This allows it to travel anywhere in the body to protect cells from oxidative stress. But what does this mean for your horse?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor Performance Horses\u003c\/b\u003e ALA is an important component for muscle recovery. Intense exercise creates free radicals that damage tissue and cause soreness. ALA directly neutralizes these harmful molecules, recycles other essential antioxidants like Vitamins C and E, and acts as an essential cofactor in the creation of cellular energy. For the owner, this translates to better stamina, less post-workout stiffness, and a reduced risk of tying-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor Metabolic Horses\u003c\/b\u003e ALA is equally valuable for easy-keepers or horses managing Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). It works at the level of the cell membrane of muscles and helps transport glucose from the bloodstream directly into the cell. This potentially improves insulin sensitivity, reducing insulin resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eServing size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSuggested serving size: 1 gram per 100 lbs of body weight.
