Supplementing for Performance and Recovery
The Advantage of Fats
The ideal equine diet is forage based. However, many horses are not able to obtain adequate energy from hay alone. It is common to augment the forage diet with calorie-dense fats or grains. Feeding grains, however, must be done with caution, as excessive grain consumption has been associated with metabolic health issues. Here are four ways that a properly rationed supplement plan containing Omega-3 fatty acids can benefit working muscles in the athletic horse:
|
1. Keeping Cool. When the body metabolizes Omega-3 fatty acids it tends to run cooler because there is less heat produced than other sources and less water utilized keeping the Equine Athlete hydrated during heavy work.
2. Less Lactic Acid. Fats also allow for a reduction in exercise induced lactate production which is the body's natural response when oxygen is limited and support is needed very quickly during strenuous work. The body will use fat stores before it needs to break down glucose for additional support.
3. Muscle Support. With a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids the equine athlete has more intramuscular fat stores readily available and will use that as its first support source during exercise.
4. Encourage Recovery. When Fatty acids are present in the diet there is a reduction in the amount of glucose utilized and more muscle glycogen is spared which will delay the onset of fatigue and support muscle recovery.

Horse Health Tip
How does HMB help my horse?
HMB (ß-Hydroxy ß-Methylbutyrate Monohydrate) is an amino acid metabolite that plays a key role in muscle and immune system function which are both vitally important for the equine athlete. HMB is involved in protein synthesis and has been shown to both increase muscle mass and prevent muscle from breaking down and/or assist in muscle repair. When the body is able to protect itself from an exercise induced catabolic state it can significantly reduce recovery time in the equine athlete.

What Clients are Saying
"Nutrition is one of the most important things in training a racehorse. I'd heard about Platinum and started giving it to him and the other horses, and I liked what I saw. Platinum not only provides The Bird with the fuel he needs to finish strong, but he loves eating it-and that's a rarity with supplements."
- Bennie "Chip" Woolley, Jr., Trainer, Mine That Bird, Platinum Performance® Client since January 2008, Sponsored by Platinum Performance
"I have found Platinum Performance® to help my Percheron mare have an increase in Stamina for eventing and fox hunting and also helps with the respiratory issues that she has! I really like the energy over fences."
- Gretel Mangigian, Platinum Performance® Client since 2007

Are all fats good for my horse?
It is important that horses consume a natural ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats. Typically, however, the modern equine diet contains far fewer Omega-3s. This imbalance can affect the health of Joints, the Digestive system, Allergic reactions, the Metabolic system etc. Here are examples of fatty acid ratios in common feeds and supplements:
