GuanAMINO®: How creatine boosts your animal performance
Modern animal genetics offer a high growth potential for animals. These outstanding animal performances have to be supported by an optimized energy availability. Creatine is known to play one of the most important roles in cellular energy metabolism by acting as a back-up for the ATP regeneration.
Nowadays, creatine levels in feed are marginal either due to usage of “all-veggie” diets or heat-treated feeds. Guanidinoacetic acid (GuanAMINO®) is the only metabolic precursor of creatine and can ensure sufficient creatine levels for maximum animal performance.
