Intense exercise leads to the production of lactic acids in the muscles, resulting in a pH decrease in the muscles and muscle acidification. Muscle acidification can result in stiffness and reduced performance due to the horse being less souple.
Heavy exercise increases the daily need of nutrients, mainly to support the energy metabolism (1). The addition of Bee Pollen helps to meet these increased requirements by stimulating the horse’s appetite and absorption of nutrients (2).
The addition of Betaine has an effect on the absorption of lactate in the muscles, produced due to strenuous exercise (3). As a result, Betaine has a positive effect on muscle recovery after heavy exercise (3).
L-Carnitine is a component which can be found in the muscles and influences the oxidation of fatty acids in the mitochondria (4). Fatty acids are an important energy source for the muscles, which require more energy during exercise. In addition, physical activity also affects the Carnitine homeostasis in the horse's body (4). L-Carnitine supports the development of a healthy muscle mass, due to training, and therefore has a positive effect on the athletic performances of the horse (5).
