MUSTAX Muscle+

Our MUSTAX M+ effectively supports the formation of muscles, increases rideability and promotes the ability to regenerate, but does so without any habituation effect and will not negatively affect your horse's temperament in any way!

Whereas laminitis used to be triggered more frequently by protein, today it is more likely to be caused by fructans in pasture grass. The photosynthesis of plants and therefore the production of energy is dependent on sun, heat and water: if more energy and therefore more sugar is produced, the plant begins to convert the sugar into fructan in order to temporarily store the excess energy. Due to their structure, fructans are rapidly fermentable carbohydrates that are subject to rapid microbial degradation in the horse's large intestine. The products resulting from fermentation can enter the bloodstream through the damaged intestinal mucosa and have a toxic effect on the sensitive dermis of the hooves. Any form of feeding that leads to "overloading" of the cecum and large intestine can result in laminitis. To spare your horse this unnecessary strain, we use high-quality fats in combination with the amino acids lysine and methionine in our MUSTAX M+ - which is why it is also suitable for use in horses with laminitis.

Wir empfehlen das MUSTAX Muskel+ zwei Mal am Tag zu füttern, weil du
dadurch am schnellsten Effekte erzielst. Wenn du die gesamte Menge
ein Mal pro Tag zu fütterst ist das gar kein Problem. Es kann dann nur
sein, dass du die ersten Erfolge vielleicht ein paar Tage später spürst. Wenn
du ein Mal am Tag fütterst empfehlen wir nur mit einer kleineren Menge zu
starten, und dann das Pulver nach und nach zu erhöhen, damit dein Pferd sich
gut und einfach an das Pulver gewöhnen kann.

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question, as it depends very much on the individual case (age, weight, constitution, workload) and the desired result: If your horse is already well trained and only needs to be actively supported in building muscle with MUSTAX M+, you should notice an increase in rideability and a shortening of the release phase after just 7 to 10 days. After 4 to 6 weeks, changes in the muscles will be visible to the naked eye. However, if your horse is convalescing after colic surgery, for example, as a result of which it has lost a lot of weight and needs to be gently fed again, it can of course take a few months for your horse to regain its old form.

Our MUSTAX M+ is also suitable for foals and young growing horses, as it actively promotes the formation of a good bone structure, among other things. However, the dosage should be lower depending on the age and size of the horse.

On average, a small bucket of M+ (5 kg) lasts approx. 3 to 4 weeks for normal requirements, a large bucket of M+ (10 kg) between 6 and 8 weeks.

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question, as it depends very much on the individual case (age, weight, constitution, workload) and the desired result: If the horse is only to be supported by MUSTAX M+ in building muscle, is only working lightly and has no particular deficits, a dose of 1/3 measuring cup twice a day is absolutely sufficient. However, if your horse is convalescing after colic surgery, for example, and has lost a lot of weight as a result and needs to be gently fed again, a dosage of up to 1 measuring cup twice a day is recommended.

To achieve a significant difference or a lasting effect, MUSTAX M+ should be fed for around 3 months. After that, you can of course decide for yourself whether you want to continue to support your horse optimally or return to the previous feeding. However, our MUSTAX+ is designed for problem-free long-term administration and can be given indefinitely without a habituation effect occurring.

Most horses eat our MUSTAX M+ with their concentrated feed without any problems. A few horses are a little skeptical at first because they are not familiar with powder or cannot yet identify the new taste. However, almost all of them can be easily convinced with simple tricks. 🚀

If your horse is such a gourmet, you can start with a lower dosage and moisten the concentrated feed including M+ with a little malt beer/apple juice (depending on preference), or add a dollop of cheap apple sauce from the discount store. In very stubborn cases, the M+ can also simply be stirred into the mash at first. Gradually increase the amount to the final desired dosage.

There is no general answer to this question, as it depends very much on the individual case (age, weight, constitution, workload) and the desired result: If the horse is only to be supported in building muscle, is only working lightly and has no particular deficits, a dose of 1/3 measuring cup of MUSTAX M+ twice a day is absolutely sufficient. However, if the horse is convalescing after colic surgery, for example, and has lost a lot of weight as a result and needs to be gently fed again, a dosage of up to 1 measuring cup of M+ twice a day is completely safe.

If you want to discontinue our MUSTAX M+, your horse will of course not lose the muscle mass it has built up, as long as the amount of feed is adjusted and its training workload remains the same. However, if your horse gains too much mass while on M+, you can simply reduce the amount of concentrated feed and continue to feed MUSTAX M+ . As a rule of thumb, 200 g of M+ can replace around 1.5 kg of concentrated feed.

Man kann die Dosierung in der Pausenphase zwar reduzieren, musst man aber nicht. Wir empfehlen es ruhig mit 200g normal weiter zu dosieren, da es zusätzlich auch Bänder, Sehnen und Gelenke mit wichtigen Nährstoffen versorgt und auch im Wachstum unterstützt. Einen negativen Einfluss auf's Temperament muss man dabei nicht befürchten - MUSTAX Muskel+ macht auch bei leichterer Arbeit nicht "doof im Kopf".

Nein, es belastet die Leber im Gegensatz zu Produkten, die den Muskelstoffwechsel über Eiweiß ankurbeln, nicht. Bei diesen Produkten muss der Eiweißüberschuss über die Leber entgiftet werden.

Gerade gegen Übersäuerung hat man mit unserem MUSTAX M+ das perfekte Zusatzfutter an der Hand. Natürlich wird hiermit der Muskelaufbau effektiv unterstützt, aber durch die hochwertigen Fette (statt über vermehrte Zufuhr an Protein) auch eine Übersäuerung
wirkungsvoll verhindert.

Wir raten (bedingt durch den hohen Fettanteil) zur der Dosierung für Fohlen. Als Robustrasse verwertet das Shetty, auch bei höherer Belastung, die Fette anders, als ein Großpferd. Von daher sollte die niedrigere Dosierung locker ausreichen.

Ab dem Alter von ca. 1,5 Jahren kann, zunächst niedrig dosiert, mit der Zufütterung des MUSTAX M+ begonnen werden. In der Vorbereitung zur Körung (Longieren/Freispringen) kann dann langsam auf die empfohlene Menge für ein Grosspferd gesteigert werden.

Hierbei gilt als Faustformel, dass 200 gr Muskel+ ca. 2 kg Kraftfutter vom Nährwert her ersetzen können. Mit steigendem Trainingspensum passt du das Kraftfutter dann wieder entsprechend an.
