Lemon Balm - Feed Ingredient

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a perennial herb from the mint family (Lamiaceae), native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. The plant is known for its lemon-scented leaves, which contain a range of bioactive compounds including rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and essential oils such as citronellal and geraniol. The leaves are typically dried and ground for use in herbal formulations.

In equine nutrition, lemon balm is used as a botanical additive in supplements aimed at supporting a calm demeanor or aiding in stress management. While scientific research in horses is limited, lemon balm has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine for its potential mild sedative and antispasmodic properties.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Lemon Balm as an ingredient.
