WHAT IS EQUITOP® MYOPLAST?
Equitop® Myoplast is a unique muscle supplement designed to support healthy lean muscle growth in horses. Containing a combination of 18 amino acids derived from Spirulina, including 9 essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, it also provides a natural source of antioxidants to help neutralise the free radicals produced during exercise, and essential fatty acids to support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes.
Equitop® Myoplast is presented in a tasty pearl granule which horses love and is suitable for all horses. It can be mixed with feed or fed separately. It has been tested free of doping relevant substances and is recommended by vets for a wide range of horses.
It is recommended that Equitop® Myoplast is fed for at least two months, and many horse owners feed Equitop® Myoplast as part of the daily diet long-term. One tub typically lasts for 30 days providing good value for money for the high quality ingredients in each scoop.

MUSCLE SUPPLEMENTS FOR HORSES
Strong, healthy muscles are vital to keep our horses fit and active, and to help them perform at their best. To build topline, the muscles along the spine, horses need the right work and the right nutrition. Unlike many supplements and diets which use a combination of fats and oils to promote weight gain, Equitop® Myoplast focuses solely on lean muscle growth.
Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins which form muscles. To gain most benefit from training and exercise, horses need to receive the right amount and type of amino acids in their diet to support healthy muscle growth.
Horses can produce some amino acids themselves, 'non-essential amino acids', but several others – the ‘essential amino acids’ – must be supplied within their diet. If a horse’s diet is lacking in any amino acids, their athletic performance may be impacted. Equitop® Myoplast contains a complex blend of 18 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids, which complements those required by growing and recovering equine muscle tissue.
Equitop® Myoplast also provides a natural source of antioxidants to help neutralise the free radicals produced during exercise, and essential fatty acids to support the body's natural anti-inflammatory processes.
