Product Information
Full details
Equine America Tye-Gard is an advanced nutritional supplement designed for performance horses engaged in high-intensity training and competition, providing essential nutrients like Vitamin E, Selenium, and antioxidants to support muscle health and recovery. It is an ideal choice for owners looking to minimize muscle stiffness and lactic acid buildup; however, users should ensure the dosage is strictly managed according to the horse's workload to avoid over-supplementation of trace minerals.

FAQs
Is Tye-Gard suitable for pleasure horses?
Tye-Gard is formulated specifically for horses in high-intensity training; it is generally unnecessary for horses on light exercise or retirement.
Can I feed this alongside other vitamin supplements?
You must check the labels of all supplements to ensure you are not exceeding the recommended daily limits for Selenium.
How long does one 5-litre bottle last?
Duration depends on the daily dosage rate per horse, which should be determined by the intensity of the training program.
Does it contain artificial additives?
No, Tye-Gard is manufactured without the use of artificial colorings.
Should I use it on rest days?
Many trainers continue supplementation on rest days at a maintenance level to support ongoing muscle tissue repair, but consult with a vet for your specific horse's needs.
Troubleshooting
Horse is reluctant to eat the supplement
Mix the supplement thoroughly with a small amount of damp chaff or a palatable beet pulp base to mask the texture.
Signs of supplement settling in the bottle
Shake the 5-litre container vigorously before each use to ensure the active ingredients are evenly suspended in the liquid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate Tye-Gard into your equine care routine, mix the recommended dosage into the horse's daily concentrate feed. Ensure the supplement is distributed evenly to prevent selective feeding.
- Compatibility: Tye-Gard is generally compatible with standard performance diets, but always review the total intake of Selenium in your horse's overall diet to prevent toxic levels, as Selenium should not be over-supplemented.
- Storage: Store the 5-litre container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the potency of the antioxidants. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after every use to prevent oxidation and moisture contamination.
