Bectyl Oral Paste

WHAT IS BECTYL PASTE?

BECTYL is a unique paste supplement of key minerals B-group vitamins, vitamin E and citrate to help:

• Restore levels of electrolytes before and after travel
• Maintain appetite and vitality during competition
• Speed up recovery after exercise
• Buffer acid build-up during exercise

RECOMMENDED FOR

• Horses prior to, during and after travel
• Performance horses
• “Tucked-up” horses – showing signs of dehydration
• Horses in hot weather or experiencing a period of excessive stress
• Rehydration after illness or diarrhoea

WHY CHOOSE BECTYL PASTE?

• Restores electrolyte balance –  Loss of large amounts of electrolytes can lead to dehydration, fatigue and subsequent poor performance. BECTYL helps restore this balance.
• Scientifically balanced for rehydration and recovery –  Estimated sweat losses in performance horses can range from 10 L – 60 L per day. BECTYL helps to encourage drinking and provides key nutrients to restore fluid balance and aid in recovery.
• Functional ingredients –  BECTYL contains B-group vitamins to assist efficient utilisation of energy; citrate to help buffer against acid and vitamin E to mop up dangerous free radicals produced during exercise to prevent muscle soreness and fatigue.
• Convenient and palatable –  BECTYL’s apple-flavoured paste is conveniently packaged in a syringe, making it easy to take to shows/events or administer after racing.
