Benefits of Beta Alanine for Horses

CEN Beta Alanine is 100% pure amino acid that helps slow fatigue by supporting the natural ability of the muscles to cope with lactic acid build up. This is a must for the performance horses.

It helps to build condition and improve recovery in animals who are competing at speed, jumping or performing over long periods of time. Beta-alanine is the building block of carnosine, a molecule that acts to buffer acid in muscles

Key Features

• Helps the body deal with the impact of lactic acid build up
• May help with Tying Up
• Promotes Stamina
• Delays Fatigue
• Builds Condition

Feed Rate

Feed 10g per 100kg of body weight before exercise.

Loading Feed Rate – 50g daily for 30 days prior to racing or competition.

Maintenance Feed Rate – 50g Only on high performance days (training and competition)

This 50g daily is for a 500kg horse.

Stop feeding during periods of rest or out of season.

Supplementation with Beta-alanine for horses can help to; support the immune system, improve stamina levels via buffering lactic acid build-up, increase muscle health and reduce oxidative stress in horses with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER), also known as tying-up.

Stamina

Beta-alanine can help improve exercise performance and delay fatigue in horses. It increases muscle carnosine levels, which can help buffer the build-up of lactic acid and hydrogen ions during high-intensity exercise (1)(4).

Muscle Health / Tying Up

Beta-alanine supplementation has been shown to improve muscle function and reduce oxidative stress in horses with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER), also known as tying-up (2).

Immune System

Beta-alanine can also have a positive effect on the immune system by enhancing the production of nitric oxide, which can help fight infections and diseases

Conditioning

Beta-alanine supplementation has been found to improve body composition in horses by increasing lean muscle mass and reducing body fat (1).
