The Carnosine
Edge for Horses
Fortigo — the patented topical carnosine gel designed specifically for sport horses, companions, and seniors. FEI & USEF compliant. Competition safe.
Equine carnosine — finally delivered
Horses are naturally high-carnosine athletes. Their Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibres contain some of the highest carnosine concentrations of any species — it's fundamental to their explosive performance capacity.
Fortigo delivers additional carnosine directly to equine muscle tissue via the same patented topical delivery technology used in LactiGo for humans. Formulated specifically for equine skin and physiology, Fortigo contains no prohibited substances and is FEI and USEF compliant.
