When a horse sweats it loses salts such as sodium, chloride and potassium. This depletion of a horse’s natural electrolyte balance can cause muscle stiffness, tiredness and colic symptoms that can be potentially life threatening. Administering electrolytes before, during and immediately after heavy work, may replace lost electrolytes and prevent dehydration.

Vitamin C is involved in a number of metabolic functions in the body, as well as the formulation of collagen, red blood cells and the body’s anti-stress hormone cortisol. Horses obtain Vitamin C from green feeds, and normal daily needs are synthesized in the liver. Research has indicated that a dosage of Vitamin C mixed into the feed on a daily basis will increase blood levels above normal ‘resting’ levels. Containing a high percentage of Vitamin C and key nutrients suitable for performance horses CoPa Ireland Ltd’s Electrolytes are designed to replace lost fluid after hard work and stress.
