Increased oxidative stress during exercise results in the production of free radicals, which leads to muscle damage, fatigue, and impaired performance in equine athletes around the world. Given the role of antioxidants in protection against free radicals, it is common practice to feed antioxidant supplements to combat muscle damage and to enhance performance.

The collection of antioxidant products includes research-proven products such as Nano-E, the most bioavailable vitamin E supplement on the market, and Nano-Q10, a highly bioavailable form of coenzyme Q10.

Race Recovery™ is an innovative electrolyte supplement designed specifically for horses given furosemide. Use of furosemide causes prolonged electrolyte loss and imbalance through increased urination and does not stimulate thirst. These losses are different to losses in sweat. When coupled with the electrolyte losses that occur naturally with sweating, total electrolyte depletion can be significant following intense exercise.

Race Recovery reduces the downtime between bouts of intense exercise by replacing key electrolytes, ensuring Mikayla Juett's horses are performing at their best.
