CEN Beta Alanine is a concentrated equine performance supplement designed to provide additional beta-alanine, an amino acid used by the body in the production of carnosine within skeletal muscle.

Carnosine plays an important role in muscle function and acts as an intracellular buffer during high-intensity exercise. For horses undertaking demanding training and competition, nutritional strategies that support normal muscle function and exercise capacity can be an important part of an overall performance program.

CEN Beta Alanine is particularly suited to performance and competition horses undertaking intense exercise where muscular workload and fatigue management are important considerations.

The concentrated powder is easy to add to the horse's normal daily feed and can be incorporated into a carefully balanced performance feeding program.

What is Beta-Alanine?

Beta-alanine is an amino acid that combines with histidine within the body to form carnosine.

Carnosine is naturally found in skeletal muscle and has several physiological roles, including helping buffer hydrogen ions produced during intense muscular activity.

This buffering function is one reason beta-alanine and carnosine are of particular interest in performance nutrition.

Unlike many amino acids, beta-alanine isn't primarily used for building proteins. Its major nutritional significance in this context is its role as a precursor to carnosine.

Carnosine & Muscle Function

During strenuous exercise, working muscles experience significant metabolic demands.

Carnosine is naturally concentrated within skeletal muscle and contributes to the muscle's normal intracellular buffering capacity.

Beta-alanine availability can influence the synthesis of carnosine, making beta-alanine supplementation an option in nutritional programs designed for horses undertaking high-intensity training and competition.

Ideal for Performance Horses

CEN Beta Alanine may be particularly suited to horses involved in demanding disciplines such as:

• Racing
• Eventing
• Show jumping
• Dressage
• Campdrafting
• Barrel racing
• Polocrosse
• Polo
• Endurance and conditioning programs
• High-intensity training
• Regular competition

The benefit of any performance supplement will depend on the horse's overall diet, fitness, training program, workload and individual requirements.

Supporting Athletic Horses

Performance horses require more than additional energy alone.

A complete performance feeding program should provide appropriate amounts of:

• Energy
• Quality protein
• Essential amino acids
• Electrolytes
• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Fibre
• Adequate hydration

CEN Beta Alanine can be incorporated into this broader nutritional program to provide targeted beta-alanine supplementation.

It should not replace a complete and balanced equine diet.

Feeding Directions

Feed CEN Beta Alanine according to the directions printed on the current product label.

Mix the recommended amount thoroughly through the horse's normal feed.

For best results, follow CEN's recommended loading and/or maintenance feeding program where specified on the packaging.

The appropriate amount can depend on the horse's:

• Bodyweight
• Workload
• Training intensity
• Competition schedule
• Existing diet
• Other supplements being fed

Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended daily feeding rate.

Competition Horses

Owners of competition horses should always check the rules applying to their particular equestrian or racing organisation before introducing any new supplement.

Competition rules and prohibited-substance requirements can vary between disciplines and organisations.

Keep accurate records of all feeds, supplements and medications provided to competition horses.

Important Feeding Information

CEN Beta Alanine is a nutritional supplement for horses and should be incorporated into an appropriately balanced feeding program.

Introduce dietary changes gradually.

Always provide your horse with:

• Plenty of quality forage
• A nutritionally balanced diet
• Unlimited access to clean, fresh water
• Appropriate electrolytes where required
• A training program suited to the horse's fitness and condition

For horses with medical conditions, horses receiving veterinary treatment or horses with unusual exercise intolerance or muscle problems, seek veterinary advice before changing the feeding or supplementation program.

Storage

Store CEN Beta Alanine in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Keep the container securely closed after use and protect the product from contamination.

Why Choose CEN Beta Alanine?

CEN Beta Alanine provides a targeted nutritional option for owners and trainers looking to add beta-alanine to the diet of a performance horse.

Because beta-alanine is a precursor to muscle carnosine, it is particularly relevant to nutritional programs focused on normal muscle function and high-intensity exercise.

Combined with appropriate feeding, conditioning, hydration and recovery management, CEN Beta Alanine can form part of a comprehensive performance nutrition program for athletic horses.
