Muscle health in sport horses

Sport horses often experience muscle problems – intensive training programs, travel, competitions and races require extreme muscle strain. In addition, certain genetic factors, nutritional imbalances or housing conditions (such as irregular exercise regimens) can lead to muscle disorders, sometimes unrelated to extreme strain.

Targeted nutritional support can help maintain muscle health and recovery, including:

• Increased levels of key antioxidants (vitamin E, selenium, copper) to protect muscle membranes

• Herbal ingredients with high antioxidant properties

All ingredients have been selected to be fully compliant with Racing Rules and FEI Clean Sport Guidelines.

Formulated to provide key antioxidants to support muscle health

The unique blend of ingredients includes:

• Vitamin E and selenium – key antioxidant micronutrients for neutralizing free radicals generated during exercise, reducing oxidative damage to muscle cells

• Melon pulp concentrate – naturally rich in the key antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD)

• Beetroot – contains high levels of betalain pigments with strong antioxidant properties

• Bioavailable chelated copper – participates in the production of key antioxidant enzymes to support muscle health

• Calcium gluconate - the latest research confirms the importance of transporting calcium through muscle membranes for optimal muscle function

• Glycine – an important amino acid in the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant for muscle support

All ingredients have been selected to be fully compliant with Racing Rules and FEI Clean Sport Guidelines.
