Any tried Phosphate Loading?

[speed shop]

I read an interesting article today from a site that I typically order products from.  It talked about Phosphate loading and the benefits.  I am wondering if this will get you a positive for the black box or if this is something totally different?  If you want to read the article I will put the link up.  Seems like it could be good stuff.

Be careful with phosphorus, too much can cause problems:

Too much phosphate can lead to diarrhea and calcification (hardening) of organs and soft tissue, and can interfere with the body's ability to use iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Athletes and others taking supplements that contain phosphate, should only do so very occasionally and with the guidance and direction of a health care provider.

Both articles are very interesting.  Has anyone answered the question about what effect this will have on the black box.  Love to hear that answer.

GNC used to make a product call Phospha Load or Phos Fuel?  Can't remember but it was good stuff.  It would pass the box no problem and they would explode on that stuff.  I haven't seen it in years.  I think they stopped making it for some reason?

Just ask the state vet at the box they are full of information.

When a horse has an injury there is more phosporus going to the site, hense giving a horse 200ml. every other day iv. helps the site heal faster. As a pre race? Its like baking soda, first a little was used without messing up the horses electrolytes. So if a little works a lot is better. Will this go the same way?
