Description
This product is recommended for horses that participate in competitions and shows where strenuous exercise is part of the daily routine.
L-carnitine improves endurance and physical performance, multiplies the energy available in the muscle, accelerates the burning of fats, improves the excretion of toxic metabolites and shortens recovery. Supplementation with L-carnitine improves maximal aerobic performance and promotes glycogen sparing during prolonged, higher exertion. Supplementation with L-carnitine improves endurance capacity and increases endurance performance and resistance to premature fatigue.
It is essential for the utilisation of fatty acids and the transport of energy for metabolism.
One of the most important functions of L-carnitine is the oxidation of long-chain free fatty acids. It is a functional process that takes place within the mitochondria, the "powerhouse" of the cell. L-carnitine acts as a transporter, transporting free fatty acids to the mitochondria where they are converted into energy through beta-oxidation. Skeletal muscle cells, above all the heart muscle, depend on this mechanism as a source of metabolic energy.
In addition, L-Carnitine has other important functions:
- oxidation of intermediary fatty acids,
- oxidation of fatty acids,
- maintain a balance between bound and free A coenzymes to optimise fat burning,
- elimination of toxic concentrations of acyl coenzyme A,
- energy production, thereby increasing the load limit,
- regulating blood ammonium levels.
So L-carnitine:
- helps to release more energy during the warm-up
- recover faster after hard work
- prevent exhaustion
Horses need more L-carnitine before 3 years of age, when they are doing hard work, and on a higher fat (oils) diet.
Dosage recommendation:
2-3 times a week 10 ml orally. If possible, give a dose 4-6 hours before hard work.
The 30ml tube contains 6000mg of L-carnitine.
Storage of: in a dry, cool place at a temperature between 10-20 C, protected from light.
Contains no substances prohibited by Jockey Club and FEI rules.
Dispensing: 30ml (EH 491) paste (in oral syringe)
