Science Supplements EnerGex

What is it?

The EnerGex range of feed and paste is a specialist disaccharide that increases blood glucose levels in a controlled, safe and sustainable way.

EnerGex is a naturally sourced smart carbohydrate, providing full carbohydrate energy in a more balanced way thanks to its low-glycaemic profile. By improving fat oxidation during physical activity, it prolongs energy supply.

EnerGex is rapidly absorbed, and increases blood glucose levels within 30 minutes and can maintain an increased level for 2 hours. EnerGex can also be given after training or competition to aid recovery.

Glucose is the most important energy source for horses during exercise. Low blood glucose levels are associated with fatigue and reduced performance and maintaining blood glucose levels is especially important during prolonged exercise, when competing and for horses that are lacking in energy.

Maintaining blood glucose concentration during exercise is vital as an energy source for the working muscles and also vitally for the brain. During prolonged exercise blood glucose levels can begin to fall as liver glycogen levels begin to deplete. Low blood glucose will seriously affect exercise performance. Many energy supplements containing simple sugars which can lead to undesirable fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

EnerGex helps to maintain blood glucose levels during exercise by providing a readily available source of carbohydrate. EnerGex also provides a readily available source of carbohydrate to aid recovery following hard work, racing or competition. EnerGex is a disaccharide that is not normally found in your horses’ diet. Once digested it releases sugars that can be steadily converted to glucose to buffer the levels in the bloodstream. It is a low glycemic functional carbohydrate that releases sugar more slowly and so does not produce a big rise, which could be detrimental during exercise.

What’s in it?

EnerGex is a unique disaccharide, a naturally sourced smart carbohydrate, providing full carbohydrate energy in a more balanced way thanks to its low-glycaemic profile. By improving fat oxidation during physical activity, it prolongs energy supply.. A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined by glycosidic linkage.

Disaccharides are one of the four chemical groupings of carbohydrates (monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides).

It is 100 % vegan and non-GMO.

The molecular linkage of EnerGex is more stable compared to that of sucrose.

Research

EnerGex has undergone a number of clinical studies demonstrating that it safely increases plasma levels after 30 minutes to 2 hours and is suitable as a readily available source of carbohydrate for horses during or following exercise or in circumstances where food intake is reduced due to travel or illness.

Ingredients & Feeding Guide | Syringe

Pony – approximately 250kg | 1/2 Syringe
Horse – approximately 500kg | 1 Syringe
Large Horse – over 750kg | 1 Syringe

EnerGex can be given before, during or after competition or training. If given before exercise EnerGex should not be given more than 15 minutes prior to the start, to maximise the effect. For intense exercise, 2 syringes may be given. Additional syringes may be given every 1-2 hours. Given immediately after exercise, EnerGex promotes recovery.

Do not exceed the recommended intake.

One of our core values is transparency. That’s why we list all the active ingredients per daily feeding rate so you know exactly what your horse is getting.
