Understanding the Clean Sports Act and Its Impact on Horse Supplements

The Clean Sports Act aims to uphold the integrity of competition in both the racing and sport horse industries. At Excel Supplements, we are dedicated to supporting this commitment by providing transparency and high-quality products to our clients. Here's what you need to know about our approach:

Commitment to Clean Ingredients

Excel Supplements ensures that all our products, including the Excel ProElite supplement, meet the highest standards of quality. To demonstrate this commitment, we conduct rigorous testing of our products. We have collected blood samples from two horses that have been receiving 2-4 ounces of Excel ProElite daily for over a month. These samples are sent to the Center for TOX Services, Inc., a testing laboratory in Tempe, AZ, which is ISO 17025 accredited by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium. The results of these tests are published on our website for full transparency.

Ensuring Purity in Every Step

We take great care to maintain the purity of our supplements. Excel Supplements sources oil seeds directly from our trusted farms, and our oils are processed in facilities that are free from contamination by any prohibited substances. Our strict quality control measures ensure that our oil is safe for use at any level of competition.

Addressing Contamination Risks

Contamination in feed and supplements can pose significant risks. For example, a single contaminated ingredient can lead to major recalls, as seen with Purina. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, Purina experienced a recall due to aflatoxin contamination in one ingredient. Aflatoxins, produced by certain fungi, can cause liver damage in high doses. Our meticulous testing and quality control processes are designed to prevent such issues and ensure that our products are free from contaminants.

Have Questions?

If you have any questions about our testing procedures or product quality, please contact our veterinarian, Dr. Julie Vargas, at DrJulie@ExcelSupplements.com. We are here to ensure your confidence in our products and support the health and performance of your horses.

By adhering to the Clean Sports Act and maintaining the highest standards of quality, Excel Supplements is dedicated to providing clean, effective supplements for every competitive athlete.
