Inosine - Feed Ingredient

Inosine is a purine nucleoside formed by the breakdown of adenosine, composed of the base hypoxanthine attached to a ribose sugar. It occurs naturally in cells and plays a role in purine metabolism and energy-related pathways.

In equine supplements, inosine may be included for its potential role in supporting energy metabolism and nucleic acid synthesis. It has been studied in other species for possible effects on exercise recovery and cellular repair, although its use and benefits in horses are not well established.
