KelatoLYTE

A scientifically formulated, balanced electrolyte replacer for horses designed to mimic the composition of horse sweat. Supplementation with KelatoLYTE will help to reduce the risk of dehydration and associated disorders such as poor performance, fatigue and muscle stiffness. 

Horses require electrolyte replacement when they have been sweating, whether from work, travel, stress or during hot, humid conditions. Electrolyte replacers are not only essential to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat, but they also encourage adequate water intake. When humans sweat, we lose more water than electrolytes in our sweat, causing a rise in blood sodium concentration. Sodium is thought to trigger the thirst response and we therefore feel the need to drink until fully rehydrated.

Conversely, horses lose equal amounts of electrolytes and water in their sweat. The horse will get a slight rise in blood sodium concentration and will drink a little, but not enough to fully rehydrate. Hence, why they don’t feel the physiological need to drink even though they have sweated profusely.

KelatoLYTE is scientifically formulated to mimic the composition of horse sweat effectively replacing what is lost. It contains 88% electrolytes, no bicarb, facilitates fast rehydration and encourages drinking. Can be used as a daily supplement, an isotonic drench or an electrolyte paste.
