Product Information

Full details

Equine Products L-Carnitine is designed for performance horses requiring enhanced metabolic support and increased energy endurance during high-intensity training or competition. It serves as a vital co-factor for muscle metabolism, effectively shuttling fatty acids into mitochondria to produce sustained energy while delaying the onset of muscle fatigue through lactic acid buffering. While it is highly effective for improving peak work output, users must carefully adjust daily dosages based on the specific intensity level of the horse's workload to ensure optimal results.

FAQs

What is the primary role of L-Carnitine in horses?

L-Carnitine acts as a carrier to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production and helps buffer lactic acid buildup in muscles.

How much L-Carnitine is in a 30g serving?

Each 30g serving contains 5,000mg of L-Carnitine.

When should I start the loading dose for a race?

The recommended loading protocol for racing is to start the 45g twice daily dosage four days prior to the competition.

Can I feed this to a horse that is only in light work?

Yes, for maintenance or light work, the dosage is 15g twice daily.

Does this product contain forbidden substances?

Always verify with your specific racing authority or competition regulatory body before using any supplement to ensure compliance with current rules.

Should this be fed once or twice a day?

The feeding instructions specify that the total daily amount should be divided and fed twice daily.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not consuming the supplement in feed.

Try dampening the feed slightly or mixing the supplement with a small amount of palatable mash or molasses to ensure the full dose is ingested.

Unsure about the correct dosage for a specific competition.

Consult the provided feeding instructions for 'Endurance' or 'Racing' categories based on your horse's specific training volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Supports sustained energy through improved fat metabolism
Effective at reducing muscle fatigue during intense efforts
Easy-to-follow dosage guidelines for different activity levels
High-concentration formula with 5,000mg per 30g serving

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure efficacy, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When administering, ensure the supplement is thoroughly mixed into the horse's feed to encourage complete consumption of the daily dose. This supplement is designed to be compatible with standard performance diets, but it should be treated as a targeted metabolic aid. Always ensure the horse has access to fresh water, as metabolic optimization requires proper hydration. Monitor your horse's physical response and adjust the feeding schedule according to the workload intensity defined in the dosage chart.
