Nutraceutical products are a great help to ensure the well-being of our horses as well as a natural alternative to medications without the risk of positive doping controls.
We are going to see how we can help the athlete's horse nutritionally before, during, and after the race.
JOINTS AND INFLAMMATIONS
The horse's joints, tendons, ligaments and musculature are under a lot of stress. If the demand of exercise exceeds the body's ability to adapt and regenerate, an injury may occur, which almost always begins with inflammation.
COMFORT is a new natural anti-inflammatory controls, relieves and manages the pain without side effects. Is ideal for competitions since it does not give doping.
It is important to provide nutritional supplements capable of preventing these situations and, in the case of injury, helping in the recovery process. Joint supplements reduce inflammation, increase mobility, and improve overall joint health. Chondroprotective agents are the most popular supplements in the horse world. A good chondroprotector should contain glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
ARTI EQUIFLEX PLUS is unique due to its high concentration of hyaluronic acid. With 88g/kg it achieves ideal absorption and bioavailability via the oral route, which means that the joint receives the necessary contribution to nourish and recover itself.
WATER AND ELECTROLYTES
With sweating, horses lose a significant amount of body salts. When salts are lost, especially sodium, thirst decreases, and the horse loses interest in drinking, even when it is most important for its well-being. Likewise, only drinking pure water in these cases can worsen the problem since it dilutes the concentration of salts that remain in the blood. Electrolyte deficiencies often lead to neuromuscular depression, where muscles respond slowly, or not at all, to nerve signs.
HYDRABOOST is a rehydrating syringe formulated with rapid and maximum absorption electrolytes that is easy to administer. Contains Glycine for better absorption of electrolytes.
ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE
The fuel for the muscles of an equine athlete is a combination of glycogen (the main store of carbohydrates), glucose (sugar) and fatty acids. During intense periods of work, the muscle's demands for these nutrients increase.
The source of fatty acids is Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils, which provide slowly released energy, ideal for prolonging and reducing moments of excitability associated with diets with high cereal content. By daily administering omega 3 and 6 to the horse's diet, we get more energy than with the same quantity of proteins and carbohydrates.
OMEGA OIL is a blend of natural oils rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids that provide lasting energy. It is important to gradually introduce it into the diet, starting with 2 measures/day and increasing the dose after 2 weeks according to the horse's activity.
Intense training and competitions increase the demand for oxygen in the muscles as the main source of energy. Red blood cells are the providers of oxygen to the muscles, so it is important to have a high amount of them during times of highest intensity work and competitions.
HAEMATINIC contains IRON, COPPER, ZINC, group B VITAMINS, PROTEINS and ANTIOXIDANTS. Promotes the formation of red cells, covering the needs of the muscle, combining all the necessary ingredients to achieve the best physical performance.
How do we get energy? This energy is produced by the combustion of glucose with oxygen. When all the available glucose has been used, the body must draw glycogen from its reserves. This can be quickly consumed, without the need for an oxygen supply. This combustion will form waste (lactic acid) that is not eliminated quickly and accumulates in the muscles, causing cramps, aches and fatigue in the muscles.
During the competition, we can administer a syringe of TRIAMIN PRO BURST before or during the race. This syringe provides strength for high performance by providing energy, easily and quickly usable with glucose, electrolytes, aminoacids, and vitamins in one application.
RESISTE MAX contains GLUTATIONE, M.S.M., E VITAMIN and ANTIOXIDANTS, providing maximum muscular resistance, increasing the endurance of competition horses, and avoiding cramps or tying-up. Very effective for when muscle function is compromised by great efforts.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The beneficial bacteria and yeasts found naturally in the digestive tract of the horse live in a delicate balance. Stress, food, dehydration, or other factors can affect the balance of prebiotics and probiotics, causing diarrhea or digestive disorders.
FLORYBOOST
Prebiotics to protect the intestinal flora. Quickly covers the intestinal tract in cases of diarrhea or digestive disorders. Contains a specific clay capable of covering the walls of the intestine and absorbing toxins and other aggressive agents. Plus, it contains the necessary electrolytes to compensate for the loss and restore the balance again.
It is highly recommended to administer a syringe of FLORYBOOST before competition to protect the digestive tract. For those horses whose digestive problems are often present, the recommendation would be to administer a product constantly to maintain a regulated digestive system.
GASTRIAID is the best option to provide daily protection for gastric problems. Absorbs excess acid, helps in fiber absorption, and maintains the pH. Contains antiacids, prebiotics and probiotics, which offer the maintenance and protection that the stomach needs.
RECOVERY
Upon completion, sport horses tend to suffer from general exhaustion, sore, fatigued muscles and other ailments. Recovery can be a very slow process, worsening your performance.
After such an intense exercise, a good recovery is key during the competition to go through the vet-gate without problems, continue the race in the case of raid horses, or be able to return to daily training. The question is to get a horse recovered as soon as possible after a great effort. Supplements like RECOVER can help the animal reduce recovery time much faster.
RECOVER is an innovative double-action antioxidant formula:
Antiinflammatory effect: for optimal performance.
Restorative effect: relax the muscles, avoid tying up and the accumulation of lactic acid, facilitating maintenance and athletic potential.
ICE COOL is a very effective clay formulated with Hamamelis and Arnica, with a tightening and invigorating action for the tendons, providing instant cold and reducing swelling.
