STORM® Equus

STORM® is a revolutionary breakthrough in sports nutrition for horses and provides vital nutritional building blocks and co-factors to optimise the management of muscle acidosis during exercise to delay the onset of fatigue.

STORM^® Science

Lactic acid build-up in muscle during any type of fast or strenuous exercise including jumping leads to the build up of hydrogen ions (H⁺), which make muscles more acidic, as shown by the drop in muscle pH.  This muscle acidosis contributes significantly to muscle fatigue and tiring in horses. Tired horses slow down, or can make crucial mistakes during competition.

STORM^® Equus is a unique scientifically proven feed supplement that features ProCarnosine^® to aid training and performance, by targeting muscle acidosis, calcium sensitivity and oxidative stress in muscle during intense exercise.

STORM^® delays ‘the burn’ of muscle fatigue by improving the body’s natural ability to manage or ‘buffer’ the H⁺ released from accumulating lactic acid and from other energy-generating biochemical pathways in muscle. Horses are thus able to maintain their peak speed or power for longer, or in the case of more aerobic disciplines such as endurance to perform at a higher intensity before H⁺ starts to accumulate significantly. Improved management of acidosis during exercise also means that training can be more effective and muscles will recover more quickly from hard work, racing or competition .

STORM^® provides key building blocks to support the synthesis of carnosine, the most important ‘buffer’ in muscle, which is crucial for better handling of H⁺ during exercise. Carnosine can be thought of as being like a biological sponge that is able to complex with H⁺ and therefore delay muscle acidosis during exercise.

Over a period of 1 month, these ingredients can boost muscle carnosine typically by up to 20% or more.
