Description
Electrolytes are usually thought of as a performance-horse product, but any horse that sweats for an extended period — from exercise, weather or stress — can benefit. Sweat takes water with it, along with sodium chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium. If those are not replaced, the deficit can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, reduced feed and water intake, and reduced sweating, which in turn risks overheating. Farnam Apple Elite Electrolyte Powder replaces the minerals lost through sweat during exercise, extreme hot and cold weather, and stressful situations. The balanced apple-flavored formula is also an effective way to encourage healthy water consumption year round.
