PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Perfect Prep EQ™ Gold Calming Paste

Perfect Prep EQ™ Gold Calming Paste is a long-acting formula that helps support focus and attitude in horses for an extended period. Effects begin within six hours and last for up to 18 hours.

Key features:

  • Works within six hours.
  • Effects last up to 18 hours.
  • Targeted active ingredients.
  • No prohibited ingredients*.

Use the night before and the morning of an event. Perfect Prep EQ Gold works well alone or with other Perfect Prep EQ Calming Supplements.

Active Ingredients: proprietary blend of magnesium citrate/carbonate, thiamine mononitrate, inositol, metaphan, deglycyrrhized licorice root, pyridoxine HCl, riboflavin.

  • Magnesium is an essential mineral in the horse that acts to stabilize the fright-flight reflex. It works on the cellular level to help store glucose and minimize the rapid changes in blood sugar that causes excitability. Magnesium in high levels is also effective at slowing the heart rate and relaxing muscles.

    Magnesium and calcium, both essential minerals in the horse, are chemically very similar but have opposite effects at the cellular level. Calcium is primarily present outside the cell wall while magnesium is abundant inside the cell. Magnesium calms the nervous and cardio-vascular system; calcium excites nerves. Calcium is required for muscle contraction; magnesium causes muscle relaxation. In the performance equine, the additional stress created by training and performance causes an instant deficit in magnesium, and an overabundance of calcium, resulting in excitability, muscle cramps and stress overload.

    Different forms of magnesium are absorbed in different parts of the digestive system. One of the benefits of the Perfect Prep EQ formula is that the appropriate magnesium compound is used in our formulas to produce optimum effect and quickly correct the imbalances in the calcium-magnesium ratio.
  • Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential B vitamin that is key in the digestion of polysaccharides. Large doses of thiamine are known to provide a high level of calming effect on the horse. Perfect Prep EQ™ products use effective levels of the most absorbable thiamine compounds to calm the nervous system and relax the horse.
  • Inositol (vitamin B8) is required for proper formation of cell membranes. It is effective in Perfect Prep EQ formulas as a stabilizing element in the transmission of nerve impulses. Inositol provides an overall calming effect on the nervous system.
  • Metaphan (gastric-friendly seratonin and melatonin release blend) combines 2-amino-3- (5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl) propanoic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid, with a gastric buffer to produce a gastric friendly relaxing effect.
  • Deglycyrrhized Licorice Root (DGL) may act as a gastric anti-inflammatory agent and gastric lining soother. Gastric irritation contributes to equine anxiety, and soothing the gut helps to eliminate distraction from stomach upset.
  • Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) serves as a cofactor in many enzyme reactions mainly in amino acid metabolism, including biosynthesis of neurotransmitters. It significantly boosts the relaxing effects of Perfect Prep EQ Gold paste.
  • Riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B2, is used in both humans and animals to create a sense of calm and well-being.

Suggested Use: Administer 30cc the night before performance and 30cc the morning of performance. Maximum effects are evident after 6 hours and last for up to 18 hours. Repeat with additional 30cc to 60cc to maintain or increase desired effect. Effects are cumulative with repeated use.

*Rules on prohibited substances change; always consult the governing body of your competition for the most accurate prohibited substance list.
