Stiefel Rice Germ Oil - for performance and building muscle Subscription
Stiefel Rice Germ Oil can support muscle development with the natural gamma oryzanol it contains and contribute to improvement of the horse"s motivation. This neutrally tasting oil is also rich in essential fatty acids and natural vitamin E. The horse cannot produce essential fatty acids itself and so these have to be absorbed from its feed. Vitamin E can prevent the formation of oxygen radicals and thus have an antioxidant effect. Vitamin E is likewise important for muscle metabolism and can support and promote the regeneration of the muscle cells after exertion. Stiefel Rice Germ OIl is suitable for enhancing the daily feed ration for sport and performance horses, but can also be used on horses that are poor eaters.

Muscle Building Supplements: Strength and Substance for Your Horse
A strong, healthy muscular corset is essential for the horse to carry the rider's weight without discomfort and remain ready to perform. But training alone is often not enough. With a high-quality muscle building supplement, you provide the body with the exact building blocks it needs to form new muscle cells. Preparations with essential amino acids (such as lysine, methionine, and threonine), vitamin E, and plant-based protein sources like spirulina algae promote healthy muscle growth, prevent tension, and accelerate the recovery phase after work. This ensures you have a supple, powerful horse that does not lose substance even under high athletic demands.
Essential Amino Acids as the Key
Muscles consist of proteins, and proteins consist of amino acids. Some of these amino acids are essential – meaning the horse's body cannot produce them itself but must absorb them through feed. If even one essential amino acid is missing in the daily hay ration (which is often the case with late-cut hay), muscle building stops, even with the best training. A targeted supplement fills exactly these limiting gaps.
Muscle Protection Through Antioxidants
Where muscles work, waste products and free radicals are created. If these are not removed, it leads to muscle soreness, stiffness, or, in the worst case, tying-up (myopathy). Vitamin E and selenium act as strong antioxidants: they protect the cell walls of the muscles from oxidative stress and make the muscle tissue supple and resilient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do supplements build muscle without training?
No! A common misconception is that feed alone makes the horse more muscular. Muscles only grow through a targeted training stimulus (tension and relaxation). The supplement merely provides the body with the necessary building material to convert this training stimulus into new muscle mass.
Is muscle building feed suitable for young horses?
Yes, absolutely. Especially young growing horses or those just being backed have a greatly increased need for high-quality proteins and amino acids. A suitable supplement helps them to physically process the new load under the saddle well and not lose substance.
Why is rice bran oil often recommended for muscle building?
In addition to a lot of energy, rice bran oil also contains gamma-oryzanol. This completely natural plant substance has been proven to support muscle metabolism and promote willingness to perform without making the horse nervous.
High-Quality Proteins and Amino Acids for Sports
Without the right building material, the body cannot form new muscle mass. If the hay does not provide enough protein or the horse is heavily challenged in training, muscle building falters. The horse loses its topline, looks sunken, or suffers from muscle soreness. To prevent this, we offer you highly effective supplements that directly support your horse's muscle metabolism.
Discover preparations in our range with the essential amino acids lysine, methionine, and threonine, which serve as direct building materials for the muscle cell. Additionally, protect the muscles from over-acidification and stiffness after riding with high-dose vitamin E and selenium. Whether spirulina algae, rice bran oil, or concentrated amino acid powders – give your horse the nutrients it needs for a supple and powerful movement.
