Replenish Lost Electrolytes After Exercise
Apple Lytes™ Paste has been expertly created to help restore essential electrolytes and promote hydration, which is crucial for preventing dehydration and supporting optimal performance.
Apple Lytes™ is tasty, low in sugar, and perfect for all horses and ponies. It comes in a practical, easy-to-use syringe, making it ideal for travel and shows.
When a horse exercises, travels, or experiences high temperatures, its body temperature rises, leading to sweating. This sweat evaporation aids in cooling the horse and regulating its body temperature. However, sweating results in fluid and electrolyte loss, as these body salts are present in sweat. A horse engaged in moderate activities like trotting and cantering can lose about 5-7 liters of fluid and 50-70g of electrolytes each hour, with losses increasing as the intensity or duration of the activity increases, especially in hot and humid conditions.
Studies indicate that even a 1% loss in hydration can negatively impact a horse's performance, making it vital to maintain hydration and replenish lost electrolytes for all horses and ponies, not just those in elite competitions.
