PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET RIGLY ENER-GEE Reg. No. V23250 Act 36 of 1947 COMPOSITION Gross Energy 23 Megajoules/kg Oil 365 gikg (Min.) Protein 100 g/kg (Min.) RIGLY ENER-GEE has been specifically designed to provide a readily available source of energy which is derived froma special blend of oils. Itis well known that horses utilize olls more efficiently to produce energy than carbohydrate, however this productincludes @ presentation of ols that have been prepared ina manner that makes them readily available and readily absorbed. In addition it includes ‘two sources of carbohydrates — one being oat bran and the other being # polysaccharide blend of ingredients called maltodextrins ‘These are digested in the small intestine of the horse relatively rapidly and will supply a second source of energy to the horse during competition. Thus, the combination of these ingredients provides both a rapid and a slower source of energy when needed. In addition, the formulation includes Trimethylglycine (TMG) as wellas L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine has been well publishedas a naturally occurring amino acid which plays vital role in the metabolism of fat. Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body's burning of ‘triglycerides as fuel, and sparing the supply of glycogen stored inthe liver forheavier exertion. During exercise, the body will burn fatata rate of 75-80 % of maximum exertion, thus less glycogen from carbohydratesis burned. TMG detoxifies the powerful pro-oxidant and free-radical generator homocysteine, which is now known to be aleading cause of heart and artery disease. Itisa natural aminoacid that ‘occursin food and is produced in the body during the metabolism of choline. By providing supplemental TMG we can spare much of the body's choline reserves for conversion toacetylcholine, Thiscould also explain the improved muscle response that athletes experience after taking TMG. ‘The recommended dose of RIGLY ENER-GEE is 80 that should be provided shortly before a horse participates in competition —in particular when the horse would benefit from an energy boost. The producti supplied in 80 g syringes and itisrecommended that one syringe isused asa complete dose. If horses that are competing in endurance races experience what can be described as exhausted horse syndrome, they usually do not wish to eat or drink. If this s suspected it wil be beneficial to consider utilizing RIGLY ENER-GEE to encourage the animal to start, drinking and eating RIGLY ENER-GEE is available in packs of 3 x 80 g syringes Should you require any further information, please contact Stride Distributors CC or Tel.
