MUSCLE + – Vit E, selenium, lysine and spirulina – Horse muscle support and recovery

Complete formula for horse muscles based on vitamin E and selenium with antioxidant properties, L-lysine, an amino acid promoting muscle development and recovery, vitamin B12 and invigorating spirulina. Recommended for working horses, particularly in cases of muscular tension, in convalescent horses when returning to work or in cases of muscular disorders. Bucket 500g Muscle +, a complete formula based on antioxidants, amino acids and spirulina intended for the support and muscular recovery of horses at work or in convalescence. The Muscle + formula combines the toning benefits of spirulina with vitamins, trace elements and amino acids contributing to optimal functioning of the horse's muscles. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an essential vitamin with powerful antioxidant properties that protects muscle cells from oxidative stress induced by exercise and supports the proper functioning of the immune system. Selenium: selenium in horses plays a major antioxidant role, in close connection with Vitamin E. Selenium conditions the activity of antioxidant enzymes and participates in the regeneration of vitamin E. A selenium deficiency in horses can lead to greater fatigue during exercise, impaired recovery and muscle tension. L-lysine: L-lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce it and must obtain it from food. It is present in significant quantities in muscles and has numerous biological functions. It contributes, among other things, to the development of the horse's muscles and the repair of muscle micro-lesions induced by exercise, as well as the growth of bones and the formation of collagen. Vitamin B12: this B group vitamin is considered by some to be the exercise vitamin. It is in fact involved in numerous processes such as the synthesis of red blood cells participating in the transport of oxygen. Why give selenium to your horse? Selenium for horses is an essential trace element acting as a major antioxidant. In synergy with vitamin E, it helps protect muscle cells against oxidative stress generated during exercise. Protection: Supports the horse's muscles in the event of stiffness or bleeding (myositis). Performance: Promotes optimal muscle contraction. Recovery: Contributes to the protection of muscle cells after exercise. The importance of the Selenium – Vitamin E – Lysine synergy Our Muscle + formula does not just provide selenium. It combines: Selenium & Vitamin E: The benchmark antioxidant duo. L-lysine: An essential amino acid that the horse cannot synthesize, essential for the production of muscle fiber. What are the signs of selenium deficiency in horses? A selenium deficiency can have visible consequences on the health and performance of your mount. The most common signs include: Muscle stiffness: A horse who seems “frozen” or has difficulty engaging his limbs after exercise. Decreased performance: Unexplained fatigue or much slower recovery than usual. Weak immune system: Increased susceptibility to infections. Myopathy (Blood attack): In the most serious cases, a deficiency can promote episodes of myositis. If you observe these symptoms, a targeted treatment of selenium and vitamin E is often recommended to support muscle metabolism. When to give your horse a Vitamin E and Selenium treatment? It is particularly beneficial to provide a selenium supplement to your horse in the following situations: Competition season: To protect muscles subjected to repeated and intense efforts. Return to work: With L-lysine, to support optimal development of muscle mass at work. Deficient geographical areas: If your hay comes from soils poor in selenium (common in many French regions). Prevention of oxidative stress: In athletic horses, to support the neutralization of free radicals produced during exercise, or horses prone to muscular disorders. The use of Muscle + is ideal as a treatment of at least 3 weeks, ideally throughout the competition season depending on the intensity of the training and the training needs.
