During exercise, horses lose large amounts of fluid and electrolytes through sweat. However, these electrolytes are essential for the proper functioning of the muscles and nervous system. A deficiency of electrolytes can lead to loss of performance, fatigue and loss of strength and endurance. In more severe cases, dehydration and a deficiency of these essential salts can lead to muscle cramps and dehydration. Be careful, stress conditions and high temperatures can also cause a serious disruption of the salt/fluid balance without the horses exerting themselves.
Electrolytes is an extremely complete electrolyte supplement in powder form for horses that ensures rapid recovery. Sodium chloride and potassium chloride restore the loss of moisture and essential minerals. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that has a positive effect on resistance and supports optimal muscle function and the functioning of the nervous system.
Tip: Always ensure that horses have sufficient clean drinking water available to obtain the optimal effect of this electrolyte supplement.
