Equine and Canine Nutritional Supplements Explained - Creatine Max



I am all for giving horses and dogs the best supplements possible because we know their food is not always the highest quality. Even though we may pay a higher price thinking we are getting quality dog food there has been more concern lately about the origin of the ingredients. And because the fields we get our hay from may not have the nutrients that is required. I only recommend the very best grade supplement, tested and proven pharmaceutical grade Creatine Max.

This supplement supports the phosphocreatine levels because once they are depleted the muscles ability to contract at 100% efficiency is no longer available. Low phosphocreatine level also can effect the energy production levels. When sufficient levels of phosphocreatine are available to the muscles your horse will be able to work for longer periods of time with depletion.

It also beneficial for the regeneration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that is stored in the cells of muscles and used as an energy source for the contraction of the cells. Creatine phosphate regenerates ATP by donating one of its phosphate molecules to an ADP molecule. In many equine disciplines having strength and sustainability    increased by 5 - 10 second can make a huge difference in the end result of the race or event. Muscles have about 4 - 5 second of ATP available for maximum contraction and with creatine phosphate you can expect an additional 4 - 5 seconds of muscle strength through contractions.

Creatine aids in recovery too because it delays the burning of glucose, glycogen and finally fatty acids as the fuel source of the muscle. Glucose is added to this formula to accelerate absorption and preserving valuable protein stores while the addition of carbohydrates ensures creatine is delivery to the muscle cells.

If you are involved as a dressage rider, a jumper, cross country rider or barrel racer and expect a high level of performance from your horse please look further into how Creatine Max can support your horse and give you a competitive edge for your event.
