Product Details Electrolyte supplementation is often thought of as only needed by performance horses; however, any horse that sweats for a prolonged period of time, regardless of reason, will benefit from electrolyte supplementation. Horses sweat for various reasons, the most common being exercise, weather, stress, and illness. When horses sweat, it results in the loss of not only water, but also sodium chloride, potassium and lesser amounts of calcium and magnesium. If these are not replenished, it could result in a significant body deficit of these electrolytes and cause fatigue, muscle weakness, fatigue, reduced feed and water intake, and reduced sweating, which can lead to overheating and compromise overall health and performance. Apple Elite Electrolyte supplement replaces vital minerals lost through sweat during exercise, extreme weather conditions and stressful situations. This complete electrolyte formula is an excellent means to encourage healthy water consumption year-round, and support muscle function, fluid balance and energy production at a cellular level. This palatable apple-flavored powder is great for daily use; just mix in with your horse's regular grain ration.
