Lysine – HCL (Amino Acid)
Essential Support for Growth, Muscle Development & Recovery
Lysine is a vital amino acid that horses cannot produce on their own—making supplementation essential for optimal health, especially in growing, training, or recovering animals. Our high-quality Lysine-HCL formula supports key physiological functions and complements natural feeding programs, along with the correct workload. DOSE RATE: 10g-30g per day, depending on age and workload.
Key Benefits:
- 🐴 Promotes Lean Muscle Growth – Supports protein synthesis for strong, well-developed muscles.
- 🌱 Essential for Young & Growing Horses – Aids in proper growth and bone development.
- 🛠️ Supports Recovery After Exercise or Injury – Helps repair tissues and reduce post-workout soreness.
- 🧠 Enhances Immune Function – Plays a role in antibody production and overall immune resilience.
- 🍽️ Improves Feed Efficiency – Supports nutrient absorption and utilization, especially in protein-deficient diets.
- 🧬 Balances Amino Acid Profiles – Complements other amino acids for optimal metabolic function.
Ideal for performance horses, breeding stock, and young horses needing extra support.
Horses That Benefit from Lysine Supplementation
1. Young, Growing Horses (Foals & Yearlings)
- Lysine is essential for proper growth, bone development, and muscle formation.
- Deficiency can lead to poor topline, slow growth, and weak skeletal structure.
2. Performance & Working Horses
- Supports muscle repair and recovery after exercise.
- Enhances stamina, reduces fatigue, and helps maintain lean muscle mass.
3. Breeding Mares & Stallions
- Crucial for reproductive health, gestation, and lactation.
- Helps mares produce nutrient-rich milk and supports foal development.
4. Horses Recovering from Injury or Illness
- Aids in tissue repair and immune function.
- Supports faster recovery and helps rebuild lost muscle.
5. Senior Horses
- Older horses often have reduced protein absorption.
- Lysine helps maintain muscle tone and immune resilience.
6. Horses on Low-Protein or Grass-Based Diets
- Grass and cereal grains are typically low in lysine.
- Supplementation improves protein utilization and overall feed efficiency.
7. Horses with Poor Hoof or Coat Quality
- Lysine supports keratin production, which strengthens hooves and enhances coat shine.

| Mature Horses | 3+ years | Maintenance | 20–25g/day |
| Light work | 25–30g/day | ||
| Moderate work | 30–35g/day | ||
| Intense work | 40–45g/day | ||
| Breeding Mares | Gestation/Lactation | N/A | 35–40g/day |
| Stallions | Active breeding | N/A | 30–35g/day |

🌱 Notes for Use
- These doses assume supplementation with pure Lysine-HCL.
- Adjust based on dietary protein levels—grass and grain diets often lack lysine.
- Split doses if exceeding 30g/day to improve absorption.
