BIO NUTRITION FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

Recommended Serving: For Maintenance & Stressful conditions 1 scoop (50 gr) daily 70cc scoop included For maximum performance feed 2 scoops daily plus 1 additional scoop evening before events

DMG: (DIMETHYLGLYCINE) (1500 mg per scoop) Has long been used by athletes to improve overall performance and endurance, to enhance oxygen utilization and improve recovery after strenuous exercise. A trial conducted using DMG in the diet of racing standardbreds, resulted in lower blood lactic acid levels following training. Trainers found these horses to be more ‘aggressive’, to have better appetites and attitudes, and to recover faster from racing and training.

L-Glutamine: (1000 mg per scoop) The demand for this non-essential amino acid increases dramatically when the body is repairing damaged tissue. Supplementation with L-glutamine will create an increase in nitrogen retention to enhance anabolism and allow the body to repair tissue more efficiently. During endurance training, L-Glutamine will prevent the body from using muscle as fuel by sparing glycogen stores, increasing endurance. 

L-Lysine: (6000 mg per scoop) An essential amino acid which is the necessary building blocks for all protein. Lysine is most often deficient in horse diets. Supplementation is highly recommended for horses in training and performance horses. It is needed for appropriate muscle, blood and hoof development. Helps in collagen formation and repairs tissues. 

Antioxidants: (1500 mg per scoop)Lipoic Acid: (50 mg)A powerful antioxidant that significantly increases the cellular nutrient absorption potential. Mimics insulin to increase glucose and amino acid absorption, enhancing recovery and muscle tone, energy and stamina. 

Vitamin C: (450 mg)During periods of peak performance, the body requires more Vitamin C for tissue recovery and restoration. Vitamin E: (1000 mg)Enhances muscle tone and endurance, is a potent antioxidant.

Creatine Monohydrate: (10,000 mg per scoop) Creatine properly reacted with a Krebs Cycle Intermediate to create a molecule with a higher bioavailability. Five times more soluble, more absorbable and more active than creatine monohydrate. Increased bioavailability means you use less for saturation and maintenance and hypersaturation is possible. Creatine Citrate is not a single blend, rather an innovative molecule engineered for increased bioactivity. Creatine absorption into the muscles is enhanced by the simultaneous ingestion of glucose. May produce more ATP for extra energy, speed and endurance. Buffers the lactic acid build up. 

Inosine: (2000 mg per scoop) Inosine is a metabolic activator that increases oxygen carrying capacity of the hemoglobin (blood) and induces oxygen transfer from the blood to myoglobin (muscle). It also promotes ATP synthesis, preventing its depletion. ATP powers the contraction of muscle, therefore, inosine will reduce fatigue and enhance endurance and strength. 
Carbohydrate (20,000 mg per scoop) Maltodextrin, Glucose and fructose for muscles and energy supply. 

The importance of the initial muscle glycogen concentration in high intensity exercise has been reported. The general consensus is that muscle glycogen concentration plays a significant role in performance by providing extra dietary carbohydrates prior, during and after exercise

For optimum results, we recommend to feed with CARBOFORCE, our glycogen loading formula.

Curcumin 95% Extract 4500 mg per serving
An extract of Tumeric, this is a potent anti-inflammatory supplement which enhances the recovery of damaged tissue and is as effective as cortisone or phenylbutazone (bute). However, while cortisone and bute are associated with significant toxicity, curcumin displays virtually no toxicity, in addition to being a superior anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant to combat free radicals. This remarkable herbal extract can prevent liver damage from toxins and decrease bleeding into the lungs by reducing stress related inflammatory hypertension (elevated blood pressure)

Bromelain 2000 GDU 1750 mg per serving
This protein digesting enzyme will enhance the absorption of curcumin and create a synergistic effect reducing swelling, inflammation and promoting wound healing. It has been used in a variety of sports-related injuries and is recommended frequently by health professionals for reducing inflammation due to arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and muscle strains.

Amino Acids L-Glutamine 1500 mg per serving L-Lysine 6000 mg per serving
Recovery would not be complete without L-Glutamine, a key amino acid for muscle health. The immune system requires glutamine in times of trauma or stress. The demand for this non-essential amino acid increases dramatically when the body is repairing damaged tissue. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, enzymes and helps collagen formation and tissue repair. Deficiency can result in lack of energy and retarded growth.

Yucca Schidegera 6000 mg per serving
Research supports its effectiveness for various types of arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism and inflammation. Yucca contains high levels of saponins (natural glucides) which are natural pain killers; a precursor to synthetic cortisone.

Glucosamine Sulfate 10,000 mg per serving MSM 10,000 mg per serving
Glucosamine is one of the most effective tissue repair nutrients and has been proven to relieve joint pain, restore connective tissue, reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing process. MSM relieves the pain of strained muscles and over extended joints and can lessen inflammation and muscle spasms. MSM also adds to the benefits of Glucosamine

Boswellia Extract (Boswellia serrata) 1250 mg per serving
Boswellia Extract may open up collateral blood circulation to provide adequate blood supply, thereby maintaining mobility and reducing pain due to stiffness. Boswellic acid possesses anti-inflammatory effects comparable to phenylbutazone (bute) and other NSAID’s.

A BIOTIN FORMULA TO PROVIDE NUTRITIONAL FACTORS FOR HOOF GROWTH AND HEALTH

Pharmaceutical Grade

Recommended Servings: 1 scoop (33 gr) once daily (60cc scoop included)

Biotin (20 mg per scoop) Biotin is a water soluble B-group vitamin and is a crucial co-factor in hoof keratination. This sulfur containing vitamin is especially important for the maintenance of hooves and significant for the health of all connective tissue structures, stimulates keratin production in the hoof, hoof wall, sole and frog with an added benefit of improvement of the horses general appearance and luster. 

Horses with poor quality hooves may benefit from supplementation at 20 mg daily, higher doses are suggested for horses receiving little or no grain. Biotin is beneficial for hooves that are shelly and brittle. 

Methionine (4000 mg per scoop), Lysine (2000 mg per scoop) Methionine and Lysine are two essential amino acids, often deficient in equine feeds and indications are poor quality hoof, skin and coat, as well as tendon and ligament problems. Delayed wound healing and low tolerance to stress and exercise are also signs of deficiency. These amino acids are key components of the protein Keratin, “the major protein in hoof horn” and are vital building blocks in the construction of the hoof. These crucial building blocks must be present to ensure full utilization of Biotin. Methionine is a sulfur containing amino acid essential for formation of strong hooves. Lysine is the first key to unlocking protein efficiency. 
Zinc (300 mg). Copper (100 mg), Manganese (200 mg per scoop) These chelated trace minerals are micronutrients essential for proper functioning of many enzyme systems and play a part in the formation of keratin and collagen which are vital for healthy hooves, hair and skin. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients will impact the efficiency of the others. Supplemental zinc and copper in the proper ratio can substantially improve the body’s ability to grow and heal hoof tissues. It is critical to maintain a 3:1 zinc: copper ratio in order to sustain optimum absorption.

Manganese and zinc are co-factors to anti-oxidant enzyme systems, known to be important for hoof health. Manganese levels in many common diets are likely to be incomplete. Copper deficiency may play a role in the development of arthritis, tendon and ligament problems, as well as hoof problems.

MSM (10,000 mg per scoop) MSM is one of nature’s best sources of dietary sulfur. Inadequate amounts will lead to poor hoof strength, tendon and ligament weakness and poor joint cartilage quality.
Kelp (8000 mg per scoop) Kelp is an excellent form of multi-vitamin and hoof supplement, containing balanced quantities of essential minerals such as iron, selenium, iodine, sulfur, copper, magnesium, zinc, as well as beta carotene, Vitamins C, D and E, B1 and B2, niacin, and up to twenty different amino acids.

Brewers’ Yeast (8533 mg per scoop) This natural pro-biotic supplement promotes gut health improving digestion and nutrient availability. Yeast is an excellent source of B vitamins complementing Biotin. Contains all of the B-complex vitamins.

Note: If you use an effective supplement like Hoofefex, you should see new hoof growth in approximately 4-6 weeks. It may take up to 9 months for your horse to grow a completely new hoof.
