Thiamine is a feed supplement for horses used for muscle tension, muscle fatigue, and problems with locking of the patella. Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, plays a central role in the horse's energy metabolism and metabolism and is especially important for the normal function of the nervous system.

Since the nervous system controls muscle work and coordination, an adequate intake of thiamine can contribute to better muscle relaxation and reduced muscle fatigue. Thiamine is therefore often used for horses that are perceived as tense, nervous, or that easily become muscularly fatigued. It is also a widely used supplement for patellar locking, where the interaction between nerves and muscles is crucial.

Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that excess is normally excreted from the body. This makes the supplement safe to use as needed over longer periods.

A deficiency of thiamine can manifest as muscle disorders, reduced energy, fatigue, and decreased appetite. A thiamine deficiency can also affect the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which can have consequences for both movement patterns and behavior.
