B-Quiet
Thiamine and magnesium supplement for nervous horse
B-QUIET® is formulated to manage the symptoms of thiamine and magnesium deficiency, including irritability, nervousness and anxiety, which may result in decreased performance.
Why use B-Quiet?
- Combination or thiamine and magnesium to support excitable, highly strung or anxious horses
- Recent research has found that supplementing thiamine and organic magnesium to your horse’s diet can reduce anxiety by assisting the maintenance of nerve function
- Thiamine plays a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism and nerve transmission
- Horses on high-grain, low-forage diets or hard-working horses may have reduced production of thiamine by intestinal bacteria because of stress or hindgut acidosis
- Magnesium has an important role in muscle and nerve function
- Horses that are deficient in magnesium can show signs of spooky and excitable behaviour and may suffer muscle tremors or cramping
- Recent research has shown that magnesium supplementation may positively influence behaviour in horses during stressful situations

B-Quiet is available as an easy-to-feed pellet or convenient paste for daily or strategic use when traveling or competing.
When to use B-QUIET?
- Horses prone to hyper-irritability, nervousness and anxiety
- Horses on high-grain, low forage diets or those in heavy training
- The day of competition, travel or any stressful events such as weaning or during early stages of training
