To assist recovery from strenuous work:
Give 60-80g orally within 30 minutes after exercise. For horses in training: Horses in training or returning from a layoff, give 60-80g 30-50 minutes before exertion and then repeat within 30 minutes post-exertion. Tips: There is a small window of opportunity within 30 minutes after exercise when muscles begin the repair process during recovery. If sufficient branch chain amino acids are available at this time, optimum muscle repair and recovery will take place rapidly. If the diet has insufficient branch chain amino acids, then the repair process stops, and muscles damaged by free radicals and lactic acid production cannot repair themselves resulting in muscle soreness, tying up, cramping, pain, and poor performance. Ensure BC5aa PASTE is given within 30 minutes after exercise. BC5aa is administered before hard exercise will ensure that sufficient branch chain amino acids are available while muscle exertion is occurring to limit muscle damage and maximize recovery. |
