protect greyhounds from muscle damage

Maintains Healthy Muscles


Muscle damage occurs as a direct result of any strenuous exercise.

Ranvet's Muscle-G has been formulated to help protect performance greyhounds from muscle damage which can lead to soreness, stiffness, fatigue and in severe cases of tying-up. Peak athletic performance requires strong, healthy muscles and Muscle-G provides a blend of organic Selenium, Vitamin E, organic Chromium, Thiamine and Choline to ensure optimum muscle health and nutrition.

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 Selenium and Vitamin E. This damage is seen as muscle soreness and stiffness and loss of muscle strength and stamina.

The two powerful anti-oxidants Selenium and Vitamin E are the key ingredients in Ranvet Muscle-G.

Selenium and Vitamin E are the two major anti-oxidants which neutralize toxic free radicals. They work together to quickly neutralize these toxic by-products produced during the oxidation process. Selenium exerts its effect inside the muscle cells, while Vitamin E protects the cell membranes. Performance greyhounds 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 Selenium and Vitamin E are not usually provided by feed alone, so supplementation is required. Ranvet Muscle-G provides a very high level of Vitamin E ( 2000 iu per 30g dose) together with an organic form of readily bioavailable Selenium for muscle protection and recovery after exercise. As well as protecting muscle cells, the Selenium and Vitamin E in Muscle-G 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. 

Muscle-G provides organic Chromium for muscle strength and endurance.

Muscle-G contains the trace mineral Chromium in an organic, readily bioavailable form. Chromium enhances the effect of the hormone insulin, increasing the uptake of glucose and amino acids into muscle cells. This improves the nutritional supply to the muscle promoting lean muscle development. During fast exercise, Chromium supplementation also slows the build-up of blood lactic acid, one of the major contributors to muscle fatigue. Thiamine and Choline are included in the formulation to enhance energy production and liver function. Thiamine ( Vitamin 81) 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 greyhounds. Muscle-G provides supplementary Thiamine for hard working greyhounds together with Choline for optimum liver function.

With Muscle-G you can free-up working muscles with a single supplement.

Ranvet Muscle-G is a complete package of the nutrients involved in muscle function. It is the ideal supplement for greyhounds which suffer from muscle disorders. Muscle-G is suitable for all performance greyhounds 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-G should be administered DAILY to working, breeding and growing greyhounds. The prescribed dose should be mixed -- thoroughly through the feed. Avoid mixing Muscle-G into feeds containing Iron supplements as this may reduce the potency of the vitamins in the formulation.
