NAF Oestress Powder 500g – Hormonal and Behavioural Support for Mares
NAF Oestress Powder 500g is a specialist equine supplement designed to support hormonal balance, calm behaviour and concentration in mares. Formulated with a carefully selected combination of herbs, magnesium and nutritional ingredients, Oestress provides targeted support for mares experiencing seasonal mood changes, tension or changes in temperament.
Some mares experience behavioural changes associated with their normal hormonal cycles. These changes may affect their concentration, willingness to work or general behaviour during training and everyday handling.
NAF Oestress Powder provides nutritional support for mares that may become tense, distracted or unsettled during particular times of the year.
The formulation contains traditional botanical ingredients including chaste tree berries, black cohosh, Withania, skullcap and schisandra berries, alongside magnesium oxide and other selected nutritional components.
Supplied in a convenient 500g tub, NAF Oestress Powder is designed for daily feeding and can be incorporated into an appropriate equine nutritional programme.

Hormonal Support for Mares
Mares naturally experience hormonal fluctuations as part of their reproductive cycle. In some individuals, these changes may be accompanied by increased tension, irritability or variations in behaviour.
NAF Oestress Powder is formulated to provide nutritional support during periods when hormonal changes may influence a mare’s temperament or concentration.
The combination of selected herbs and magnesium provides a practical addition to an appropriate feeding programme.
However, changes in behaviour may have several causes, including pain, discomfort, management issues or underlying health conditions.
Persistent or unusual behavioural changes should therefore be discussed with a veterinary surgeon.
Supporting Calm Behaviour and Concentration
Calmness and concentration are important during schooling, training and everyday handling.
Some mares may become distracted or unsettled during particular stages of their hormonal cycle, which can make consistent training more challenging.
NAF Oestress Powder provides nutritional support for mares that may benefit from additional help maintaining a relaxed and focused outlook.
Its formulation is designed to complement appropriate training, consistent handling and suitable management.
Traditional Herbal Ingredients
NAF Oestress contains a carefully selected blend of botanical ingredients commonly associated with traditional equine herbal nutrition.
Chaste Tree Berries
Chaste tree berries, also known as Vitex agnus-castus, are traditionally included in herbal formulations associated with female reproductive and hormonal support.
They form part of the specialist botanical blend used in NAF Oestress.
Withania
Withania is a botanical ingredient included in various equine supplements intended to support normal wellbeing and behaviour.
Within Oestress, it complements the wider herbal formulation.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in normal nerve and muscle function.
NAF Oestress contains magnesium oxide as part of its nutritional composition.
Additional Botanical Ingredients
The formulation also contains black cohosh, skullcap, schisandra berries, rosehip shells, liquorice root, turmeric and ginger root.
These ingredients contribute to the product’s specialist herbal composition.
Year-Round Support for Mares
Although hormonal behaviour is often associated with particular seasons, some mares may require nutritional support at different times throughout the year.
NAF Oestress Powder is designed to be included in a suitable daily feeding routine according to the individual mare’s requirements.
The manufacturer’s feeding guidance allows the recommended maintenance amount to be adjusted within the stated range.
For best results, combine appropriate nutrition with regular turnout, suitable exercise and consistent horse management.

Supporting Everyday Equine Wellbeing
A horse’s behaviour can be influenced by diet, hormonal activity, physical comfort, management and environmental conditions.
Maintaining a suitable routine that includes appropriate forage, turnout, exercise and consistent handling is important for overall wellbeing.

However, supplementation should complement rather than replace professional veterinary assessment where behavioural changes suggest pain or illness.
