LET THE GAINS BEGIN!

Whether it's for preparation for a show, to prepare a youngster for sale, to provide daily strength to your working horse or muscle building for improved performance our customers have already been enjoying the results they've seen with Hercules.

Support Muscle Growth from BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids): Just like in human nutrition, BCAAs are used for muscle building. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and protein is the building block for muscle.

Support Muscle Repair from Ready Assimilated Antioxidants: After exercise, muscle cells will be more or less damaged depending on the horse's ability to manage the free radicals induced by exercise. In order to protect muscle cells from this phenomenon, known as oxidative stress, and for enhanced recovery, horses have two kinds of anti-radical defence mechanisms: enzymatic and nutritional, through the antioxidant intake.

Muscle Support from Purpose Minerals: A blend of vitamins, trace minerals and antioxidants at optimal levels available to be absorbed as quickly and as effectively as possible via our readily assimilated liquid blend.

PROBLEM | SOLUTION 
Generally, muscle builders are high in sugars & calories, typically due to a high molasses content to make the product palatable for your horse. Unfortunately, this means that horses who are sensitive to sugars (maybe horses with laminitis or those who simply don't need them) couldn't benefit from a muscle support.

With HERCULES it was really important for us to solve this problem. Muscle support doesn't need to be highly fizzy and highly fattening! HERCULES has zero added sugars, zero mollasses and yet, is still highly palatable! We are yet to find a horse that won't happily eat it.

"I sent my boy on loan to a family but after just 6 weeks, he came back emaciated. Since he came back to me in March, I have put him on the amazing Hercules and the transformation is amazing, not only that but he is healthy enough to do light schooling, we are entering our first intro test this month and I couldn’t be happier. My physio said it’s the best he has ever felt and looked, all thanks to you." - Molly Bean

"This is Daisy after just six weeks on gains! The product is amazing, and combined with a conditioning mix, has really helped her put on the weight she lost moving yards. Absolutely recommend this product – 5 stars!" - Kate Moore

PATCH 

"Results speak for themselves...these two photos were taken just over 2 months apart from Patch being on HERCULES. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. My ex-racehorse feels and looks like a million dollars and it's all thanks to NEIGHKED" - Abigail Jones @abfab_91

"I’m really not a supplement user, I’ve run a yard for 13 years and never found ones I’ve really believed made a difference.. but my friend had gone on about your products so I thought I’d give it a try as this horse needed all the help he could get with his rain scald and weight!" - Serena James

"Think the product has definitely helped as this is only 1 month of use. She’s on the right track and looking forward to seeing the difference that the next bottle makes!" - Chesni Boulton

"Definitely not as hippy! She struggles in the winter into Spring to keep weight on and this definitely has helped her bulk up, I will put her on it next Winter for sure!" - Candice Hicks

"I am absolutely delighted. He is a completely different horse. These pictures were about 3 months apart." - Charlie Jordan

"These are the results photos from my mare being on HERCULES for 10 weeks. She is 10 weeks post kissing spine op (DSP removal) where she had three processes removed.
I have only done carrot stretches, short walks and small paddock turn out with her and these are the results!
I’m happy for these to be used in any marketing, especially to reach out to all of those struggling to put muscle back on their horses after a traumatic few months after DSP surgery. I wish everyone was recommended this afterwards!" - Charlotte Rosier

"My normally good ‘doer’ warmblood gelding did not fair as well this winter despite good care/food/turnout and exercise. I must admit I was very worried about the decline in his condition and nothing else seemed to work. I started using Hercules as directed and in just over a month he was looking so much better - I had got my horse back. So relieved. A great product.”
- Clare Whelan

"I got my horse last November, and he was lacking in muscle and general condition. After a few months with him, I found Hercules, and it has completely transformed him in 4 short months! He is feeling stronger and stronger every day, and I now also use Buck Off, which has focused him on me without losing any of his spark! He is jumping better than ever. I would recommend it to anyone!" - Lucy Biswell

"5* for this product. Our equine sports massage therapist recommended that I fed something to help with muscle quality. My mare didn’t really need to put on bulk muscle but she had some areas under her saddle that were underdeveloped possibly because of poor fitting saddle at some point that needed to ‘rebuild’ plus her general muscles were all getting tight quickly between treatments. After 6 weeks on this, her back muscles are really improving and her general muscle health is better, our therapist can really feel a difference and her muscles recover so much quicker." - Rebecca Tilton

"I started using Hercules for my very late developing tall 6yo homebred, I'm not a fan of mixing and changing feed products it can get very complicated when trying to balance ratios, so I decided to give Hercules a try, it's a very simple product very easy to use with no complications the results in the first week was phenomenal, by the 4th week she was a different horse and not only looking better but developing much better muscle tone and quality enabling her to now perform better under saddle in flat and jumping increasing her confidence, every time she goes out to clinics instructors comment on how she's a different horse every time in looks and ability, I cannot express enough what Hercules has done for Bunny and I, and I'll continue to use the product with a huge smile on my face." - Sam Aubrey

"We were looking into supplements to help Bunny gain some muscle. My daughter had been doing lots of hacking to try to build her up, but there was little difference. I love Neighked horse products as I use lots of them anyway, so when I saw the reviews for Hercules, I thought it was worth a try! It has helped a great deal, and we noticed a difference in just 4 weeks."
- Sarah Recchia

KEY INGREDIENTS

Methionine: Methionine is an essential amino acid required in your horse’s diet because it cannot be made in the body. Amino acids are the molecular building blocks of proteins. Proteins are the building blocks for muscles.

Every protein starts with the amino acid methionine. The first part of each gene tells the cell to start assembling the protein beginning with methionine..

Lysine: Lysine is typically considered the first rate-limiting amino acid in equine diets. It is the amino acid that is most commonly deficient to the point of limiting protein synthesis in the horse.

Roles:

  • Is converted to carnitine, a vitamin-like compound that supports key enzymes involved in breaking down fat for energy.
  • Has been seen to increase calcium levels in the body by increasing calcium absorption and minimizing calcium loss in urine.
  • Is involved in making collagen and elastin, important proteins found in high levels in the skin and connective tissue including tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
  • Lysine is a critical component of the muscle proteins actin and myosin that interact to facilitate muscle contraction.

Selenium: Selenium (Se) is an antioxidant mineral that is necessary for the horse’s diet. Horses derive selenium by consuming hay or grasses that grow in soils that contain this trace mineral. However, if you live in a region with low selenium levels in the soil, your horse’s forage may be deficient in this essential mineral.

Not getting enough selenium in the diet can contribute to a wide range of health problems for your equine companion. It can impair muscle function, heart health, immune function, growth and energy levels in your horse.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E (antioxidant) is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an important antioxidant for horses. It helps maintain a healthy immune system and supports normal nerve and muscle function. Horses need vitamin E in their diet because they cannot synthesize it endogenously in their body. Vitamin E deficiency in horses can cause them to be more likely to tie up after exercise. They might be sick with frequent coughs and colds and recover slowly.

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 (antioxidant), also known as Cobalamin is a water-soluble vitamin with important roles in the nervous system and liver. It is involved in energy metabolism and red blood cell formation. The horse needs cobalamin to ensure the normal production of red blood cells in bone marrow, to maintain a healthy reproductive system and to support the myelination of nerves.

Vitamin B12 is also involved in the metabolism of fats and amino acids for energy. This vitamin is said to improve physical stamina and stimulate appetite in horses.

Niacin: Vitamin B3 (antioxidant), also known as niacin, supports healthy digestion and skin. Proper digestive functions enable your horse to process nutrients from his feed, maximizing the energy he acquires so he can perform his best. Niacin is most well known for its ability to increase blood flow and improve circulation.

WHY IS HERCULES A LIQUID?

A liquid form is readily assimilated and therefore is quickly absorbed in the tissues of your horse’s mouth and throat. Powdered or pill forms must go through the entire equine digestive tract, breaking down the delicate molecules and taking far longer for any remaining available amino acids to reach the muscles.

Just like when a human works out, he/she should consume high-protein as quickly as possible post-workout if they intend to build muscle.

WILL THIS FIZZ MY HORSE?

No. Whilst a lot of muscle builders require some form of sugar-coating to make them palatable for the horses, HERCULES has no added sugars. And we're yet to find a horse or pony that won't eat HERCULES.

MY HORSE IS PRONE TO LAMINITIS, CAN HE USE IT SAFELY?

Whilst a lot of muscle builders require some form of sugar-coating to make them palatable for the horses, HERCULES has no added sugars making it suitable for laminitic equines.

LIQUID VS POWDERS

 

Based on clinical studies, not all the vitamins that you take are absorbed. It is the same for horses too, a lot of the vitamins we feed them end up going to your muck heap!

Liquid vitamins show an absorption rate of 98% while powders/capsules/solids can range from only 3 to 30%.

The National Advisory Board states that 100mg consumed in a solid form (tablet/capsule/powder) translates into a concentrate of only 8.3mg or 8.3% in the blood. Not only are liquids more efficiently absorbed, but they are also absorbed faster as they're readily assimilated. (PH Bennett, S Haffner, BL Kasiske, WF Keane, CE, National Advisory Board, - Am J Kidney Dis, 1995)

The Physician's Desk Reference states that 85-90% of nutrients in a liquid supplement are absorbed in 22-30 seconds.
Physician's Desk Reference (page 1542, #49)

You see, it's not just about 'what's in' your supplements, but it's how they're going to be used!
