How to Give:

Muscle XL can be mixed into the normal main meal or hard feed each day until desired muscle build and top-line is achieved, normally daily for 14 – 30 days. Then continue Muscle XL as required to maintain muscle bulk, usually as a top-up course for 5 – 7 days each month or after hard exercise or competition.

Extra Information:

Best results will be obtained with regular exercise, especially if Muscle XL is given within 15 minutes after exercise when the muscles are warm and ready to absorb the ‘muscle food’ provided by Muscle XL.  Muscle XL can also be mixed into a paste with an equal volume of water and supplemented over the tongue in an oral dosing syringe.

Muscle XL is particularly recommended for competition horses to boost top-line, muscle tone, fitness, strength and stamina without fizzy energy.  Muscle XL is helpful when horses are flat, lack energy or stamina in multi-day competitions, cannot handle quick turnarounds or struggle when increasing training load.  After desired muscle build and top-line is achieved, Muscle XL can be used intermittently to maintain a fit and active appearance.

Muscle XL is also highly beneficial for building good muscle on young horses, particularly yearlings or horses for sale, horses in early training or after a spell.

Muscle XL is suitable for horses of all ages and levels of training as a targeted supplement of muscle-specific ‘foods’.

Best results will be obtained with regular exercise, especially if Muscle XL is given within 15 minutes after exercise when the muscles are warm and ready to absorb the ‘muscle food’ provided by Muscle XL.  Muscle XL can also be mixed into a paste with an equal volume of water and supplemented over the tongue in an oral dosing syringe.

However, many horses lack the necessary high quality protein and particularly, essential branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), in their regular diet to maintain muscle health and top-line.  Muscle XL can be used as a normal in-feed supplement in times of drought or poor feed quality, or for older horses which struggle to maintain muscle bulk, commonly due to reduced ability to digest protein as they age.   A daily half-dose of Muscle XL can meet the increased needs for quality protein to ensure optimum health and vitality.

Horses suffering from muscle injuries requiring rest and rehabilitation may also benefit from a supplement of Muscle XL daily to reduce the risk of muscle wastage and top-line loss, although daily light hand-walking is recommended to help target the benefits of Muscle XL.

The optimum profile of branched chain amino acids, (BCAAs) preferentially absorb and target muscle replenishment and bulking processes.  These BCAAs and other essential amino acids are able to incorporate into muscle fibres, particularly after light to moderate exercise, when the muscles are warm and can uptake the muscle ‘food’ provided by Muscle XL.

Muscle XL also contains a source of glutamine for muscle energy, plus synergistic ingredients to help the amino acids be converted to muscle fibres, including MSM and vitamin E for muscle recovery processes.

However, for horses with increased needs for muscle health and under stress of intense muscle-related performance, such as endurance horses, racehorses or high performance equestrian horses, Muscle XL can be used as a long term daily supplement without ill-effects.  For these horses, Muscle XL is particularly beneficial to help ensure strength, stamina and recovery after intense training and regular racing or competition.

Muscle XL contains a special blend of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), L-glutamine, and antioxidant vitamin E as a natural, high potency form, which assists the natural repair and recovery process after muscles have been stressed from intense exercise.

Muscle XL is recommended to be used as a top-up supplement for 4-5 days before and after hard exercise or competitions to build a reserve of muscle energy and then help regenerate tired muscles.

Muscle XL is a popular supportive supplement for muscle health and function in horses which have suffered a muscle strain or injury which requires improved muscle tone and strengthening of weak muscles.

In combination with light hand walking or stretching exercises, Muscle XL can help regenerate musculature to support long term weakness or soundness issues.

Horses in hard or intense work put their muscles under increased stress to enable optimum performance during regular training, racing or equestrian competition.  For these horses, Muscle XL is an excellent daily supplement during the competition season, to ensure optimum muscle function, strength and stamina is maintained, even on premium feeds with added lysine or protein.

However, it is recommended not to give multiple high protein supplements to a horse.  Often owners add too much ‘non-essential’ or ‘common’ protein supplements to a ration, which can reduce the top-line building affect of Muscle XL.  This is because Muscle XL features a specific ratio of selected amino acids and proteins for the best results.  Thus, a diet with adequate, but not excessive protein, supplied by general feeds, hay and grass, commonly gives the quickest and most effective results with Muscle XL.
