Protexin acid ease - calming effect?

[Love]

Has anyone else noticed a calming - almost very mild sedative like effect with protexin acid ease? Not used this before and 4 days in to the loading dose (50g scoop 2x per day). Unsure if this is normal and can’t find much online

It is likely because your horse is feeling more comfortable in their gut and therfore relaxed

Thanks @mini-eventer. Im hopeful that’s the reason, just with our luck at the moment I almost darent think that positively!

(Edited to add just in case, this is under vets advice. Just didn’t want to bother them with potentially silly questions)

Following with interest as my boy has just started on it. We did have a much quieter hack yesterday so hoping….

I didn’t notice any difference with my mare but I don’t think she’s had a spooky day in her life!

It’s a known thing. A good guy supplement can after be way more beneficial than over the counter calmers.
If I have a horse who’s a big wild I’d always try a gut supplement.
Good to hear it works!
