MAX 02 by Horse Gold
The first part of the Max O2 formula targets Wheat Germ Technology. Wheat germ products have received
great attention over the past year due to their potential ability to help animals better utilize oxygen by aiding in
the overall respiratory system’s health. Clinical studies have suggested the natural compounds in wheat germ
products can potentially help in oxygen utilization during exercise and also aid in the glycogen storage in
horse's muscles.
To further combat stress, we have added three key ingredients which consist of Magnesium and Potassium,
which are minerals, and one amino acid which is Aspartic Acid. Clinical research demonstrates when these
three are added together in specific amounts, they travel into the blood and to the cells of the body where the
nutrients penetrate the cell wall and enter directly into the cell’s energy cycle. Their metabolic functions are
listed below:
Magnesium– Most of the magnesium contained in the body is located in muscle and soft tissue, 1% is in extra
cellular fluids, and the remainder in the skeleton. Magnesium is essential for all biosynthetic processes
including carbohydrate use, energy -dependent membrane transport processes, and the transmission of
genetic code. More than 300 enzymes (of a total 1,500) are known to be activated by magnesium.
Potassium– The principal intracellular cation with a concentration inside the cell 30 times more than in the
extra cellular water. This small extra cellular quantity is very important to the transmission of nerve impulses
and the control of skeletal muscle contraction.
Aspartic Acid – A non-essential amino acid synthesized in the body from the amino acid glutamate and vitamin
B6 as a cofactor. It has an important function in the urea cycle (the body’s method of ammonia release).
Aspartic acid can also enter the energy producing TCA cycle. Research has demonstrated that aspartic acid
can potentially stimulate the immune system and may protect against free radical formation. Wheat germ
products are known to contain high levels of aspartic acid.
Max O2 is the first product to offer these three ingredients in such a combination to the horse racing
community.
Another key amino acid included in Max O2 is L-Glutamine. It is the most abundant amino acid in an animal’s
body. L-Glutamine has been used in hospitals for years to speed recovery and maintain muscle mass in cases
of medical distress, and has been recently embraced as a supplement for athletic animals. Since animal
muscle cells absorb a substantial amount of glutamine, Max O2 has been fortified with the highest quality of L-
Glutamine (human grade material) to help animals improve their glutamine muscle reserves. As a result,
research has demonstrated that water and glycogen stores are often enhanced, potentially producing what
some call a "cell-volumizing" effect.
Based on L-Glutamine’s metabolic role, the best time to administer Max 02 to a horse is immediately after the
animal’s body is physically strained or stressed, which is why Max O2 was ultimately designed. Examples are
after exercising an animal, hauling, holding, during extreme temperature changes, and/or any other times of
distress such as racing horses.
Another key ingredient in Max O2 is Vitamin E. The benefits of Vitamin E have been greatly emphasized due
to its critical role in many biological functions. Vitamin E is known to provide the first line of defense in
protecting the integrity of body organs, tissues, and cell membranes from damage caused by biological
oxidations (STRESS). Basically, Vitamin E acts as a free radical scavenger by preventing highly unstable free
radicals from attacking the polyunsaturated fatty acids of cell membranes. This helps allow the horses to stay
healthy, to function properly and to support muscle mass growth. Additionally, we only use the Natural d-alpha-
tocopherol in Max O2 , since research has demonstrated its bioavailability (available for use by the animal's
body) to be approximately 2:1 when compared to synthetic Vitamin E.
Max O2 also contains Brewer’s yeast, known as saccharomyces cerevisiae. Brewer’s yeast provides a ready,
dependable, and natural food source of high quality proteins, mineral and vitamins. Brewer’s yeast is one of
the best natural sources of B vitamins (including Thiamine, Roboflavin, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Pantothenic Acid,
Biotin, Choline, Inositol, Folic Acid, and Paraminobenzoic Acid). Each precisely fulfills a vital function in the
body, and all work as co-enzymes involved in energy production by converting carbohydrates into glucose to
supply the body’s cells with energy.
Finally, we also have included a natural source of key Omega fatty acids. Omega fatty acids (omega 3 and 6’
s) are considerably new to the animal nutrition world. They are extensively used now in pet foods, but are
relatively expensive to use in everyday animal production diets. In typical cases these fatty acids are what we
call essential fatty acids. One of their main roles is as a structural component of all cell membranes. Research
also links EFA’s to improving the action of insulin, and enhancing the oxygen use and energy transformation
required to optimize performance. Top nutritionists agree Omega Fatty acids may be anabolic, anti-catabolic,
anti-inflammatory, and advantageous for the general health of your racehorse.
Rounding out this unique anti-catabolic formula is an ingredient to help support the general health of the
animal’s abdomen. Horse Gold has fortified Max O2 with Poly and Oligosaccharides and Probiotic. Several
years of extensive studies in Europe testing a new product called Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), has shown
FOS to potentially reduce the frequency and severity of intestinal disorders. This particularly is beneficial
when stressing your horses, which is when intestinal disorders such as gastric ulcers develop.
As you can see, Max O2 is not just another product on the market to help a horse breathe better. Max O2
contains numerous amounts of scientifically proven ingredients to help horses feel better and perform at their
maximum genetic potential. All of this is offered in one highly palatable product that is cost effective. We are
here to provide you with the leading supplements on the market today and these are the types of products to
expect from Horse Gold.
