RECOVERY – MEGAVITE-B PASTE
®
IDEAL FOR
Horses in hard training
Horses required to maintain optimum performance under a demanding
competition/race schedule
Horses and foals recovering from injury or illness
Travelling horses
AT A GLANCE
Provides a potent blend of essential B vitamins and amino acids
Megavite-B is a premium quality concentrated B-Complex and
amino acid paste which helps horses make a speedy recovery from
the rigours of competition and travel.
®
Presented in a low dose paste (5mL, twice weekly)
Selected blend of amino acids converts food to fuel
Replenishes muscle energy stores
Directions for use
Aids fast recovery after exercise or illness
Warm product to room temperature, stir contents before use.
Withdraw required dose with syringe supplied. Recommended
dose is 5mL twice weekly.
• Racing horses: Give 10mL to achieve high blood levels prior
to the stresses of racing. The pre-race loading will also ensure
the metabolic co-factors are readily available to enable a quick
recovering following the race.
•
Competition horses: While travelling away from home for
several days, give 10mL 4-6 hours prior to travelling and
then 5mL every third day while away. This will help replenish
energy stores, encourage appetite and minimise the stress of
competing in a strange environment. Ponies should be given
1mL per 100kg bodyweight.
•
Horses recovering from illness or injury: Following illness,
injury of worm burden, MEGAVITE-B will provide a readily
available source of B-complex vitamins to improve metabolic
processes, stimulate appetite and assist recovery. Give 1mL per
100kg bodyweight twice weekly until the horse is fully recovered.

RECOVERY –NEUTRADEX
®
Neutradex aids in neutralising lactic
acid and ‘free radicals’ which build
up in the muscles during exercise and
which can potentially lead to cramping,
stiffness, fatigue and slow recovery.
Neutradex is a mild diuretic and
encourages horses to drink increasing
the action of the kidneys in clearing
toxic wastes produced by hard exercise.
®
IDEAL FOR
Horses in hard training
Horses with a history of tying up
Preventing dehydration
Preventing muscle soreness after fast/
intense work
®
AT A GLANCE
Helps with horses prone to tying up
Helps delay the onset of muscle fatigue impairing endurance
Directions for use
Contains citrate providing a very effective way of buffering acid build up
Precautions: Ensure an adequate
supply of cool, clean water is
accessible. Neutradex exerts a mild
diuretic and neutralising effect on acidic
substances which accumulate in the muscles and blood stream.
In horses, Neutradex may also be prescribed as a co-treatment in
kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections.
®
®
Dosage And Administration (horses 450-500kg):
Aids fast recovery after exercise or illness
Encourages drinking to prevent dehydration
Gentle diuretic effect which encourages the kidneys to flush toxins
Suitable for daily use
PRESENTATION
1L pack provides 35 doses for average horses.
28mL of Neutradex added to the feed daily. Following hard or
fast work or racing, give 50mL Neutradex orally (by syringe over
the back of the tongue). Horses suffering from dehydration need
a supplementary daily ration of electrolytes. Neutradex can be
safely used with balanced electrolyte supplements based on the
particular work program.
®
®
5L pack provides 178 doses for average horses.
20L pack provides 714 doses for average horses.
®
• To Help Prevent Tying Up: Give additional 30mL by mouth
after every workout or slow work, and increase to 50mL after
any hard work (if horses are prone to muscle soreness and
tying up).
ANALYSIS
Each 28mL dose contains:
Sodium acid citrate 7.93g

RECOVERY – WHITE-E WITH SELENIUM
®
IDEAL FOR
Horses in hard training
Horses prone to muscle stiffness and tying up
Horses with restricted access to pasture
Horses kept in selenium deficient areas
Improving immunity to diseases
AT A GLANCE
Synergistic effect of two powerful antioxidants vitamin E and selenium
Detoxifies and neutralises toxic ‘free radicals’
White-E and Selenium work in synergy to protect cells from free
radical damage. ‘Free radicals’ are chemical compounds that occur
naturally in the body which can damage healthy cells, affect muscle
function and reduce fertility and immunity.
Organic form of selenium used is more rapidly absorbed
Directions for use
Ideal for daily use
Do not exceed the dosage rates detailed below. If higher doses
of Vitamin E are required, feed White-E powder or liquid which do
not contain selenium.
