During heavy labor or working in high temperatures, horses lose large amounts of body fluids through sweating. Horses then lose electrolytes in the following ratio:
sodium: 2 – chloride: 2 – potassium: 1.
Superlyte is formulated to replace the lost salts in the ratio and composition as they are lost. This keeps the salt balance in balance.
Research has shown that racehorses lose up to 10 liters of fluid on the distances from 1600 to 3200 m. Depending on the temperature, this can be even more. Deficiencies of electrolytes can lead to reduced performance, dehydration and tying up (cramping of the muscles)
Regular administration of electrolytes is vital for the well-being of sport horses and can optimize their athletic ability.
Attention ; stressful situations such as transporting horses can also cause large fluid and thus electrolyte losses.
