Benefits of Beta Alanine for Horses
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.

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that can be beneficial for horses in various ways.
Stamina
Beta-alanine can help improve exercise performance and delay fatigue in horses. It increases muscle 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).
