Kelato LoosenUP

LoosenUP is a high-quality antioxidant supplement containing a blend of vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, magnesium and chromium to support horses during times of illness, stress, recovery from injury and strenuous exercise.

How does LoosenUP work?

Free radicals are harmful by-products of oxidation, which is a normal metabolic process that speeds up during exercise. Free radicals can cause irreparable damage to cells and must be removed in order for your horse to maintain peak performance and recovery post-exercise.

LoosenUP provides a blend of antioxidants that aid in eliminating free radicals, protecting the muscle cells from their deleterious effects and minimising subsequent stiffness and soreness.

Antioxidants – Vitamin E, Vitamin C & Selenium

• The main function of vitamin E, vitamin C and selenium is to protect cell membranes from irreversible damage caused by free radicals during oxidation (e.g. exercise).
• Because of its water-soluble nature, vitamin C can work both inside and outside the cell to combat free radical damage.
• Vitamin C also helps by regenerating vitamin E.
• Selenium works in conjunction with Vitamin E to maintain the cell-protecting action of Vitamin E by detoxifying peroxides.
• Antioxidants also boost the immune system by protecting the immune cells from free radical damage.

Magnesium 

An essential mineral required for energy production, normal muscle and nerve function. Also relaxes nerve impulses and reduces nervous behaviour in some horses.

Chromium 

Helps restrict lactic acid accumulation during exercise, is vital for optimal muscle development, enhances the activity of insulin and maintains regulation of glucose metabolism.
