TAIPAN is a supplement to support muscle function and recovery during training and strenuous exercise. TAIPAN is a blend of essential co-factors to ensure that muscle metabolism is optimised, and that energy supply to muscles is adequate, to reduce the risk of lactic acidosis, muscle fatigue and Tying Up. Provision of essential co-factors and nutrients at the correct time, and in the correct amounts, reduces the risk of muscle damage and decreased performance.

Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide in  mammalian tissues, with antioxidant and  immunopotentiating properties.1 Carnosine is a  physiological antioxidant and may be effective as an  anti-inflammatory and as an aid in wound healing.1  Carnosine is present in high concentrations in muscle  tissue, in both humans1 and horses.2 Carnosine is  the most important buffer in equine skeletal muscle.2 Supplementing muscle buffers may have a positive  effect on athletic performance.1 Carnosine is a  recommended supplement for human athletes  and has been used in equine athletes.  

There are no registered forms of carnosine supplement  available for horses and there is a demand for this  product. There is no claim being made for this product  other than as a carnosine supplement. 

Nicotinamide is essential in increasing the use of  glycogen for energy, and arginine acts as a vehicle for  transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen. 

Lysine is very important in muscle repair. Vitamin B12  is essential for red blood cell turnover. 

Magnesium and potassium aspartates are used in the  treatment of fatigue and exhaustion in humans, and of  the sodium/potassium imbalance which accompanies  these fatigue states. 

Administer by slow intravenous injection.  

Horses: 5 mL per 100 kg bodyweight. 

Administer once weekly or as directed by a veterinary surgeon.
