KAUFFMAN’S Orange Electrolyte provides supplemental Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Chloride (Cl), Magnesium (Mg), and Potassium (K) in a formula balanced for equine use. Water-dispersible forms of Vitamins A and D have been added to combat deficiencies during times of stress. This product can be mixed with the daily grain ration or dissolved in water.
The importance of horse electrolyte supplements and powders cannot be underestimated. If your horse is sweating excessively after a hard workout, he’s losing essential "salts" such as sodium, potassium and chloride. This condition affects the performance and overall health of the horse.
In fact, electrolyte deficiency is characterized by poor performance, dark urine, listlessness, sunken eyes and a dull coat. This is where the best horse electrolyte supplements or powders come in handy. They not only ensure your horse’s cells are adequately hydrated, but they also facilitate optimal delivery of nutrition when it matters most.
Providing a quality electrolyte supplement before and after a heavy workout session could help your horse recover quickly and more efficiently. The time before the horse gets fatigued is increased by at least 23% when an electrolyte supplement is administered within an hour of finishing a strenuous workout session. This enables the horse to perform well over the next few days.
On the other hand, without essential electrolytes, the horse’s body can’t retain water. So, giving a horse water after a strenuous workout session isn’t the best way to keep him hydrated over time.
