Protein Power

HorseFlex Protein Power is a feed for horses to support muscles and endurance. It is a protein based on peas and therefore completely natural and plant-based.

How does Protein Power work for my horse?

Protein Power is a plant-based protein powder extracted from peas. Pea protein has an extremely high protein content (85%) and is also easily absorbed by the body. In this way, Protein Power naturally contributes to the muscle building and muscle function of your horse and provides support when your horse has an extra high need for proteins.

Protein (proteins) for horses

Protein, also known as proteins, are important building blocks for a horse’s body. For example, proteins are involved in almost all vital processes in the horse’s body and a horse also needs proteins to form and function its muscles. A horse does not produce proteins itself and must therefore obtain them through food. For the most part, horses can obtain proteins from roughage. If roughage contains little protein or if your horse has an increased protein requirement, you can provide your horse with extra support with protein.

When does my horse need extra protein?

Proteins are important for every horse. However, not every horse has the same protein requirement. A horse of a sober breed, that is often in the pasture and is not trained much, can in many cases get enough protein from roughage. However, horses that are trained intensively, young horses that are growing and pregnant and lactating mares have an extra need for protein. In addition, the protein content in roughage can fluctuate enormously. For example, roughage can have a low protein content due to certain weather conditions, the period of mowing the grassland and the nutrients in the soil. In summary, your horse can benefit from extra protein in the following situations:

🌿 Young horses that are growing
🌿 Horses that are intensively trained
🌿 Pregnant and lactating mares
🌿 When the roughage you feed has a (too) low protein content
