Re: [RC] BC2A - rides2far

Where would one look for BC2A?
Sherry Brunkhardt


I just put BC2A into Google and their website came up. Barney Flemming
sells it apparently. The claims on the site are:

Reduces lactic acid levels by up to 50% 
reduces heart rate during training by up to 15% 
Spares effects of associated trauma from exertion 
Enhances skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise training 
Provides preferential supply to the body's buffering system 

Plenty of stuff on there about it helping avoid tying up.

As for my horse, he eats well, no sign of tying up or cramping, has never
looked stiff after a ride, isn't heavily muscled. Trains on hills. I
wouldn't mind trying to give him a little help handling the effort of his
first 100 if it was available in a tube, but have no interest in throwing
money away. We won't be going for speed. I don't feed any other
additives. He gets grain, hay and a salt block, home made electrolytes
only during competition. I'm a minimalist but if somebody can prove to me
it makes a real difference in reducing "the burn" during competition, I'd
be interested, but at $10 per tube, I highly doubt it would become a
habit with me.
