L-CARNITINE is an essential cofactor in muscle metabolism during exercise. L-CARNITINE forms the transport system which moves fatty acid molecules into the mitachondria (cell furnaces) for energy production. L-CARNITINE also acts as a physiological buffer in inhibiting buildup of lactic acid in muscles. This helps delay the onset of fatigue in muscles.

Normally animals get L-CARNITINE from their diet, or they manufacture it from other amino acids, but a heavily exercising athletic animal will usually not be able to replace the extensive loss of L-CARNITINE which occurs. Carnitine deficiency results in an inability to utilise fatty acids as an energy source, and causes skeletal muscle dysfunction and weakness, heart enlargement, heart failure and rhythm disturbances and liver dysfunction. L-CARNITINE also assists in the oxidation of pyruvate and branched chain amino acids in the energy cycle, and prevents the buildup of fatty complexes within cells which can damage muscle cell membranes.

Supplementing with L-CARNITINE has a number of beneficial effects during exercise including enhanced energy supply, increased utilisation of fatty acids, decreased buildup of lactic acid and increased maximum work output. The level of L-CARNITINE in muscles plays a major role in determining the exercise capacity of the muscles. L-CARNITINE is essential for normal heart function. L-CARNITINE is recognised as one of the more important ergogenic aids for equine and canine performance, as well as for human athletes. L-CARNITINE supplementation enhances both sprint and endurance performance. Fat is the major energy source for endurance events. Supplementation increases maximal work output and V02 max in sprint exercise.

There is evidence that L-CARNITINE levels in equine plasma increase with training. High fat diets are recommended for exercising horses as they have a very high energy content and have been shown to improve performance when their utilisation is enhanced by L-CARNITINE supplementation.
Adequate L-CARNITINE levels are critically involved in the survival of newborn foals. Supplementation of brood mares twice weekly during the last two weeks of pregnancy with 10mL L-CARNITINE will benefit the foal. Animals under stress are reported to respond positively to L-CARNITINE supplements.

Adult Horse: 10mL given three times weekly, or as directed by a veterinarian. Veterinarians have recommended using doses of 20mL to 25mL twice weekly, with the second dose given 4-6 hours before hard or fast work.

Actions: VITAMIN B12 are essential B Complex vitamins vitally involved in many critical metabolic processes related to coenzymes for tissue formation DNA synthesis complete utilisation of carbohydrates and proteins for nervous tissue maintenance and energy production and blood counts. VITAMIN B12 act in synergy in the formation of DNA and deficiencies can have serious consequences both in performance horses with a high tissue turnover rate and in pregnancy and growth of young foals. Clinically the first sign of deficiency is anaemia. Lack of VITAMIN B12 can create anaemias. As the deficiency may be indistinguishable for either of these essential vitamins they are often grouped in one product for therapeutic and preventive use. How Does It Work? Vitamin B12 is essential to the formation of FOLIC ACID. Folate is abundant in fresh green feeds but processing feed rapidly destroys it.

VITAMIN B12 is useful to stimulate appetite in horses and is essential in maintenance of adequate blood counts.

Dosage and Administration: Give 5 - 10mL by intramuscular injection regularly twice weekly or as advised by a veterinary surgeon.

VITAMIN C (Ascorbic acid) INJECTION provides Vitamin C supplementation.
VITAMIN C is essential to normal joint cartilage maintenance and repair. 
VITAMIN C acts to reduce stress and improves cardiovascular function. 

How Does It Work?

Vitamin C is an essential coenzyme in certain metabolic processes particularly in the metabolism of the amino acids Tyrosine and Phenylalanine collagen synthesis in ligaments tendons and joint cartilage synthesis of L-Carnitine red blood cell formation and modulating immune responses as well as in the maintenance of healthy skin. It is also essential in the conversion of Folic acid and in promoting the absorption of Iron from the gut. Vitamin C has a role in the metabolism of certain steroid hormones and high levels of Vitamin C are found in the Adrenal gland in times of stress.

VITAMIN C has a major role as a potent antioxidant to remove toxic free radicals produced during hard physical exercise.

VITAMIN C is critical and essential in the maintenance and repair of joints and joint cartilage synthesis of collagen proteoglycans and other joint components tooth bone skin and blood vessel maintenance and in the healing and repair of wounds burns and fractures.

Vitamin C is essential in the synthesis of L-Carnitine.

Like the B Complex vitamins Vitamin C is water soluble and is not well stored in the body. It is rapidly absorbed and equally as rapidly excreted so must be supplemented on a regular basis.

Horses are able to synthesise Vitamin C in normal circumstances but failure of liver enzyme systems can initiate a deficiency.

Key Features & Benefits:

* VITAMIN C is a major antioxidant to neutralise free radicals.
* VITAMIN C enhances tissue healing and growth.
* VITAMIN C improves immune function and acts as an antiinflammatory agent.

Dosage and Adminstration:

Give 5 - 10mL by intramuscular injection regularly twice weekly or as advised by a veterinary surgeon.

Pack size:

100mL sterile injection for intramuscular injection.

Actions:

VITAMIN B1 INJECTION provides the essential vitamin Thiamine. 

How Does It Work?

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and energy production for all cells. Thiamine is most important in the breakdown of pyruvic acid a waste product in hard working muscles along with lactic acid. In any situation where carbohydrates are the major energy source or when glucose is added to the diet thiamine requirement is increased significantly. 

Thiamine is essential as part of the coenzyme which is involved in the breakdown of glucose for energy.

Thiamine in conjunction with Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is essential in the metabolism of proteins and amino acids. Thiamine has effects on all tissues. The most sensitive are nerves stomach and heart.

Free Thiamine cannot be stored in the body and it is rapidly absorbed from the intestine or blood as well as from injection sites. Like all B Complex vitamins Thiamine is water soluble so it is rapidly absorbed and excreted from the body and requires regular supplementation especially in hard working animals when dietary input will probably not be sufficient.

Thiamine is found in both meat and cereal products. Small amounts are manufactured in the gut as long as horses are not under stress.

Thiamine in food is destroyed by cooking. Beef loses up to 75% of its Thiamine when cooked.

High doses of Thiamine are reported to help calm nervous or over excitable horses.

Clinical signs of Thiamine deficiency include fatigue muscle weakness loss of appetite and increased heart rate. (This may be an important factor in endurance horses fed high grain diets).

Many of these signs can be traced back to increased tissue levels of lactic and pyruvic acids. Nerve cells are particularly dependant on carbohydrate metabolismand normal nerve function is greatly effected by increased levels of these acids during hard work.

Indications:

None

Dosage and Adminstrations:

Give 5 - 10mL by intramuscular injection regularly twice weekly or as advised by a veterinary surgeon.

Pack Size:

100mL sterile injection for intramuscular or intravenous injection.

TRIPART is a supplement to support muscle function and recovery during training and strenuous exercise.

TRIPART is a blend of essential co-factors to ensure that muscle metabolism is optimised, and that energy supply to muscles is adequate, to reduce the risk of lactic acidosis, muscle fatigue and Tying Up. Provision of essential co-factors and nutrients at the correct time, and in the correct amounts, reduces the risk of muscle damage and decreased performance.

How Does It Work?

ATP is the essential chemical for muscle contraction, releasing energy when it is broken down to ADP. The aspartates improve endurance by decreasing blood lactate and ammonia, thus delaying fatigue.

Vitamin B3 is essential in increasing the use of glycogen for energy, and arginine acts as a vehicle for transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen.

Lysine is very important in muscle repair. Selenium is an essential element of the enzyme which helps remove the free radicals produced during severe exercise. Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell turnover.

Key Features & Benefits:

• TRIPART paste supplements ATP to improve available energy supply to muscles.
• TRIPART assists muscle repair and recovery after exercise.
• TRIPART reduces the risk of tying up or cramping.
• TRIPART optimises energy supply to hard working muscles.
• TRIPART is useful to prevent fatigue and stress when travelling horses or dogs long distances.
