What are some visible signs that my horse needs Myo-Guard?
Reduced tolerance for work due to fatigued muscles.

Which equine athletes may benefit from
Myo-Guard?
Increased oxidative stress has been measured in horses performing high-intensity, short-duration exercise and low-intensity, long-duration exercise. Therefore, Myo-Guard would be appropriate for racehorses, three-day event horses, endurance horses, and polo ponies.
Can Myo-Guard benefit my horse after a stressful performance or if muscle damage has already occurred?
The most dramatic effects noted by users of Myo-Guard occur when it is administered following hard work when signs of muscle fatigue and damage are evident. Myo-Guard will help horses recover from work sooner and return to feed more quickly, eliminating downtime between performances and training periods.
Do most horse feeds contain selenium and vitamin E?
Forages and most fortified concentrates contain vitamin E and selenium in amounts that meet the nutrient requirements for mature horses at maintenance. The amount of these two nutrients found in the average daily horse ration is not, however, enough to meet the demands of horses undergoing strenuous training and competition, and will not provide enough to help horses recover from hard work, especially if they have gone off feed.
