Staying Power is a unique, patented supplement that uses pharmaceutical grade liquid L-Carnitine, developed with Verla-Pharm’s MAH® magnesium. The combined formula supports energy metabolism and muscle performance to help your horse work harder for longer and recover more quickly. L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino type acid that is produced in the liver. It is crucially involved in the process of energy production and is needed for both substrate delivery and cell cycling. The horse’s herbivorous diet is naturally very low in L-carnitine meaning that supplementation can benefit horses performing hard work. In addition to its role in energy production, L-carnitine has been shown to improve muscle adaptations in response to training. Two year old Standardbred horses supplemented with L-carnitine showed increased fast twitch muscle fibre concentration and capillarisation (blood supply). These responses are directly related to a horse’s ability to perform and sustain powerful work. Staying Power is suitable for any horse or pony that fatigues easily or needs to develop strength, including thoroughbred youngstock, hardworking warmbloods and good doers that run out of steam. Staying Power supports healthy muscle function, energy metabolism and circulation, and does not add calories to the diet. This makes it especially useful for horses that require a restricted diet (due to weight, allergy, ulcers, muscle myopathy etc.). Staying Power is available as a daily Liquid and as Concentrated Syringes for quick, convenient use. To support overall fitness and strength, it is necessary to supplement Staying Power daily, but it can also be fed for short term needs such as competition, travel or a period of hot weather.
