COPHOS B is a muscle buffer and muscle energy support supplement for horses in hard work.
COPHOS B supplies readily available, energy rich phosphate which is essential to muscle function and to buffer excessive lactic acid in body systems. In addition, COPHOS B provides Vitamin B 12 to essential metabolic processes, and to maintain appetite. Phosphate is the major body buffer.
Hard physical exercise produces very large losses of muscle phosphate, in both aerobic and anaerobic work. The body cannot make phosphate, so the diet must provide all requirements. Phosphate is essential to buffer lactic acid produced during hard work, as well as in the formation of adequate glycogen to fuel physical activity, and in the conversion of glycogen to produce fuel for muscles. Finally phosphate is critical in allowing oxygen to be “dumped” from blood cells into the muscle fibres where it fuels muscle contractions. Supplementing with phosphate supplies adequate essential phosphate required in large amounts during exercise, and allows more efficient recovery. As a major body buffer phosphate lowers the lactic acid level in working muscles by helping maintain plasma pH within normal limits, which delays acidosis and muscle fatigue. Used regularly during training and work COPHOS B improves muscular efficiency and endurance and improves recovery after hard work.
To improve energy and oxygen supply to muscles, increase maximum oxygen uptake and power output, delay onset of fatigue and promote muscle recovery in performance horses.
Injection: Horses and Dogs: 1mL per 15kg bodyweight by intramuscular injection twice weekly, or as directed by vet.
COpHOS B is most effective when given within 4 - 6 hours of anticipated hard work.
100 mL sterile injection for intramuscular (or intravenous injection under veterinary supervision).
Injection: Store below 25°C (Air Conditioning).
For General Sale (APVMA 51121 [Injection])
Export Slaughter Interval (Horses): Nil
COpHOS B is commonly used in combination with AMP-5, and CREATINE, to improve work output, and VAM to improve recovery after hard work or to stimulate appetite is stressed animals.
