Kohnkes Own MUSCLE XL®

Concentrated Supplement to Build Top-Line, Muscle Strength and Tone.
Muscle XL® is the ultimate top-line builder, providing the essential proteins and amino acids required to build and maintain muscle tone.

Our scientifically formulated Muscle XL® supplement is extremely effective and was created specifically to help the muscle tone, top-line and fitness of horses in a short amount of time.

Although consistent and targeted work is essential for full top-line development, the concentrated, superior nutrients in Muscle XL® work quickly to build and strengthen lean muscle plus optimise the recovery process after exercise.

Muscle XL® consistently delivers outstanding results and is particularly popular in the preparation of young horses for sale and for rehabilitation of horses with poor muscle development.  

Muscle XL® contains concentrated ingredients often lacking in a horse’s regular diet that specifically build muscle. It is ideal for horses who lack top-line despite consistent work, recover poorly or are struggling to regain muscle bulk and fitness after a spell, rest or injury.

Muscle XL® is suitable for horses of all ages and levels of training and does not cause hot or fizzy behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Muscle XL benefit racing and competition horses?

Muscle XL can be used as a long term daily supplement for horses with increased needs when muscles are under stress of intense performance, such as endurance horses, racehorses or high performance equestrian horses. For these horses, Muscle XL is an excellent daily supplement during the competition season, to ensure optimum muscle function, strength and stamina is maintained, even on premium feeds with added lysine or protein. Muscle XL also has nutrients for targeted muscle recovery, such as vitamin E and MSM, so that hard training or regular competition does not affect muscle stamina or decrease muscle strength over time.

Can Muscle XL assist recovery from hard exercise and fatigue?

Yes. Muscle XL continues to be used successfully for the recovery of tired or depleted muscles after exercise and its use is recommended to help muscle recovery after strains and metabolic-induced muscle damage from severe tying-up or physical exhaustion. 

How can Muscle XL help during rehabilitation from injury.

Some horses need extra support to build up and strengthen muscles when suffering from lower back pain, sacroiliac strain, lower back lameness, severe ‘tying up’ or other injuries requiring extensive rest and rehabilitation. Muscle XL is a popular supportive supplement for muscle health and function in horses which have suffered a muscle strain or injury which respond to improved muscle tone and strengthening of back and limb muscles. Muscle XL can also help build up muscle strength to support long term weakness or related soundness issues.

How long before is see results?

Normally, initial results will be seen in 5-7 days, although individual results may vary, particularly if the horse is severely lacking in muscle tone. Working the horse at a light to moderate level to ensure the muscles are warm, before giving Muscle XL as a targeted supplement will also ensure that the benefits of Muscle XL are visible within this short timeframe.

How do i get the best results?

Best results will be obtained with regular exercise, especially if Muscle XL is given within 15 minutes after exercise when the muscles are warm and ready to absorb the ‘muscle food’ provided by Muscle XL.
Muscle XL can also be mixed into a paste with an equal volume of water and supplemented over the tongue in an oral dosing syringe.

When should i give MuscleXL?

Muscle XL is normally given as a daily course until the desired muscle development and top-line is achieved, normally daily for 14 – 30 days. Then you can give Muscle XL as required to maintain muscle bulk, usually as a top-up course for 5 – 7 days each month or after hard exercise or competition. 
Muscle XL is designed to be given as a targeted supplement after work when the muscles are warm and ready to take up the ‘food’ that Muscle XL provides. However, even a light hand walk or stretching exercises is enough to reap the quick and easy benefits to build and tone muscles.

Will Muscle XL make my horses fat or fizzy?

No. Muscle XL has a specific blend of protein and amino acids with no fillers or other nutrients which could cause weight gain. Muscle XL can be combined with many types of diets. Often feeds promoting ‘muscle building’ have high energy, added fat, non-specific protein or sugar, creating a f izzy horse with risk of fatty deposits. In many cases, horse owners find that they can reduce the amount of expensive “high performance” feeds with supplementation of Muscle XL to help build top-line and maintain muscle tone.

Is there any science behind Muscle XL?

Yes. Muscle XL delivers pure anti-oxidants, highly potent BCAA's and synergistic ingredients in their purest form. This extensively trialed and proven successful formula encourages the conversion of protein to muscle fibres. This gives Muscle XL optimum ability to generate lean muscle mass. The additional high potency muscle antioxidants assist muscles fatigued by intense exercise.

Is MUSCLE XL suitable for all ages of horses?

Yes. Muscle XL has many uses, for example, to help older horses with age-related muscle weakness or muscle wastage.

Willl Muscle XL help my horses topline?

Yes. Many horses lack the necessary high quality protein and particularly, essential branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), in their regular diet to adequately build muscles and strengthen their top-line. These horses may look underprepared, lack stamina or recover poorly after hard work. Owners may also find it difficult to rebuild and maintain muscle bulk and regain strength in a horse after a spell, rest, injury or following an increase in the training level.
Muscle XL quickly and easily builds muscle in horses lacking adequate top-line and muscle tone. This is especially important in competition horses for optimum fitness, strength and stamina. Muscle XL is also highly beneficial for quickly building good muscle on young horses, particularly yearlings or horses for sale, horses in early training or returning to work after a spell or injury. Muscle XL is also very useful for older horses which lack muscle mass from reduced digestive efficiency, or in lightly worked horses to generate a nicely muscled presentation, without excess fat or fizzy energy.

Pack Sizes and Days Supply

Customer comments

  • “Thank you John and the team for your amazing products and advice. Being a harness racing trainer I use many of your products, but one of the best on the market is the Muscle XL. The horse pictured had a very sore back, but within 6 weeks on Muscle XL he built top line and strength and has been placed in his last 12 starts. He is a much happier horse. Your sacroiliac exercises and advice have also helped him a lot. Kate A. (VIC)

    I just wanted to thank you for your fantastic products that I have used religiously for the past couple of years since buying my horse S.L.M Signature. Muscle XL has helped Benny build up his top-line and maintain a good shape for the show ring. He is winning and shining in the hack ring up to Royal show and making all my dreams come true. Angela M (NSW)
