Versele-Laga Superstar Plus 20kg - Free P&P

Versele-Laga Superstar Plus 20kg — Premium Sport Mix for Racing Pigeons

Versele-Laga Superstar Plus is a premium sport mixture designed to optimise racing pigeon performance during the training and racing season. The advanced Plus performance pellet features lecithin and L-carnitine to enhance fat metabolism and energy conversion — lecithin improves intestinal fat absorption whilst L-carnitine efficiently transforms stored fat into usable muscular energy. The combined effect reduces fatigue, minimises cramping and extends flight endurance — critical attributes for longer distance races. Fortified with antioxidants, organic selenium and vitamin E to support immune function, oxidative stress management and overall condition throughout the demanding race season. Belgian Quality. 20kg. Free P&P.

Key Benefits

• Sport mix with Plus performance pellet — lecithin and L-carnitine for enhanced fat metabolism and energy conversion

• Lecithin improves intestinal fat absorption — more energy available per gram of fat consumed
• Reduces fatigue and cramping — extends flight endurance for longer distance performance
• Antioxidants, organic selenium and vitamin E — support immune function and manage oxidative stress during hard racing
• Balanced carbohydrate, protein and fat profile for sustained energy across training and racing
• Belgian Quality — Versele-Laga Plus range
• 20kg — Free P&P

How to Feed

Feed as the main daily ration during the training and racing season. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times. Transition to Mutine Plus I.C.+ after the racing season for the moulting period, then to Depure Plus I.C.+ for the winter rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does L-carnitine improve racing performance?
L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid compound that plays a central role in fat metabolism. It acts as a transporter, carrying long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane where they are oxidised (burned) to produce ATP energy. During sustained flight, racing pigeons rely heavily on fat as a fuel source. L-carnitine ensures this fat is converted to energy efficiently, reducing the build-up of metabolic by-products that cause muscle fatigue and cramping — particularly important over longer distances.

What does lecithin do in a pigeon racing mix?
Lecithin is a natural phospholipid emulsifier found in cell membranes. In a racing pigeon context, dietary lecithin improves the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats in the intestine, increasing the bioavailability of fat-soluble energy and nutrients. More efficient fat absorption means more energy available from each gram of fat consumed — directly supporting the energy demands of hard racing.

Why are antioxidants and organic selenium important during racing?
Intense physical exertion generates free radicals — reactive oxygen species that cause oxidative damage to cells, muscles and immune tissues. Antioxidants (including vitamin E and organic selenium) neutralise free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and supporting faster recovery between races. Organic selenium has superior bioavailability compared to inorganic selenium, making it a premium inclusion in a racing feed.

How does Superstar Plus fit into the Plus range season cycle?
Superstar Plus is the racing season sport mix in the Versele-Laga Plus range cycle. A typical year: Start Plus I.C.+ (breeding) → Junior Plus I.C.+ (youngsters) → Superstar Plus (racing season) → Mutine Plus I.C.+ (moulting) → Depure Plus I.C.+ (rest and purification) → Start Plus I.C.+ (breeding again).

How should I store a 20kg sack?
Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed airtight container or bin away from direct sunlight and pests. Keep sealed between uses to maintain freshness of the grain and performance pellets.
