Mitachondral Injection

Each mL contains:

• L-Carnitine 200 mg
• D-Phenylalanine 4 mg
• L-Isoleucine 5.33 mg

• MITACHONDRAL contains L-Carnitine, plus endorphin precursors.
• Use MITACHONDRAL as a pre-event treatment after regular supplementation with L-CARNITINE twice weekly.
• MITACHONDRAL helps reduce the perception of pain, delays lactic acid accumulation and muscle fatigue.

MITACHONDRAL supplies the amino acid L-CARNITINE in the same manner as L-CARNITINE injection and paste but has the added amino acids Phenylalanine and Isoleucine. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which inhibits the breakdown of opiate-like substances in the brain called encephalins. Reduced breakdown of encephalins by phenylalanine results in analgesia (Pain relief). Isoleucine is also involved in the production of endorphins. Phenyalanine is also anti-inflammatory and has been used in human patients to treat chronic pain.

L-Carnitine is essential for normal heart and skeletal muscle function. During hard exercise there is extensive loss of L-Carnitine and this often cannot be replaced adequately from the diet alone.

High levels of L-Carnitine are necessary, because L-Carnitine plays an essential role in muscle metabolism during exercise by forming the transport system which moves fatty acids into muscle cells for conversion into energy. L-Carnitine also inhibits the build-up of lactic acid in muscles, which helps delay fatigue in hard working muscles. Fatigue causes pain in muscles.

The level of L-Carnitine in muscles plays a major role in determining the exercise capacity of muscle. L-Carnitine supplementation improves both sprint and endurance performance.

L-Carnitine supplementation increases maximum work output, and is of value especially in horses which are prone to fatigue & Tying Up.

MITACHONDRAL is a combination of amino acids to enhance muscle endurance and enhance endorphin production in order to reduce pain perception.

Horses: 

• MITACHONDRAL is used most effectively at a dose rate of 15 – 25 mL by intramuscular (IM) injection in the 4 – 6 hour before strenuous exercise, as the added amino acids are not required regularly during training. 
• Give one dose the day prior, and 4 – 6 hours before hard exercise for best effect.
• Supplement with L-CARNITINE regularly 2 – 3 times weekly during training & racing. This may most appropriately be done using L-CARNITINE Paste.

Camels: 

• 10 mL for small camels: higayg, ligaya & iddah
• 20 mL for larger camels: thanayah, howl & gilesa
• Administer by intramuscular (IM) injection

AMP-5, TRIPART and COpHOS B have all been combined with MITACHONDRAL.

Users must adhere to local and racing regulations.
