Gamma Oryzanol is a mixture of ferulic acid esters of sterol and triterpene alcohols (1). Gamma Oryzanol has several functions in the body such as reducing cholesterol levels and inhibition of platelet aggregation. In addition, Gamma Oryzanol also has an antioxidant function in the body (2).
Scientific research shows that addition of Gamma Oryzanol to the diet, of the athletic horse, can prevent muscle damage and supports the muscles during intensive 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).
