Product Information

Trace elements are also associated with reduced muscle damage, especially selenium, manganese and magnesium. Phospholipids (Oatinol) – proven to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption. Analytical Constituents There are two aspects to muscle repair, whilst protein deposition would seem the most obvious, lipid metabolism is essential. Muscle fibres are, in the main, protein strands, but are encased in a protein/lipid complex cell membrane and it is the chemical properties of the both the neutral lipids and the phospholipids that allow the strands to slide over each other; giving rise to contraction. An important electrolyte which regulates bodily fluids across cells and essential for movement of nerve impulses across the body. Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.

Glutamic Acid -a natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural healing and gut health duringtimes of stress. Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition. When incorporated into the feed it supplies the following four active nutraceuticals to: Vitamin C -essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals. It directly affects the level of tissue growth, development or repair after injury so is crucial for healing and the body’s immune system. Hemp Oil Derived Omega 3 Fatty Acids – crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body. However, there is a biochemical and physiological process to muscle damage. Muscular activity induces protein breakdown and the release of inflammatory markers and immunomodulatory cues which mop up damaged particles. At the same time, oxidative free radicals and enzymes continue the process of protein breakdown.

Amino Acids -High levels of 5 particular dietary amino acids, essential for the production of muscle tissue. Helps preserve the availability of essential amino acids methionine and choline for use within the body. Essential for the manufacture of collagen and a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.

Superb product which has made a huge difference to my 11 year old collie cross. He is much more mobile and enjoys playing again. He seems to have much less arthritic pain now. Vitamin E has long been known as an effective antioxidant, but also reduces those enzymes associated with protein breakdown.Essential for the utilisation of amino acids; involved in the production of red blood cells and the integrity of the nervous system. Oat Derived Beta Glucans -have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption. Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers (Oatinol) – to support the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.
