Amino-Max 500ML Injection

A concentrated amino acid, electrolyte and B-vitamin supplement given by slow intravenous injection to support horses, camels and livestock during race recovery, periods of stress, and illness. Part of the Ceva veterinary range, this 500 mL multidose bottle delivers a broad spectrum of essential amino acids together with balanced electrolytes and B-group vitamins, making it a practical supportive aid when an animal’s protein, fluid and electrolyte demands rise sharply during hard work, travel or recovery from sickness.

Key benefits and features:

• Concentrated amino acid profile including lysine, methionine, threonine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, arginine and phenylalanine.
• Balanced electrolytes help restore fluid and electrolyte balance lost through sweating, racing or diarrhoea.
• Added B-group vitamins support energy metabolism and appetite during stress and recovery.
• Highly concentrated formula: the manufacturer reports up to 34 times the amino acid concentration of standard comparison products, so a smaller volume delivers more.
• Multi-species use formulated for horses, camels and livestock such as cattle and sheep.

What is in Amino Max injection?

Contains a concentrated blend of essential amino acids (such as L-lysine, L-methionine, L-threonine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, DL-valine, L-arginine, DL-phenylalanine, L-histidine, DL-tryptophan, L-cysteine and L-glutamine), electrolytes (including potassium, calcium, magnesium and sodium salts), and B-group vitamins (vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, nicotinamide and dexpanthenol).

What is Amino Max injection used for?

Used as a supportive supplement during race recovery and race preparation, and as supportive treatment in sick or debilitated animals. It is also indicated for diarrhoea (alongside appropriate medical treatment), lowered amino acid intake, and stress caused by transportation, a changed environment, disease, or the increased protein requirements of heavy exercise and racing. According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, essential amino acids such as lysine, methionine and threonine are particularly important for protein quality in horses, and these are among the amino acids this formulation provides.

How is Amino Max injection given to horses and camels?

Always follow the product label and the directions of your veterinarian. The manufacturer’s general dosage guidance is as follows:

• Horses: 1 mL per 4.5 kg bodyweight by slow intravenous (IV) injection or infusion, approximately 100 to 120 mL for a 500 kg horse.
• Camels: by slow intravenous (IV) injection or infusion, 60 to 80 mL diluted into saline for smaller camels (higayg, ligaya and iddah), and 80 to 100 mL diluted into saline for larger camels (thanayah, howl and gilesa).
• Cattle, calves, sheep: 1 mL per 4.5 kg bodyweight by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection.

Is Amino Max injection suitable for racing animals?

Is widely used in racing yards as part of race preparation and post-race recovery for both horses and camels. However, product literature notes that the B vitamins in this formulation may be detectable in body fluids for up to 48 hours after administration, so trainers should always check the current detection times and anti-doping rules of their racing authority before competition. When in doubt, consult your veterinarian and the relevant racing regulator to confirm withdrawal periods.

This supplement pairs well with other supportive products in the Ghezlan range. Many trainers use it alongside V.A.M. Injection.

How is it different from oral electrolytes?

Because it is given intravenously, the amino acids, electrolytes and B vitamins enter the bloodstream directly, which is useful when rapid support is needed or when an animal is off feed. Oral supplements instead rely on digestion and absorption, which takes longer.

How much does a 500 kg horse need?

The manufacturer suggests approximately 100 to 120 mL for a 500 kg horse (1 mL per 4.5 kg bodyweight) by slow IV injection or infusion. Always confirm dosing with your veterinarian.

Always read the label and consult your veterinarian to confirm is appropriate for your animal before use.
