Need an advice

Hi Hassan,

All the products you have listed have only very minimal effects on the greyhounds metabolism, and therefore very minimal effects on the greyhounds performance. In fact there is every chance that pain at an injection site of one of these, or the side effect of making the greyhound feel bilious is going to do more harm than good.

However looking at each one individually

DADA 250 is listed as a vasodilator and therefore may increase the blood flow to the muscle tissue and may also have a detoxifying effect. It can only be used as an intramuscular injection, and never as an intravenous injection.
If there is to be any benefit from this injection, and that is far from certain, it’s best injected 24 hours prior and in a muscle least used, and for this the chest muscle may be the safest. The dosage being 1ml.

Tripart is a general pick me up and best used to aid recovery after strenuous exercise, however if it’s to be used as an aid to help a greyhound get through strenuous exercise with less strain on the body, the dose is 2ml subcutaneous 24 hours prior, and again as soon as practical after the run.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is of some benefit in transporting fatty acids into the muscle tissue to be used as energy for the muscle tissue, but because greyhounds produce explosive speed over short distances their muscle tissue uses ATP (adino tri phosphate) as an energy source and minimal fatty acids unless they are a slow early long distance stayer.
My advice here is that it’s used in the paste form, not the injection, and given orally twice weekly with the last dose the night before racing. If however the injectable form is to be used, it should be used as a very slow intravenously injection 4 hours prior to racing, and not as an intramuscular injection because intramuscular injections of this substance often cause pain in the muscle tissue at the injection site for up to 48 hours after an injection.

Foliphos contains phosphorus and B12 as well as Folic acid. The B12 and Folic acid having some benefit in helping to maintain the levels of red blood cells, and the phosphorus being used by the body to increase the level of ATP to be used as an energy source for the muscle tissue.

While that is the listed benefit, I personally have found the use of this injection of no real benefit to a greyhounds on track performances. However if it is to be used it’s best used as a subcutaneous injection of 2ml 24 hours prior to racing, as again its likely to cause pain at the injection site if used as an intramuscular injection.

Cheers,
Tom
