When the gate swings open or the lights come up at the show, every horseman wants the same thing: a horse that is focused, fueled, and ready to perform. OralX Brands has been answering that need for more than 40 years with a deceptively simple idea — premium nutrition delivered as an oral paste, straight onto the back of the tongue, exactly when the horse needs it. Family-owned and made in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, OralX is the original oral paste, built to give serious competitors and weekend riders alike a cost-effective edge.
OralX builds an entire family of single-dose oral pastes for horses, each one engineered around a job. Every paste tube is marked for one plunger mark per 100 lbs of body weight, so dosing is fast, precise, and repeatable — no scoops, no mixing, no waiting for a horse to clean up a feed pan before a class. Because the formula goes directly onto the tongue, you control exactly how much your horse takes and exactly when, which is why so many of OralX's products are timed to the hours right before a performance.
Fire Drive™ is OralX's mental-focus paste, formulated with L-Tyrosine (a minimum 3.5 g per 34 g tube) plus an herbal blend of Gotu Kola and Ginger Root extracts. It is designed to help support energy metabolism, maintain healthy nervous system function, and keep a horse focused in stressful conditions — the company describes the goal as making sure the nervous system is firing on all cylinders. Riders feed Fire Drive™ onto the back of the tongue 2 to 4 hours before competition, at one plunger mark per 100 lbs of body weight.
Oral X-Factor™ is the performance-recovery paste, delivering a complete package of electrolytes, vitamins, and amino-acid-chelated minerals to help replenish the key nutrients a horse loses through exertion. Its formula pairs Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Carnosine with a full B-complex (Thiamine, Niacin, Riboflavin, B-12, Pantothenic acid, Pyridoxine), Vitamins A, D-3 and E, and essential minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt. It is built to support glucose metabolism and help manage lactic-acid buildup during training and competition, fed about 4 hours before exercise.
Beyond the performance line, OralX offers Cacoliv™, a complete horse supplement for general nutritional health, plus a full bench of targeted formulas: Electro-Plex for electrolyte replenishment, Minta Lyptus for respiratory support, Rebound 3 for recovery, Oralx-B and the Micro B-1, Micro B-12 and Micro Iron line for vitamin and mineral support, and Smooth Mover for digestive support. For nervous or excitable horses, the Calm & Cool line comes as both pellets and an oral tube, alongside the Show Horse 2 competition composure formula. OralX even extends the same paste science to cattle, pigs and dogs with products like Calf Calm, Show Calf 2, Pig Calm and K-9 Calm™.
OralX Corporation has manufactured its supplements for over four decades as a family-owned and operated American company, sourcing ingredients domestically and globally and producing in its Utah facility in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The pastes are formulated for real working schedules — many require no withdrawal time for animals intended for slaughter, and core products are noted as safe for pregnant mares and heifers. With pricing that runs from a single tube to a case of 12, a 60-day money-back guarantee, and free shipping on orders over $75, OralX delivers premium oral-paste nutrition at a genuinely economical price.
An oral paste is a single-dose supplement delivered from a marked plunger tube directly onto the back of the horse's tongue. OralX pioneered this format — calling itself the original oral paste — because it lets you dose precisely (one plunger mark per 100 lbs of body weight) and time the dose to the exact moment a horse needs it, with no mixing or feed-pan waiting.
Feed the contents onto the back of the horse's tongue, using one mark on the plunger for every 100 lbs of the horse's body weight. Performance pastes like Fire Drive™ are given 2 to 4 hours before competition, while Oral X-Factor™ is given about 4 hours before exercise or competition.
Fire Drive™ contains L-Tyrosine (minimum 3.5 g per 34 g tube), Gotu Kola Extract and Ginger Root Extract, in a base of water, corn oil, xanthan gum, sorbic acid (preservative) and natural flavors. It is formulated to support energy metabolism, maintain nervous system function, and help a horse stay focused under stressful conditions.
Oral X-Factor™ provides a complete package of electrolytes, vitamins, and amino-acid-chelated minerals to help replenish the key nutrients lost during exercise. It supports glucose metabolism and helps manage lactic-acid buildup, helping equine athletes maintain performance through training and competition.
Yes. While horses are the core of the line, OralX produces the same paste-based formulas across equine, bovine, porcine and canine categories — including Calf Calm and Show Calf 2 for cattle, Pig Calm and Show Pig for swine, and K-9 Calm™ for dogs.
OralX notes that its products require no withdrawal time for animals intended for slaughter, and core formulas are described as safe for use in pregnant mares and heifers. Always follow the label directions for the specific product.
