Electrolytes 500g

Complementary feed for horses. High-quality soluble electrolyte mix for horses, to promote fluid balance regulation during and after periods of exertion and sweating. With added flavorings to increase palatability.

During high temperatures or strenuous exertion, a horse sweats heavily. Through this sweat, a horse also loses many electrolytes. Electrolytes regulate the fluid balance in the body and are important for energy management, pH balance, muscle contraction and relaxation, and signal transmission in the brain and nervous system. The body cannot produce these electrolytes itself; they must be obtained from feed and drinking water. During prolonged exertion, a horse loses significantly more electrolytes through sweat than can be replenished via regular feed. In these cases, it is important to provide the horse with extra electrolytes.

Electrolytes is a powder that is easy to administer over feed, or you can dissolve it in drinking water. Electrolyte supplements often also contain dextrose. This dextrose plays an important role, as it ensures that water and ions can be absorbed more quickly in the small intestine.
