Even with a balanced diet, horses can still fall short in key essential amino acids required for maintaining healthy muscle and topline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy these ingredients?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLysine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is considered the first limiting amino acid in the equine diet, meaning horses commonly do not get enough from forage alone. It plays a major role in muscle development, growth and protein synthesis, making it one of the most important amino acids for maintaining condition and topline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethionine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e supports muscle metabolism while also contributing to healthy hooves, coat and connective tissue.

If one essential amino acid is lacking, the horse cannot efficiently utilise the others.
