A blend of quality B-Group vitamins, essential amino acids and bio-chelated minerals for use in horses diets where additional supplementation of these nutrients is desired. Horses that may benefit from additional supplementation with HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® Heavily exercised horses Horses recovering from strenuous exercise Horses recovering from injury Horses recovering after antibiotic therapy Horses fed an imbalanced diet Older horses that have a reduced ability to produce and absorb essential vitamins and minerals Available in 1.2kg, 5kg & 10kg HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® is formulated as a dietary supplement for performance horses and horses under stress that may benefit from additional supplementation of essential, minerals, B group vitamins and amino acids. HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® contains Bioplex® chelated trace minerals. These are minerals which are bound to an amino acid or amino acid chain by means of a chemical reaction. The chelation process protects the minerals from oxidative reactions within the horse’s stomach that may lead to other forms of inorganic mineral supplementation (oxides and sulphates) to become less absorbable or conflict with other nutrients which can cause gastric intestinal irritations. The BIOPLEX® chelates in HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® offer a more efficient and absorbable method of providing mineral supplementation. HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® contains Bioplex® Chelated Iron, Copper and Cobalt that aid in the synthesis and the manufacture of blood haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is responsible for transport of oxygen from the lungs throughout the body and is therefore a key component in the production of energy. Bio-Chelated Iron is absorbed into the blood stream more readily and effectively than inorganic ferric salts. HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® also contains Bioplex® Chelated Copper to maximise the incorporation of Iron in the structure of haemoglobin. Additional Cobalt as well as Folic Acid are included into HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® to assist in the production of Vitamin B12, which in turn aids in the stimulation of appetite, metabolism and blood cell production. Bioplex® Chelated Zinc and Manganese which also play an important role in metabolism and bone and cartilage formation are also active constituents of HYGAIN® PAK-CELL®. HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® contains high levels of B Group Vitamins which are essential for the equine athlete to function. B Group Vitamins are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids to energy. Even though B Group Vitamins are generated within the body these can not be stored in large quantities in the horse. Therefore certain categories of performance horses (Race Horses, Eventers, Endurance), may require additional B Group vitamin supplementation. HYGAIN® PAK-CELL® contains quality essential amino acids that aid in the formation of proteins and enzymes responsible for growth, muscle development/ repair and metabolism in the horse.
