FAQ

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for a wide range of bodily functions. They support the formation and repair of tissues, including muscles, tendons, and skin. In addition, they play a key role in hormone regulation, the immune system, and the production of enzymes.

Targeted amino acid supplementation can optimize a horse’s health, growth, and performance. It is especially important to ensure an adequate supply of essential amino acids.

Essential amino acids are those that a horse’s body cannot produce on its own. They must be supplied through feed or nutritional supplements.

In horses, lysine is often the first limiting amino acid, followed by threonine and methionine.

At Amino Horse, we offer products that provide a targeted and balanced blend of these essential limiting amino acids to support your horse’s optimal health and performance.

Compared to other supplements, our pure amino acids offer excellent bioavailability. This means they can be efficiently absorbed by your horse's body. They are free from allergens and added sugars, contributing to a healthy diet.

Moreover, at Amino Horse, we use only left-handed active L-amino acids - a unique feature. This significantly enhances protein utilization.

While many feed products contain high levels of fiber and other ingredients like sugar, additives, flaxseed meal, and protein isolates, we provide 100% pure amino acids as a concentrated source of these valuable nutrients.

These are more expensive to produce, particularly with the pure L-methionine we use, compared to the typical DL-methionine blend commonly used in feed production. We are proud of that.

Yes, pure amino acids are safe for your horse. Our Amino Horse products are carefully manufactured in Germany and are tested multiple times for purity, quality, and safety. Even in the case of an accidental overdose, no danger is expected; any significant excess amino acids will be converted into the energy metabolism.

For comparison: A 500 kg horse needs about 350 g of small intestine digestible protein per day, and we recommend 20 g of amino acids per day as a supplement for such a horse.

Yes, our amino acids are suitable for horses with PSSM1 (Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy Type 1) and PSSM2 (MIM).

Our specially developed amino acid blends are designed to support muscle building while addressing the individual needs of horses with muscle diseases.

Various studies show a positive effect of amino acid supplementation in PSSM.

Our essential, pure amino acids in the basic mix are ADMR-compliant (German Anti-Doping and Medication Control Rules) according to the FN, and thus allowed in competitions. Lysine, threonine, and methionine can be fed without ADMR restrictions.

Our pure amino acids are suitable for horses that suffer from allergies.

The correct dosage depends on factors such as your horse's weight, activity level, and health. We provide clear and detailed dosing instructions on our products. We recommend following the dosage to achieve optimal results. A suitable measuring scoop is included.

We recommend daily administration, preferably after a phase of exercise, to optimally support your horse. The amino acids can also be given as a four-week nutritional

regimen/cure.

Our amino acids can be easily incorporated into your horse's existing feed or combined with other feed products. We recommend administering the powder daily after training to achieve the best results.

Many of our customers have had good experiences mixing them, for example, with mash or hay cubes.
