DMG 100ML Injection

DMG injection is an injectable dimethylglycine supplement, containing 100 mg/mL of dimethyl glycine hydrochloride, used to improve oxygen utilisation and reduce lactic acid formation in performance horses and racing camels. Manufactured by Ceva, this product supplies a naturally occurring nutrient that helps athletic animals generate more energy per molecule of oxygen consumed, supporting stamina, circulation, and faster recovery after hard work.

Key benefits of DMG:

• Improved oxygen utilisation — supports more efficient use of oxygen during exercise.
• Reduced lactic acid accumulation — helps delay the muscle fatigue linked to rising lactate.
• Enhanced energy supply — associated with increased glycogen, creatine phosphate, phospholipid and total lipid content in cardiac and skeletal muscle.
• Better circulation and tolerance to low oxygen — supports working tissues under heavy demand.
• Faster recovery — used after racing and hard training to support recovery in horses and camels.
• Antioxidant category — Ceva classifies DMG among its antioxidant performance supplements.

What is the active ingredient in DMG injection?

Each millilitre contains 100 mg of dimethyl glycine hydrochloride (dimethylglycine, DMG), a naturally occurring nutrient. It is supplied as a 100 mL sterile glass multidose vial.

What is DMG injection used for?

DMG injection is given to performance and racing animals to help improve oxygen utilization and reduce the build-up of lactic acid in working muscles. Increases the body’s tolerance to low oxygen, increases oxygen uptake by tissues, improves circulation, and supports a glycogen-sparing effect that helps delay fatigue. By transporting oxygen for ATP (energy) production in muscle tissue, used to enhance energy supply, sustain endurance during demanding exercise, and improve recovery after racing or strenuous training. Studies in horses and greyhounds have reported improvements in stamina, endurance, and recovery after hard physical exercise. The product is listed among equine performance supplements on Ceva’s official DMG Injection page.

How is DMG injection given to horses and camels?

Always give this product by intravenous (IV) injection and follow the manufacturer’s label and your veterinarian’s directions.

• Horses: 15 mL per 500 kg horse daily for 3 days prior to strenuous exercise, or as directed by a veterinary surgeon.
• Camels — Higayg and Ligaya (~250 kg): 5–10 mL by IV injection.
• Camels — Howl and Zamool (~400 kg): 10–20 mL by IV injection, given 24 hours before training days, and 24 and 48 hours before a race or Big Tahfeem.
• Camel recovery: give 6 and 24 hours after a race or Big Tahfeem to support recovery.

Does DMG injection really improve performance?

Is a recognised ergogenic nutrient and a derivative of the amino acid glycine that the body uses in methyl-group transfer and energy pathways. Manufacturer information and early equine research link DMG supplementation with lower blood lactate after training and improved endurance, while some independent peer-reviewed trials report more variable results — efficacy can depend on dose, conditioning, and the type of exercise. A controlled study of intravenous and oral dimethylglycine in exercising horses is available via ScienceDirect. DMG is best used as nutritional support alongside good training, nutrition, and veterinary care — not as a replacement for them.

Which animals is it for?

It is intended for performance horses and racing camels to support oxygen utilization, stamina, and recovery. Confirm suitability for your individual animal with your veterinarian.

When should I give DMG to a racing camel?

Ceva’s guidance is to dose 24 hours before training days and 24 and 48 hours before a race or Big Tahfeem, then 6 and 24 hours afterwards to support recovery. Observe all racing regulations.
