BLACK POWdER

An optimum supply of minerals and trace elements

Acidosis in the muscles and body can easily occur if the feed is unbalanced or of the wrong type. It can also result from stress, in particular, severe physical stress, such as is commonplace in racing, and also from a deficient oxygen supply to the muscle cells.

Symptoms vary from light fatigue and a small drop in performance to serious performance deficiencies.

Attaining and maintaining a good acid-alkaline balance is important for a well-functioning metabolism.

Not only do BLACK POWdER and DOG ACTIVE contain a high concentration of immediately bioavailable amino acids in balanced proportions but they also contain a balanced combination of alkaline minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium and other micronutrients, as well as important vitamins.

Another important ingredient is organically-bound iron(II) or Fe2+, which, again, is not added artificially, but is already present in its natural state. Iron(II) is essential for the cell metabolism and plays an important role in the production of red blood corpuscles. These are well-known as the blood’s oxygen transporters. Furthermore, the improved, oxygen-rich blood circulation has the effect of countering acidosis in the muscles and body.

On the other hand, synthetically manufactured, non-organically-bound, so-called “free” iron(III) is not able to bond with oxygen, since oxygen itself has a valency of 2. An organism first needs to convert iron(III) to iron(II), which is able to bond with oxygen, before it is able to pass through the wall of the intestine. Not only does this process require time and energy but it only utilises around 5% of the free iron.

The organic iron(II) contained in BLACK POWdER and DOG ACTIVE is immediately bioavailable and able to bond with oxygen. The rate of resorption by the organism is 99.9%.
