RACE BOOSTER PASTE    
Vitamin and mineral supplement for mature horses in support of Adrenal Gland Function

FEATURES

• 2000mg Adrenal Cortex / tube

SPECIAL INGREDIENTS

dac® Race Booster Paste provides a concentrated source of adrenal cortex.

The adrenal cortex produces a number of different corticosteroid hormones. Mineralocorticoids, Glucocorticoids, and Androgens.

The primary mineralocorticoid is aldosterone. Aldosterone is secreted in response to high extracellular potassium levels, low extracellular sodium levels, and low fluid levels and blood volume. Aldosterone affects metabolism in different ways: It increases urinary excretion of potassium ions, It increases interstitial levels of sodium ions, It increases water retention and blood volume.

The primary glucocorticoid released by the adrenal gland in the human is cortisol and corticosterone. Its secretion is regulated by the hormone ACTH from the anterior pituitary. Upon binding to its target, cortisol enhances metabolism in several ways: It stimulates the release of amino acids from the body. It stimulates lipolysis, the breakdown of fat. It stimulates gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose from newly-released amino acids and lipids. It increases blood glucose levels in response to stress, by inhibiting glucose uptake into muscle and fat cells. It strengthens cardiac muscle contractions. It increases water retention. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.

One important androgen is Testosterone: a hormone with a wide variety of effects, ranging from enhancing muscle mass and stimulation of cell growth to the development of the secondary sex characteristics.

Supplementing with adrenal cortex may increase energy and stamina
