Muscle damage occurs as a direct
result of any strenuous exercise.
During exercise muscle cells burn nutrients from food,
together with oxygen, to fuel muscle contraction in a process known as oxidation. During oxidation, toxic by-products called
free radicals are produced.
These substances can damage
muscle cell walls and interfere with cell energy production if they are
not quickly neutralized and destroyed by anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E. This damage is seen as muscle soreness and stiffness and
loss of muscle strength and stamina.
Performance horses require greater amounts of anti-oxidant
nutrients in order to combat the very high level of toxic free radicals
produced during intense exercise. Adequate quantities of
Vitamin E are not usually provided by feed alone, so supplementation is
required. Ranvet Muscle-E provides a very high level of Vitamin E ( 2000 iu
per 30g dose) for muscle protection and recovery after exercise. As well as
protecting muscle cells, the Vitamin E in Muscle-E also
protect other body cells including those in the immune system, the
reproductive tract and the blood, helping to maintain immunity,
fertility and optimum blood counts. Vitamin E has also been reported to
assist in the control of anhidrosis or non-sweating disease when given
daily at doses of 1000 to 5000 iu.
Thiamine and Choline are included in the formulation to
enhance energy production and liver function. Thiamine ( Vitamin B1) is
essential for muscle energy production as it plays an important role in
the metabolism of carbohydrates from feed into "fuel" for
working muscles. Thiamine cannot be stored in the body, so a regular
dietary intake is essential for all performance horses. Muscle-E
provides supplementary Thiamine for hard working horses together with
Choline for optimum liver function.
With Muscle-E you can free-up working muscles with a single
supplement.
Ranvet Muscle-E is a complete package of the nutrients involved in
muscle function. It is the ideal supplement for horses which suffer from
muscle disorders. Muscle-E is suitable for all performance horses to
help maintain optimum muscle health and to prevent muscle damage and the
associated stiffness, soreness, fatigue, lack of stamina and
"tying-up".
Directions for use: Muscle-E
should be administered DAILY to working, breeding and growing horses.
The prescribed dose should be mixed -- thoroughly through the feed. If
the horse is inclined to sift out powdered supplements, combine the dose
with a very small amount of damp bran. Avoid mixing Muscle-E into feeds
containing Iron supplements as this may reduce the potency of the
vitamins in the formulation.
