Boost Instant

As a veterinarian specializing 👩‍⚕️ in equine nutrition🐴, I recommend Boost instant to combat muscle fatigue in sport horses. I therefore recommend administering Boost immediately after a short, intense effort, in preparation for a new effort, whether it’s after a first show jumping course when you do two in a day, after the first leg of an endurance race or during the first break of a trail ride.

Do you know the enemy of effort resistance and muscle recovery? We’re talking about lactate, produced by cells during energy production in anaerobic mode, a rapid pathway activated during short, intense effort. The accumulation of lactate leads to what is known as muscle fatigue. To mitigate its effects, we can neutralize lactate with sodium citrate or stimulate aerobic energy production pathways.

Carnitine plays a key role in directing glucose utilization towards the Krebs cycle, a cellular energy production pathway without lactate production. It also helps deliver fatty acids to the mitochondria, which convert them into energy, particularly for muscle cells, thus promoting resistance to effort over medium to long durations.

Boost also encourages the horse to drink, so he should always have access to clean water at room temperature.

⚠️ Feed supplements are not medicines and cannot be considered as such. They are supplementary aids and cannot replace medication. If in doubt, ask your vet for advice 👩‍⚕️.
