HEALTHY HEART, STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM The heart is one of the body’s most important organs. A horse needs vitamin E to maintain a healthy heart. Vitamin E protects the heart and all other cells from what is known as oxidative stress. Vitamin E could therefore be called „the muscle vitamin”. Sport and performance horses need a sufficient supply of vitamin E, as this vitamin is important for the horse's health and willingness to perform. Vitamin E can improve the oxygen supply to the muscles and thereby increases performance. Lethargy or a drop in performance can also indicate a selenium deficiency. The signs of a vitamin E and selenium deficiency are varied: young animals may experience developmental disorders and weak muscles that can decrease fertility in brood-
mares and frequently result in infections and a weakened immune system. In such cases you should give your horse E-Plus or E-Power Liquid. LYSINE, AN ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID Another essential amino acid is lysine. Lysine plays an important role in growth, performance, and muscle development. It is especially important for foals, young horses, and horses in hard work. Amino Plus contains an effective combination of lysine, L-tryptophan, and methionine that supports equine development and helps to prevent essential amino acid deficiencies. AN IMPORTANT ALL-ROUNDER Among trace elements, manganese is an important all-rounder. Manganese plays an important role in the rearing of foals and young horses. In young horses, a manganese deficiency can cause growth disturbances, particularly in the limbs. But adult and senior horses also need manganese to maintain healthy cartilage. Manganese can also have positive effects on performance and energy balance. A deficiency can lead to problems with cartilage metabolism and in acute cases even lameness. Mangan Plus can help to correct a manganese deficiency. It can support the cartilage metabolism and thus promote the health of the joints . www.stiefel.store

STRONG MUSCLES AND LESS STRESS A horse's body is equipped with many muscles. For these to work as they should, a horse needs magnesium. Muscles require magnesium for movement - whether it's for high-performance sport or a leisurely hack. In summer, when horses sweat heavily, their magnesium requirements increase because magnesium is lost in sweat. Muscle cramps and tremors are common signs of a magnesium deficiency. But psychological changes such excitability or chronic nervousness also suggest a magnesium deficiency, often in combination with a deficiency of the amino acid L-tryptophan. Mag Plus Liquid contains a combination of magnesium and L-tryptophan.
