Optimise X™ Unique proprietary blend of natural botanical products and adaptogens which may assist in optimising general health and recovery from strenuous exercise and competition. May be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress and muscle fatigue caused by free radicals generated during exercise. Active Constituent Pinus densiflora, Actinidia chinensis, Aloe vera, Agave inulin, Papain Pack Size 1L bottle
WARNING: This product is believed to contain no prohibited substances, but veterinarians should check with any governing authority before prescribing in competition horses. It is WADA and HASTA approved
Indications As Optimise X is a nutritional supplement, we make no specific claims about its use. However, Optimise X has been shown in humans to: • Optimise general health • Cardiovascular protective • Reduce oxidative stress • Reduce muscle fatigue • Improve muscle contractility • Improve endurance • Improve joint mobility and decrease joint pain • Regulate insulin • Aid recovery from strenuous • Value in the prevention and treatment of pathologies associated exercise/training/competition with oxidative stress, cancer and aging. In horses, Optimise-X may be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress and muscle fatigue caused by free radicals generated during exercise, promoting general health and allowing horses to perform at their optimum. Its cardiovascular affects may be of benefit in conditions of the respiratory system such as Exercise Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH / “bleeders”). Pharmacology Optimise X contains a unique blend of natural ingredients which are believed to function as adaptogens. An adaptogen is a natural substance, often derived from plants, that is considered to help the body adapt to stress, fatigue, and aging by acting upon vital tissues and organs and promoting or restoring normal physiological functioning
Research in vitro and in the human literature would indicate the key ingredients in Optimise X have the following properties: Pinus densiflora; antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, insulin regulation, neuroprotective, antimutagenic. Actinidia chinensis; antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, antimutagenic, antihyperlipidemic, insulin regulation and cardiovascular protective. Good source of triterpenoids, polyphenols, Vit C, amino acids and minerals. Aloe vera; antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, insulin regulation, antimutagenic, antihyperlipidemic. Contains polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants. Agave inulin; fibre source, pre-biotic, improves digestive health Papain; anti-inflammatory. Exercise Physiology In a series of double-blinded, placebo-controlled human exercise physiology studies, Optimise X has been shown to: • Increase time to fatigue of trained and untrained cyclists on a cycle ergometer. • Reduce oxidative stress induced suppression of aerobic respiration thereby increasing the efficacy of ATP production. • Blunt the decrease in force generating capacity that occurs during an acute bout of resistance free weight training, which improved the quality of work during the training session. • Reduce blood lactate concentration during exercise at 70% of peak power output. • Reduce perceived exertion at 70% and 95% of peak power output. Administration and Precautions Shake bottle well before each use. In some jurisdictions it is a requirement for supplements to be administered in the horse’s feed so that it may be voluntarily consumed. Administration by syringe over the back of the tongue withdraws the Regulator’s requirement for voluntary consumption and would require registration of this product as a medicine. Most horses find Optimise X palatable and will eat it readily in their feed.. Dosage The recommended daily dose is 25mL twice daily mixed in the horse’s feed. At times of acute stress (eg heavy competition, following an episode of EIPH/”bleeding”, long-distance travel, “tie up”/ rhabdomyolysis, etc), this dose may be increased two to fourfold
