Muscle & Focus

Maintain Composure, Build Topline*

Muscle & Focus is suitable for horses and ponies requiring stamina, focus and support for healthy muscle development and recovery, whether they are competing at higher levels or maintaining a leisure riding career. High quality protein sources provide the building blocks for muscle development, making Muscle & Focus ideal for those changing disciplines or just starting their ridden careers.

Product description

Free from alfalfa, soya, molasses, and whole cereal grains, Muscle & Focus is low in starch and sugar, ideal for those that react negatively to high starch diets or equines prone to gastric ulcers.

Muscle & Focus contains a comprehensive gut support package including:

  • Maerl (calcareous marine algae) which is rich in bioavailable calcium and magnesium to support the maintenance of a healthy stomach pH.
  • A blend of prebiotics and a probiotic to support the microbial population of the foregut and hindgut.
  • Apple Pectin, a water-soluble fibre that forms a gel when coming into contact with stomach acid.
  • A careful selection of herbs: mint, nettle, dandelion and fenugreek for their well-known properties.
