Lactic acid build up in muscle during any type of fast exercise, or sustained jumping eventually leads horses to tire. STORM helps to slow the process of fatigue by supporting the natural ability of muscle to buffer lactic acid build up.

STORM is founded on science

STORM is supported by robust published scientific research carried out in both horses and humans. Unlike some feed supplements, the active ingredients in STORM have been shown to be absorbed from the digestive tract.

A natural component of the diet

STORM combines active ingredients that can be found naturally in the horse's diet. For example, beta-alanine forms part of the B-vitamin pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which is found in both cereals and forages alike. Enhanced supplementation and improved absorption is needed to efficiently support muscle buffering during exercise.

Protected by patents

The scientific research that underpins the action of STORM was carried out in horses by British scientists, and their work led to a series of studies in humans, providing a weight of evidence for its use as a sports supplement for horses. STORM is the only supplement for horses that contains patented beta-alanine, which is protected by global patents covering its use in horses, humans and other species.

What is STORM?

A feed supplement that helps horses deal with lactic acid produced in muscle during intense exercise. STORM® helps boost lactic acid buffering in muscle by supporting the synthesis of a mini protein or ‘dipeptide’ called carnosine.

How much STORM do I need to feed per day?

STORM needs to be fed at a rate of 30g per day, ideally split into 15g x 2 feeds. A scoop that delivers 15g is provided in each bucket. A horse would require ~ 1kg of STORM per month.

For how long do I need to feed STORM?

For a sustained effect STORM® needs to be fed daily throughout the race or competition season and ideally 1-3 months before the season starts.

Will my horse benefit from STORM?

Yes, if your horse needs to accelerate quickly, maintain high speed and/or produced sudden bursts of power for jumping during exercise. Intense exercise leads to the build up of lactic acid in muscle, which contributes to horses tiring. If muscle lactic acid is buffered more efficiently, fatigue can be delayed and top speed can be maintained for longer. STORM is suitable for racehorses, eventers, polo ponies, showjumpers and endurance horses.

How do I know that STORM is effective?

STORM is supported by published scientific research in horses and a wealth of studies in humans. You can visit the downloads page on the STORM website to view some of these articles.
