer in advance of her having her clip, and it has worked wonders. She has remained level headed and calm, whilst still being able to continue on a gut maintenance supplement.
