Why do many horses calm down when fed NATURAL GLO?

NATURAL GLO contains B vitamins and tryptophan (an amino acid) that have been associated with a calming effect on animals and humans. However, the main reason that many horses changed from high-grain rations to NATURAL GLO rations seem calmer is that they no longer are eating a lot of starch from carbohydrates that tends to produce a 'grain high.' NATURAL GLO doesn't provide nutrients that increase the glycemic response (increased blood sugar), so, often, the final result is a 'calmer horse.' See similar questions...

Why does MOORGLO contain NATURAL GLO stabilized rice bran?

NATURAL GLO provides energy from rice oil and structural carbohydrates from rice bran. NATURAL GLO is a food-grade product that contains over 20% fat and is stable for one year. Stabilized rice bran is the only source of certain antioxidants that are reported to enhance lean muscle growth. NATURAL GLO is also an all-natural source of vitamin E and many B-complex vitamins necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. See similar questions...

What is NATURAL GLO?

NATURAL GLO is 100% stabilized rice bran with no additives or preservatives. Rice bran is the brown part of the rice kernel that is left on the brown rice and milled off from white rice. Rice bran accounts for only 5-8% of the paddy rice weight, but contains over 60% of the nutrients found in each kernel of rice. Raw rice bran is very unstable; therefore it can become rancid within 24 hours if not stabilized. See similar questions...

How much MOORGLO and GROSTRONG Minerals should be fed?

Feed I-3 lb of MOORGLO and I-3 oz of GROSTRONG Minerals along with about 15-20 lb of good quality forage and additional grains or feed products only when necessary. The exact amount fed will depend on the age, reproductive status, workload, condition, and size of the horse. However, a good rule of thumb is to feed 4 oz of MOORGLO per 100 lb of body weight per horse daily, then adjust according to the horse's condition. Call 1 (800) 680-8254 for additional information.

Can NATURAL GLO and GROSTRONG Minerals be fed with feeds like Patriot and Tindle Trails?

What should I do if I fed Natural Balance canned foods to my pet?

Is NATURAL GLO a supplement?

In Feeding and Care of the Horse (Lewis, LD. Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1995), Lewis defines a supplement as "a feed mixture added to a diet to increase the amount of a specific nutrient(s)". However, most people think of a supplement as something fed in relatively small amounts. NATURAL GLO is a feed, because it provides many nutrients rather than a few. But, since it is fed at the rate of 1/2 to 2 lb. per day, it is commonly called a supplement. See similar questions...
