*‌ Platinum Performance® Equine, Platinum Performance® CJ or Platinum Performance® GI are each appropriate choices.

Why: A comprehensive blend of omega–3 fatty acids, amino acids, macro and trace minerals, vitamins and antioxidants helps protect cells, tissues, and organs from the damaging effects of free radicals formed during normal metabolic processes and exercise while promoting normal, healthy levels of inflammation. This combination also supports and maintains mineral and electrolyte balance during activity, reducing oxidative stress and promoting normal cardiovascular, muscular and neurological function. Therapeutic levels of natural vitamin E protect cell membranes against oxidative stress and support healthy cell function. Omega–3 fatty acids serve as a cool–burning fuel for horses who cannot mobilize adequate amounts of glucose from stored glycogen in order to meet their cellular energy needs during exercise. While producing less heat, the metabolism of omega–3 fatty acids also allows the body to utilize less water, keeping the equine athlete more hydrated during activity. Sparing muscle glycogen not only delays the onset of fatigue, this minimizes the amount of lactate formed during exercise and improves the cell’s ability to remove calcium thereby promoting the muscle’s ability to relax.
