the high workload of a modern horse athlete imposes physical, mental and physiological stress. in order to combat that stress, all metabolic processes have to work at their maximum capacity. this requires fuel in form of proper nutrition. basic diet consisting of hay, grain and pelleted feeds is often lacking various nutrients such as vitamins and trace minerals. during storage, vitamins in hay are undergoing oxidizing processes and degradation.

BC2a™
engineered to help your horse train at maximum capacity.
in order to build, repair and ensure optimal health of muscles, adequate levels of essential amino acids must be included with the diet. specifically, branched chain amino acids are required for efficient function of muscle cells, and for muscle growth and repair. they circulate in the blood stream in specific ratios and are required by muscle tissue during periods of strenuous exercise and stress.

the physiology of the horse’s stomach has evolved to be attuned with natural lifestyle; grazing up to 17 hours a day results in constant gastric acid production. a fine balance in the horse’s stomach ph is achieved by the production of alkaline saliva while chewing to counter the acid produced by the stomach.

JointwithSynovitisHealthyJoint
horse athletes experience strenuous daily training. the intensity and specificity of certain movements such as fence jumping or sliding stops put extensive strain on joint structures. Over time this can trigger inflammation, called synovitis. a destructive cascade begins, and inflammatory molecules such as cytokines, degrading enzymes and free radicals cause changes in properties of joint fluid and damage to cartilage. if left untreated, such changes will progress to irreversible osteoarthritis.
Bio-iSo-g PluS all the benefits of Bio-iso-g plus the benefits of Devil’s Claw and yucca.bio-iso-g Plus contains active isolates of glucosamine, chondroitin and msm with added devil’s claw and yucca extracts, known for their anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenger activity.
