Check out the Product Training Guide to see what gives ePro® its Protein Power performance!

It is essential to understand the specific protein and energy requirements of your horse in order to achieve the best results from your equestrian training program.  The nutritional requirements of the equine athlete vary hugely with the type and intensity of work being performed however, regardless of the type of work, the biggest factor affecting sound muscle development, healthy nerve function and coat and body conditioning is the type and quality of protein that your horse is receiving from his diet.

Protein is made up of 20 different essential amino acids; these are the building blocks of healthy muscle and connective tissue.  Increased protein intake in performance horses will support muscle development, reduce muscle damage, support joints and connective tissue and increase recovery rate.

During growth, low protein intake can be detrimental to bone development as it lowers the production of hormones essential for bone formation.  The majority of skeletal growth and development occurs between 0 and 24 months of age, therefore high quality protein in the diet of young, growing horses is essential to ensure the strong and correct skeletal development required for agility, speed and endurance in performance horses.

Although protein requirements are highest in young, growing horses, pregnant and lactating mares and racing horses, all horses require a good source of high quality protein.  Diets that are rich in starch (energy) but low in protein and minerals may cause obesity, insulin resistance, unsoundness, low milk production in lactating mares and stunted growth.

Dietary protein for horses is usually supplied in the form of sunflower oil, linseed oil, Soybean meal, Copra meal and skim milk powder.  While all of these are good sources of protein they do not contain all the essential amino acids required for optimum muscle development.  

So, what makes ePro® Equine Professional Protein Power so different? ePro® Equine Professional conditioning products are made using human grade whey protein concentrate and isolate.  The protein sourced from whey protein is:

• Naturally complete protein and has the ideal combination of amino acids to help improve body composition and enhance athletic performance.
• Rich source of branched chain amino acids, the first amino acids used during exercise.
• Excellent source of the essential amino acid Leucine which is integral to muscle growth.
• Easily digested and efficiently absorbed by the body.
• Highly palatable and cost effective.
