Muscle supplements
If you have a competition horse or a horse that’s suffered with muscle issues, such as azoturia, you’re probably very aware of the array of supplements available to help support this important area. We have a number of carefully formulated muscle supplements that contain high levels of important ingredients to really deliver. Here’s a quick guide to our range of muscle supplements:
- A natural amino acid that helps build lean muscle mass and provides more energy.
- Can also be used as a buffer against lactic acid.
- Can be fed to horses undergoing strenuous exercise.
- 1kg will last for 100 days when fed at the suggested amount for maintenance.
Dee-Tye & Drink Liquid
- Carefully formulated liquid supplement to support healthy muscle function.
- With natural antioxidants, trace elements, minerals, body salts, D-alpha Tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), selenium and citric acid.
- Helps to encourage the horse to drink, which can help prevent the horse’s muscles from stiffening up.
- 1L will last for 33 days
- Dimethyl Glycine (DMG) is also known as vitamin B15 or Pangamic Acid
- It helps to optimise oxygen uptake and, therefore, reduces recovery times following strenuous exercise.
- It can also help to maintain acid balance and reduce muscle fatigue.
- 1kg will last for 66 days
- L-carnitine is a natural amino acid.
- It helps the body to release more energy during warm up, improves recovery times and can also help prevent exhaustion.
- It can be used when horses are involved in strenuous exercise, such as racing.
- 80ml of L-Carnitine is suggested on the day of strenuous activity when the liquid is fed, or 10ml can be given via oral syringe two to three times a week, and then a further 10ml before hard work.
