Energy for dogs with the Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) Sporting dogs have special energy requirements The Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) optimally meets this energy requirement of dogs who needs to perform their best. The Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) has been developed specially for dogs used in endurance sports. Dogs in endurance sports require high-quality fats.  For performance dogs like sled dogs, dogs in Canicross or generally dog harness activities, a fat and carbohydrate-rich diet is of advantage. Here, the main source of energy is fat as it provides a long period of energy as a result of its energy conversion process. The combination makes the difference - Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) for dogs The Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) contains a unique combination of high-quality sources of fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and so-called ‘boosters’ like L-carnitine and L-arginine. The combination of the raw material used, guarantees a quick energy conversion at low feeding levels of the Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar). The Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) high energy density allows dogs to perform their best. Why is such a high energy density so important for sporting dogs?  To ensure that the dog is supplied with enough energy it would have to be fed dry food or other supplements like butter in large quantities. In addition, water is often added to dry food, which is then digested too quickly and thus some important nutrients cannot be absorbed. This is where the Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) optimally supports the energy supply through dry food like Bellfor Pur Active. Despite the relatively small feeding amount, the Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) provides a high calorie intake. We recommend Bellfor Fitness Pulver (Fitness Powder) for optimal and fast regeneration of dogs after training or competitions. How does Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) support performance dogs? After physical exertion, a sporting dog needs high-quality fat, minerals such a potassium and magnesium and, in small quantities, readily available carbohydrates. This is in contrast to dogs that need to perform their best but only briefly, e.g. greyhounds. The Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) contains L-carnitine and L-arginine to ensure that the required high-quality fats such as insect fats or cod liver oils are quickly available. This guarantees an optimal burning of fat and the dogs can keep performing their best. Nutritional supplement for sporting dogs in endurance sports Sled dogs Dogs doing Canicross Dogs doing agility Services dogs Hunting dogs Dogs doing general endurance sports The Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) is the optimal support for dogs involved in endurance sports  Like all our Bellfor products, the Bellfor Fitness Riegel (Fitness Bar) has been developed in collaboration with our vet, veterinarian practitioner and experienced, successful dog athletes. Insect fat contains highly concentrated essential fatty acids, including lauric acid. Many of those fatty acids are medium chain and therefore particularly easy and fast to digest. Therefore, the contained energy is quickly available for your dog. Salmon delivers high-quality Omega-3 fatty acids. Cod liver oil is a high-quality fat, which is enriched with vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E. The sweet potato is considered a nutrient-dense vegetable (according to CSPI). It contains many important vitamins and minerals such a magnesium. In addition, sweet potato contains special proteins which act as antioxidants. They are able to regulate blood glucose levels and have a low glycemic index which benefits dogs in endurance sports. Beetroot has some particularly important effects on the high performance dog. The nitrites it contains, improve oxygen utilization in the mitochondria, i.e. the power plant of cells. As a result, the body can use the available oxygen more effectively and relieve the lung. In addition, the blood sugar is reduced. Additionally, beetroot is also a high-quality vitamin and mineral nutrient supplier and characterized by a lot of potassium, iron and vitamin B. Honey: In a clinical study, scientists from the laboratory for sports nutrition at Memphis University (Tennessee) looked into the effect of honey compared with special carbohydrate solutions for athletes. According to this, honey is ideal because of its mild effect on blood sugar levels to increase the endurance before a workout or a competition. In contrast, special preparations with a high glycemic index (such as dextrose or maltodextrin) can make the body tired more quickly. L-carnitine is an amino acid compound which ensures that fatty acids are transported to the muscles for energy production. L-carnitine also promotes the regeneration of the muscles. L-arginine: Studies showed that cross-country skiers who took L-arginine, were able to increase their race times by up to 8% or test persons could significantly increase their maximum walking distance within 6 minutes. There are studies that have shown a longer staying power for intense, anaerobic exercise and a beneficial effect on the maximal oxygen uptake. We also recommend our Bellfor Fitness Pulver (Fitness Powder) and Gelenke & Knochen (Joint & Bones) Capsules for active dogs. Application: The feeding instructions help you with the correct use.
