Sweating not only loses fluid as it evaporates, but also essential body salts, particularly sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Failure to replace these body salts (known as electrolytes) can result in fatigue, and in extreme cases, damage to muscle, bone and cartilage tissue.

Electro Salts is a concentrated combination of the essential plasma salts in combination with dextrose to aid efficient absorption of the salts.

Electro Salts should be fed following exertion, after heavy sweating or during periods of very hot weather. Electro Salts can be given easily in the feed, or dissolved in water.

Always ensure a supply of clean fresh water is readily available.

When horses sweat they lose vital water and body salts (electrolytes) and prolonged sweating, whether during exercise, performance or travelling, can result in dehydration, decreased performance, fatigue, muscle cramping and other problems. Maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance is essential for optimum performance and research has shown that administering an electrolyte before, during and after work can delay the onset of fatigue dramatically.

Aqua-Aide contains key salts, including potassium chloride and magnesium, in addition to the commonly included sodium chloride, plus sufficient dextrose for optimum absorption. It is designed to be administered according to length and intensity of work done and can be fed ad hoc (whenever the horse sweats), on an ongoing basis or before, during and after competition days. Its highly palatable formulation can be administered in water or wet (sloppy) feed.

TARGETED AT

Any horse who sweats during training or competition

Working horses who don’t “self-supplement” their diets from salt licks or who find salt added to feed unpalatable

Working or performance horses requiring additional support for healthy muscle function
