Did you know that supplementing Lysine not only boosts the immune system, but supports your horse’s topline and muscle health as well?
Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning it cannot be created by the body so it must be obtained through the diet. Lysine is, in fact, the only amino acid for which we have an equine requirement—4.3% of the crude protein requirement (NRC, 2007). Amino acids like lysine are the building blocks of proteins and is key to calcium absorption, muscle development, blood building, tissue repair, and boosting the immune system.
