Essential Amino Acids
Complete targeted support in one formulaSupplies All 9 Essential Amino Acids
Unlike single-amino-acid products, this formula provides the full essential amino acid group horses must obtain through the diet.
When to Use Essential Amino Acids for Horses
Essential Amino Acids can be particularly useful where forage quality, workload, hoof condition or muscle development indicate a greater need for targeted amino acid nutrition.
Performance Horses
Horses involved in intensive training, competition or endurance work may benefit from additional amino acids to support recovery and muscle maintenance.
Restricted Diets & Weight Management
Horses requiring controlled calorie intake can receive targeted amino acid support without significantly increasing energy intake or feed volume.
Topline & Muscle Development
Particularly useful for horses that struggle to develop topline, maintain muscle condition or improve overall muscle tone despite appropriate exercise.
Cracked, Brittle or Poor-Quality Hooves
Hoof horn is largely made from structural proteins. Even where mineral intake is balanced, some horses may benefit from additional amino acid support for hoof quality and integrity.
Low Protein or Imbalanced Forage
Where forage is low in crude protein or has an unfavourable nitrogen-to-sulphur ratio, essential amino acid supplementation can help improve amino acid availability.
Older Horses
Older horses may benefit from additional amino acid support to help maintain muscle condition and overall body composition.
Not All Amino Acid Supplements Are The Same
Many equine amino acid products supply only three amino acids: lysine, methionine and threonine. Forageplus Essential Amino Acids supplies all 9 essential amino acids in one complete equine-specific formula.

Why Supply All 9 Essential Amino Acids?
Horses cannot produce essential amino acids in sufficient amounts themselves and must obtain them from the diet. Supplying the complete group of 9 essential amino acids gives broader nutritional support than tri-amino products alone.
Why Not Simply Feed More Protein?
Protein is made from amino acids. If key essential amino acids are missing or limited, simply increasing crude protein may not provide the targeted nutritional support a horse needs.
Essential Amino Acids supplies the complete group of 9 dietary amino acids horses must obtain through the diet, helping support muscle maintenance, topline, recovery and tissue health without adding unnecessary bulk.
