Tye Gard helps support healthy muscle function.
Performance horses can all experience muscle discomfort - intense training programmes, travelling, competition and racing require extreme effort from the horse’s muscles. In addition, certain genetic conditions, dietary imbalances or management factors such as irregular exercise regimes can result in muscle disorders, sometimes unrelated to extreme exercise.
Targeted nutritional support can help support muscle health and recovery, including the provision of elevated levels of key antioxidants to support muscle cell membrane integrity, including not only Vitamin E, Selenium and Copper, but also plant based ingredients, with high potency antioxidant properties.
All ingredients are selected to ensure they are fully compliant with the Rules of Racing and the FEI guidelines for Clean Sport.
Key Ingredients:
Vitamin E and Selenium – two key antioxidant micronutrients, to mop up free radicals produced during exercise, to help reduce oxidative damage to muscle cells.
Melon Pulp Concentrate - is naturally high in a key antioxidant enzyme, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
Beetroot - also contains high levels of betalain pigments, high in antioxidant activity.
Bio-available ChelatedCopper - also plays a role in the production of key antioxidant enzymes, helping to support muscle health.
Calcium Gluconate -recent research has confirmed the importance of calcium transport across muscle cell membranes for optimal muscle function.
Glycine – an important amino acid in the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant to help support muscles.
