Un-Lock® contains more Amino Acids, Electrolytes, and Essential Vitamins than any formula on the market!

 

Unlock Beats them ALL!

 

Un-Lock® provides a full 44,600 milligrams of amino acids per serving including Brached-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), L- Arginine, L-Glutamine and L-Carnitine. BCCA’s have been shown to lower heart rates during training, provide energy, a buffer lactic acid in the blood.  These amino acids also assist in muscle recovery from intense exercise and can also help horses that are being transported to prevent muscle damage.

 

 

      • Isoleucine is one of the essential amino acids that cannot be made by the body and is known for its ability to help endurance and assist in the repair and rebuilding of muscle. This amino acid is important to competition horses as it helps boost energy and helps the body recover from training.
      • Leucine is the fourth most concentrated amino acid in muscle. Leucine is not only essential, but is beneficial for horses. Leucine helps trigger muscle growth and maintain muscle tissue through sustaining nitrogen balance. Leucine also supplies energy to the body even when under the stress of training and preserves muscle glycogen used for muscle contraction.
      • Valine specifically supports lean muscle-mass building and muscle repair. Valine helps prevent the breakdown of muscle by supplying the muscles with extra glucose for energy production during intense physical activity.

 

 

 

 

      • Arginine is a potent nitric oxide enhancer that causes vasodilation of both smooth and skeletal muscles. It also works -well to dialate the vessels of the skeletal muscles thus providing more blood flow to them. Arginine works well in “tying up” type horses. The vasodilating properties are also very useful when treating “bleeders” because it reduces resistance to the blood flow through the lungs. It is also often used in colic cases to help reduce spasms and ischemia due to insults of the vascular areas of the intestines.
      • Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the horse’s muscles and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Prolonged exercise lowers glutamine levels in the body; using glutamine before or after workouts helps restore glycogen levels, the energy reserve in the liver and muscle that fuels exercise. Glutamine also helps speed muscle recovery and prevents muscle soreness.
      • Carnitine improves athletic performance, reduces muscle fatigue and improves recovery after hard work. It delays muscle fatigue by reducing lactic acid formation…which allows your horse to maintain top speed longer.

 

 

Un-Lock® provides 6,350 milligrams total of all FIVE Electrolytes per serving. When endurance horses sweat, they lose significant amounts of electrolytes, and during long rides, calcium and magnesium. When these essential nutrients are lost, acute deficiencies may occur and result in such conditions as thumps and tying-up.  Un-Lock® is loaded with electrolytes to prevent this outcome.

The electrolytes sodium and chloride help maintain normal electrolyte balance in body tissues and aid recovery. Potassium, magnesium and calcium are also included to balance and assist in maintaining cellular integrity and healthy nerve, muscle and cardiac function. Un-Lock® is essential support for elite equine athletes.

Selenium, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C are essential muscle nutrients that have each been shown to reduce signs of Tying-Up.  Un-Lock® provides effective amounts of each vitamin to prevent horses from tying-up.

 

 

      • Selenium: During exercise several chemical processes occur, allowing the horse’s muscle to utilize energy. However, those same processes produce oxidation-induced damage by free radicals. Selenium is a vital part of glutathione peroxidase–an enzyme that prevents free radicals from causing cellular damage. Deficiencies in selenium will directly relate to a decreased ability to rid the muscle of these detrimental substances and can cause tying up.  Un-Lock® helps ensure that your horse will not suffer from selenium deficiency or episodes of tying-up.
      • Vitamin E works in cooperation with selenium as a part of glutathione peroxidase. In addition, vitamin E is thought to play a role in cellular defense of free radicals by incorporating in cell membranes and preventing lipid peroxidation.
      • Vitamin C is important in helping to regenerate Vitamin E and other antioxidants to prevent free radical damage that can lead to tying up during intense exercise.

 

 


Un-Lock® is currently used by trainers for its dramatic effects on endurance, performance, and recovery time in their horses.

It Works!

 

 

Un-Lock® is a scientifically formulated, patent-pending nutritional supplement created with one goal in mind: to help horses train and perform at their best. When we were formulating Un-Lock®, we made sure to include only proven nutrients to improve performance, prevent cramping and tying up, maintain top speeds and improve recovery. When this happens horses obtain dramatic gains in endurance and performance.

EQ Royal® is a scientifically formulated, patent-pending nutritional horse performance and endurance supplement created with one goal in mind: to help performance horses train and perform at their best. When your horse is feeling good it can focus on training and compete at it’s peak levels.

EQ-Royal® safely stimulates your horse’s production of the hormone responsible for red blood cell production. This hormone increases red blood cell production in your horse. The red blood cells carry oxygen to the muscles. More red blood cells, more oxygen to the muscles. EQ Royal® also has been shown to improve muscle strength and improve your horse’s immune system.

The active ingredients in the patent-pending formula address the four major limitations on red blood cell production.

 Echinacea angustifolia is an herb that stimulates your horse’s immune system and your horse’s kidneys to make more of a natural hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells. Your horse will feel better and perform better with optimal blood levels.

Equine research has shown that not only does echinacea stimulate the immune system; it is also a blood building agent. Healthy horses that received the herb had higher levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin and white blood cells.

Red blood cells carry oxygen to muscle tissue, and the more oxygen there is, the harder a muscle can work. When you increase the number of red blood cells in your horse, you increase the amount of oxygen in the horse’s blood; this can dramatically improve your horse’s performance to optimal levels for competition.

A daily dose of EQ Royal® endurance horse supplement provides an extract of echinacea augustifolia in the amounts shown to significantly increase red blood cell production in horses. This research was published in a peer-reviewed veterinary journal.1

 

To help your horse produce more red blood cells, you have to feed it the right raw materials. That’s why our scientists developed a specific formula of vitamins and minerals that ensure an adequate supply of red blood cells and hemoglobin to provide oxygen to your horses muscles.

Here’s how certain vitamins and minerals can bolster red blood cell production:

Vitamin B-6 (Pyrodixine): A red blood cell is useless without hemoglobin. That’s because hemoglobin is the part of a red blood cell that oxygen attaches to. Research published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry 2,3,4discovered that vitamin B6 is essential for hemoglobin to form. In other words, if your horse does not get enough vitamin B6, the horse’s red blood cells can’t carry the oxygen your horse needs.

B-12 and Folic Acid: If your horse is deficient in either vitamin B12 or folic acid 5,6 new red blood cells are “born” misshapen and malfunctioning. This can actually make oxygen transport worse than before. That’s why your horse needs to get supplemental doses of both B12 5,6 and Folic Acid. Your horse’s red blood cells will become the hard-working oxygen carriers they are supposed to be.

Vitamin B-3: Here’s another vitamin that your horse needs in order to pump out new, healthy red blood cells. A daily dose of Vitamin B-37 helps your horse produce new red blood cells at a faster clip.

Boron: Boron might not get a lot of press, but it’s emerging as a mineral that can help your horse. Its beneficial effects stem from the fact that boron can naturally help your horse’s body make more red blood cells than it could without extra Boron 8.

Inositol: Your horse may be making more red blood cells, but it doesn’t mean that they’ll last. In fact, the lifespan of red blood cells is about 90 days. By taking Inositol 9,10 you’ll be creating stronger red blood cells – making them work longer for your horse.

 

 

 

In reality, oxygen doesn’t bind directly to the red blood cell – it binds to the iron in hemoglobin in the red blood cell. Therefore, your horse needs several sources of dietary iron to make functioning red blood cells.

Iron: Proper iron intake ensures that red blood cells properly carry oxygen around the body. It’s been shown in numerous research studies that iron deficiency impairs oxygen transport and athletic performance. In fact, iron11 isn’t an ingredient that’s merely optimal for enhancing endurance – it’s absolutely necessary.

Dandelion12 and Yellow Dock13: To get even more iron, it’s important for your horse to take these natural botanical extracts from two of the most iron-dense plants: dandelion and yellow dock. These two herbs ensure that your horse’s body gets enough iron for its brand new red blood cells.

Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, and Nickel: It’s one thing to take extra iron, but absorbing it from the gut is something else altogether. Believe it or not, but your horse’s body only absorbs about 10% of the iron that it eats. That is unless you supplement with vitamin C 14,15 vitamin B316 and Nickel 17 – a trio of nutrients that help your horse’s body absorb more of the iron that it consumes.

 

 

 

After a particularly tough workout or competition your horse’s body has taken a big hit. Its muscles are worn and torn, its energy reserves are depleted, and its joints are flaring up from stress and strain. Your horse’s body has one, and one way only, of dealing with all of this: inflammation.

Although inflammation is essential for recovery in small doses–unchecked inflammation makes recovering a real challenge. If you’ve ever had a period of time where your horse’s training suffered and it took forever to bounce back, it’s likely that inflammation was the culprit.

Worse yet, unchecked inflammation makes your horse’s body more prone to oxidation – a harmful process shown to get in the way of new muscle growth and adaptation to training. Not only that, but inflammation and oxidation can be roadblocks to new red blood cell development – causing a vicious cycle that slows your horse’s training.

Luckily, there are a handful of nutrients that are able to combat exercise-induced oxidation and inflammation; allowing your horse to move easier and increase your horse’s red blood cell production.

Alpha Lipoid Acid: ALA 18,19 fights both inflammation and oxidation.

Lutein: Lutein20 is one of the most powerful antioxidants. Lutein can effectively fight oxidation and inflammation all over your horse’s body.

Lycopene: Like Lutein, Lycopene21 has been intensely researched. Lycopene is found in tomatoes. It fights oxidation through a number of different pathways. This makes it a preferred antioxidant for performance horses.

Choline: Choline22 is an amazing antioxidant. Not only does it fight oxidative damage, but according to a study out of the University of Lisbon, it actually improves blood flow and nitric oxide (NO) production. In case you didn’t know, nitric oxide is one of the most important chemicals for improving muscle contraction and increasing blood flow to muscles.

PABA: Along with its trademark antioxidant properties, PABA23 is able to make blood vessels more fluid – helping blood (and oxygen) travel to your horse’s fatigued muscles.
