What is Placid Rein PLUS®?
Placid Rein PLUS is a unique powdered formula designed to support normal stress in horses and to help maintain a consistent attitude to work whether at home or away.
Unlike Placid Rein, Placid Rein PLUS includes resveratrol, an antioxidant that may help the body detoxify of free radicals, and Ashwaghanda (Withania), a herb known for it’s calming properties.
Placid Rein PLUS can be administered daily and long term for naturally highly strung or nervous horses. Alternatively, it may be used to help aid in pre-event nerves.

• Excessive sweating, even in moderate climates
• Loss of condition (especially when traveling)
