Sasquatch

Overview

Essential Show Feeds’ Sasquatch is a melatonin-based liquid hair growth supplement containing 100mg of melatonin per ounce. It stimulates hair growth by mimicking the seasonal hormone cues that drive winter coat development. Sold in 32 oz ($42.00) and gallon sizes. Critical naming conflict: Rule Supplements also makes a product called “Sasquatch” which is a different formulation with a different manufacturer. These are two entirely different products sharing the same name — both are in this database. Available through Valley Vet Supply among other retailers.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Melatonin-based hair growth supplements are widely used in the show circuit despite the FDA’s non-approval status for food animals. Melatonin signals the body to grow a winter coat by mimicking the shorter-daylight cues of fall. Feeders who use this product typically start it early in the program (12+ weeks out) to maximize coat growth before the show. Best results come from consistent daily use.

Phase Protocols

Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase

Introduce early. Melatonin-driven hair growth is a slow, cumulative process — early introduction yields the most visible results by show time.

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Continue daily.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Continue. Hair growth initiated earlier in the program should be visibly apparent by this phase.

Stacking Protocols

With Glisten: Glisten (topical) enhances the external appearance of hair grown by Sasquatch (internal). Natural combination. With Foundation: Foundation supports gut health and Zinpro-equivalent skin/hair mineral delivery. Sasquatch adds the melatonin growth signal on top.

Budget Alternatives

Shagedelics (sold via Livestock Performance Products) is a melatonin-focused hair growth system at a similar price point. Sawtooth Core (Sawtooth Supplement Science) also contains melatonin alongside a probiotic/biotin blend. Rule Supplements’ “Sasquatch” (different product, same name) may achieve hair growth through different mechanisms — confirm ingredient list.
