Equitop® Myoplast®

Build lean muscle for performance

Equitop® Myoplast® is a unique, high-quality amino acid supplement designed to support lean muscle growth, helping horses to respond to and cope with the demands of training.

Horses can produce some amino acids themselves, but several others—the “essential amino acids”—must be supplied within their diet. Equitop® Myoplast® provides 18 amino acids, including "nine essential amino acids." Presented in a coated pearl granule that horses love, Equitop® Myoplast® is suitable for all horses.

When to use Equitop® Myoplast®

Horses in many situations could benefit from supplementation with an assured high-quality protein source that helps build lean muscle. That’s exactly what Equitop® Myoplast® provides.

Equitop® Myoplast® can benefit many types of horses

Equitop® Myoplast® enhances muscle growth in horses that are:

  • In a period of intensive training and competition and need to build shoulder and hindquarter muscle.
  • In training at the beginning of the season and need to rebuild core muscle groups.
  • Returning to work after a period of rest and need to recuperate lost muscle.
  • Young and entering training and need to build lean muscle quickly.
  • Older and struggling to maintain condition and need more protein to maintain and rebuild lean muscle.
  • Pregnant or lactating broodmares with an increased need for protein to maintain body condition and feed the foal.
  • In rehabilitation and need help to maintain or regain muscle condition, but do not need increased calories.

Discover the powerful active ingredients in Equitop® Gonex®.

Equitop® Gonex® contains a powerful combination of active ingredients—including glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate and hyaluronic acid—derived from green-lipped mussel extract (GLME). These “superfood” extracts provide a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acids and a special glycogen complex—crucial nutrients for tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.

Equitop® Gonex® is like five joint supplements in one!

Glycosaminoglycans

Glucosamine

Chondroitin sulphate

Hyaluronic acid
A high concentration of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids
A special glycogen complex

These key ingredients of Equitop® Gonex® lubricate joints and support normal joint function and recovery, and enhance the stability and elasticity of ligaments and the shock-absorbing properties of cartilage.

Equitop® Gonex® is free from prohibited substances, so you can enter your horse into shows with confidence.

Equitop Pronutrin logo

Equitop® Pronutrin®

Supports your horse’s stomach

The stomach is normally protected by mechanisms that maintain a fine balance to counteract the corrosive effects of the gastric acid needed to break down food.

This sensitive stomach balance may be disturbed by physical or psychological stress, but certain feeding or training regimens or even some medications may be the cause. When the balance is interrupted, horses can develop stomach problems, gastric upset—and gastric ulcers.

How Equitop® Pronutrin® can help

Equitop® Pronutrin® is a unique combination of pectin fibres, lecithin, and glycerol, which work to reinforce the lining of the stomach wall. Presented in a coated pearl granule, Equitop® Pronutrin® is an excellent choice to support and enhance gastrointestinal care and help prevent stomach ulcers.

When to use Equitop® Pronutrin®

Since horses are such sensitive animals, many horses in all kinds of situations could benefit from Equitop® Pronutrin® supplements. Equitop® Pronutrin® strengthens the stomachs of horses that are:

  • At risk of developing stomach ulcers due to stress, feeding regimen, medication, or any other risk.
  • On treatment for stomach ulcers and could benefit from additional support.
  • Prone to ulcers or have a history of gastric ulcers and need a stronger stomach to help prevent recurrence.
  • Experiencing stomach upset or on treatment for diarrhea.
  • Going through stressful events such as:
    • A change of feed types or training schedules.
    • Being weaned.
    • Travelling or trailering.
If any of these situations sound like your horse, tell your veterinarian you want to start Equitop® Pronutrin®.

Here are three topics to discuss:
