Arginine

Arginine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, but it works with essential amino acids (EAA) to support cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, gastrointestinal and neurological health.

Arginine supplementation benefits faster cell regeneration/recovery, strengthens immunity, fights infection, and has helped with insulin sensitivity or equine metabolic syndrome (EMS).

Branched Chain Amino Acids

BCAA's are three of the 13 essential amino acids  which, horses cannot produce on their own, and therefore must be supplemented through their diet. BCAA's consist of Isoleucine, Leucine, Valine and supplemented together show optimal results. BCAA's are necessary for whole body functions like glucose transportation, metabolism, immunity and growth.

Glutamine

Glutamine is another conditionally essential amino acid, depleted through exercise or via sweat secretions. Glutamine promotes healthy gut function, faster recovery, and a strong immune system.

When a horse needs more glutamine, you may notice gut issues, signs of ulcers or that they don't seem to absorb nutrients as well as they should. Since absorbing dietary nutrients is dependent  on a healthy functioning gut, you can see how glutamine supplementation can benefit our horses.

Glycine

Required to make creatine in muscle synthesis, also necessary during periods of growth. When you feed glycine, you are feeding the muscles in your horse. Since horse's bodies are made up of about 40-50% muscle, its important to feed them accordingly.

Lysine

If you're here, researching supplements, then you have heard about Lysine. So I don't need to tell you that lysine is one of the most commonly deficient amino acids in the horse's diet. Lysine is an essential amino acid (EAA) with the important task of maintaining healthy skin, and joints; it feeds collagen bonds in the body. There are many articles on Lysine, but being that it's classified as an EAA, it needs other amino acids to help the equine body reap it's benefits.

Ornithine

Ornithine is an underrated conditionally essential amino acid. Ornithine supports anabolic hormone production, which supplies growth to muscles. Horses under work, or during times of stress, lose Ornithine through sweat secretions.

Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine is associated with the production of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. This component affects the brain, heart rate, blood pressure, fat metabolism, and blood sugar.

Histidine

Histidine is metabolised into the neurotransmitter histamine and is associated with the contraction and expansion of blood vessels and other smooth muscle functions.

Methionine

Methionine is important for maintaining healthy hooves, tendons and ligaments, and supporting coat quality. Growing horses and heavily exercised horses have a high demand for methionine and benefit from supplementation.

Tryptophan

Tryptophan is the amino acid precursor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter implicated in sedation, inhibition of aggression, fear and stress.

Threonine 

Threonine may improve nutrient absorption leading to improved overall health and stamina.

Bamboo Extract

Bamboo Extract provides a high concentration of bioavailable silica, or silicon, to the horse's diet. Supplementation has shown to be effective in the prevention of injury. Bone development and regeneration is also an added benefit of silicon supplementation. It has been reported that silicon plays an important role in increasing bone building activity, and decreasing bone demineralization.

Boswellia Serrata

Boswellia Serrata, or you may have heard it called Frankincense, is growing in popularity in joint formulas. For good reason! Boswellia Serrata is safe, drug free (FEI/show compliant) and in most cases, results are seen in as little as 4 weeks!

Proline

Proline, classified widely as an amino acid, is actually an imino acid. Proline promotes the production of collagen.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which strengthen bones, and works well in combination with Vitamin K2.
