CEN Beta Alanine is 100% pure amino acid that helps slow fatigue by supporting the natural ability of the muscles to cope with lactic acid build up. This is a must for the performance horses.
It helps to build condition and improve recovery in animals who are competing at speed, jumping or performing over long periods of time. Beta-alanine is the building block of carnosine, a molecule that acts to buffer acid in muscles
Key Features
Helps the body deal with the impact of lactic acid build up
May help with Tying Up
Promotes Stamina
Delays Fatigue
Builds Condition
Feed Rate
Feed 10g per 100kg of body weight before exercise.
Loading Feed Rate – 50g daily for 30 days prior to racing or competition.
Maintenance Feed Rate – 50g Only on high performance days (training and competition)
This 50g daily is for a 500kg horse.
Stop feeding during periods of rest or out of season.
Supplementation with Beta-alanine for horses can help to; support the immune system, improve stamina levels via buffering lactic acid build-up, increase muscle health and reduce oxidative stress in horses with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER), also known as tying-up.
Stamina
Beta-alanine is a 100% pure amino acid & popular supplement for competition horses which can help improve exercise performance and delay fatigue. It increases muscle equine carnosine levels, which can help buffer the build-up of lactic acid and hydrogen ions during high-intensity exercise (1)(4).
Muscle Health / Tying Up
Beta-alanine supplementation has been shown to improve muscle function and reduce oxidative stress in horses with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER), also known as tying-up (2).
Immune System
Beta-alanine can also have a positive effect on the immune system by enhancing the production of nitric oxide, which can help fight infections and diseases
Conditioning
Beta-alanine supplementation has been found to improve body composition in horses by increasing lean muscle mass and reducing body fat (1).

Jemima Gardiner –
Beta Alanine has been a game changer for us and our quarter horse mare! With a history of tying up when competing around mainland Australia, it has previously been quite stressful to train and compete to our full capacity. Now we have so much peace of mind with Beta Alanine added to her diet! She has successfully competed all around Australia in the past few months without even the slightest indication of tying up!
