Both substances play an important role in regulating a horse's mood and can contribute to calmer behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-tryptophan is an essential amino acid used to produce serotonin, a substance responsible for regulating mood and anxiety. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain responsible for feelings of well-being and calm. When a horse has too little L-tryptophan in its diet, this can lead to anxiety and restlessness. By giving a horse L-tryptophan supplements, serotonin production can be increased, making the horse calmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium, on the other hand, is a mineral that occurs naturally in the body and helps regulate muscles and nerves.
