EQUINE ELECTROLYTE

Description

Horses need certain charge minerals to maintain the balance and flow of vital body fluids, for the transmission of nerve impulses and the healthy function of the muscles and circulatory system. These charged minerals are known as electrolytes. Electrolytes are also essential for the formation of new body tissues and are needed in enzyme functions such as recovery, energy transfer, cell growth, digestion and healing ability. Loss of electrolytes during exercise can lead to muscle tremors, incoordination and severe exhaustion.
During periods of training, performance, high temperatures and humidity, horses lose large quantities of electrolytes through their sweat.
As with human athletes, horses in these conditions need extra electrolytes added to their diet. Spurwing Equine Electrolytes contain all the necessary minerals needed to replace those that are lost during
strenuous exercise.

SODIUM: is necessary to balance the body’s water levels and maintain blood pressure.
POTASSIUM: helps balance the fluids inside cells and is vital for optimal muscle and kidney function.
CHLORIDE: helps maintain the balance between acids and bases.
MAGNESIUM: is a very important co-factor for over 300 enzymes in the horses’ body which, without magnesium, cannot function.

All of these are found in Spurwing Equine Electrolytes: an indispensable addition to your sporting horses lifestyle when in work.
