Benefits of Ingredients:
-
Amino Acids:
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are digested to small molecules called amino acids. These have many functions in the body; growth, repair, structural units of hair, skin, hooves, build muscle, boost immune system, make hormones, etc. Amino acids are classified as essential, non- essential and conditional.
-
Essential Amino Acids:
These cannot be synthesised by the body in sufficient quantities and must be supplied in the diet. These are individual "building blocks" for tissues, organs, enzymes, hormones, antibodies etc. For horses, these include Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Arginine, Methionine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Lysine.
-
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs):
The three branch chained amino acids (BCAAs) are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. These are vital for muscle development and maintenance and utilization of other amino acids to build proteins. When combined with regular exercise, they help to reduce cholesterol as well boost weight loss, regulate muscle turnover and prevent high blood sugar, as well as aid in haemoglobin production and may facilitate wound healing. Help in muscle recovery and promote growth in foals.
-
Limiting Amino Acids:
When an essential amino acid is deficient to the point of limiting protein synthesis, it is called a “limiting” amino acid. Lysine, threonine, and methionine are typically considered the first, second, and third limiting amino acids in equine diets. They are "limiting" because if they are deficient, the horse cannot make full use of the protein for hair coat, hoof growth and muscle development.
-
Lysine:
It supports muscles, connective tissues, the nervous system and the immune system. Promotes bone health, fat conversion and improves skin and coat.
-
Methionine:
