On-Form racing Blend is a supplement design to give nutritional support  so horses in fast work  truly thrive and perform their best.

It is a highly palatable supplement that has substantial benefits for horses in fast work.

• Reduce oxidative stress

• Packed with Amino acids & vitamins

• High quality source of protein

• Essential fatty acids- including gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) for heart and joint health

The B group vitamins have a myriad of functions within the body, but are particularly important for energy generation, proper function of the nervous system, red blood cell formation and maintenance of the digestive system and skin health. Many of the B-group vitamins are intimately involved in the various energy generation pathways. Particularly they play an important role in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Co-A, which is a key stage in aerobic metabolism. Reduced or incomplete conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Co-A contributes to a build up in lactic acid in muscles, which then dissociates to form lactate and hydrogen ions (H+). The rise in H+ and associated acidosis is a significant factor in the process of fatigue. B vitamins are therefore crucial to exercise performance and it is not surprising that their supplementation is often a feature of in-training diets.

 

 

Vitamin K for its role in pulmonary support and strengthening of blood vessels Vitamin K is the last fat soluble vitamin to mention. Its primary role is in blood clotting and also bone metabolism.  Vitamin K1 is required for activation of osteocalcin needed to direct the mineralisation of bone.

Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in neutralizing harmful free radicals. Because of its water-soluble nature, vitamin C can work both inside and outside the cell to combat free-radical damage. Vitamin C also helps by regenerating vitamin E. Besides its antioxidant functions, vitamin C is needed for collagen synthesis, hormone synthesis, conversion of vitamin D3 to calcitriol, bone calcification, and antihistamine control. Vitamin C deficiency could produce poor hair coat, depressed immune system, hemorrhage, delayed wound healing, degenerated or enlarged adrenal glands, scoliosis, and lordosis.

 

Natural forms of vitamin E appear to be significantly more available than the traditional synthetic form. Aantioxidant in the body, protecting individual cells every day. It is in every cell of your horse’s body and unique in being able to cross into spinal cord, brain, liver, eyes, heart, skin, and joints. In addition to being an antioxidant, Vitamin E is a “potent anti-inflammatory when given in high levels,” according to a University of Florida study.

Your horse does not make Vitamin E. Daily outside sources of Vitamin E are required to maintain the right blood and tissue levels to help protect cells. Nerve tissue especially requires Vitamin E to function properly. Horses quickly get deficient if they engage

Vitamin D another fat-soluble vitamin but also a hormone is intimately involved in calcium and phosphorus balance. It facilitates the absorption of calcium from the gut and its re-absorption from the kidneys and bone. Vitamin D status is likely to be particularly important where bone remodelling occurs and especially during the typical period of early race training where a decrease in bone density has been observed. Vitamin D is sometimes referred to as the ‘sunshine’ vitamin, as horses can produce it naturally in the skin when exposed to the sun. This could potentially be an issue for many horses spending most of their time indoors out of the sunshine. Concentrate feeds do tend to be well fortified with vitamin D and an average intake should easily meet daily requirements, although less is known about optimum intake for performance.
