Equine America Equine America - More Muscle Pellets - 3kg

More Muscle Pellets promotes muscle growth and development.

Horses need muscles to support and move the skeleton through the use of joints, tendons, and ligaments. Additionally, working horses will use these muscles to support the rider and perform athletic tasks required of them.

Muscles are primarily made from the building blocks of proteins called amino acids. There are amino acids that the horse can produce for itself and others, called essential amino acids, which it must receive from its diet. There are 9 essential amino acids, and research has indicated that there are at least two that are particularly important for muscle development - lysine and leucine.

• Scientifically formulated to support muscle development during periods of intense training when muscle turnover is increased, during rehabilitation, preparation for sale, or in underdeveloped horses of any age.
• Contains key amino acids, including lysine and leucine from high-quality protein sources, including whey, spirulina, flax seeds, and soy.
• Contains important antioxidants, including vitamin E and selenium, as well as extracts of rosemary and raisins, to support muscle function and health.
• Contains rice bran to provide extra oil-based calories to promote fitness.
• Contains probiotics to support intestinal health and food utilization.
• Equine America is accredited by BETA NOPS and UFAS, making More Muscle suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations by reducing the risk of our products containing banned substances.

To build muscle, it's not just about feeding more non-specific dietary proteins:

• The first requirement to build more muscle is to exercise and train properly - horses without work or on stall rest cannot develop muscles - they may gain condition if provided with extra energy and protein - but they won't build muscle unless they exercise and work those muscles.
• The second requirement for muscles to develop during work is the presence of an adequate supply of proteins, and specifically, certain key components or amino acids, and research has indicated that two of the most important or limiting amino acids are lysine and leucine.
• The third requirement is that to supplement the necessary exercise and training, the horse must receive enough energy in its diet to undertake this work.
