The composition may provide the six primary active ingredients alone or may provide these together with one or more of the listed optional minerals and other materials important in the stress response. Vit E may optionally be given in a daily dose of 1 mg to 600 mg, preferably 10 mg to 400 mg and very preferably 10 mg to 50 mg.
