Key benefits

• Replenishes electrolytes: Provides sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium to help replace salts lost during sweating.
• Supports hydration and recovery: Helps restore electrolyte balance following strenuous exercise and may encourage the horse to resume drinking.
• Supports appetite after work: The buffered formulation is intended to reduce the gastric discomfort that can sometimes accompany concentrated salt supplementation.
• Buffered and stomach-friendly: Contains calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which act as buffering agents and provide calcium and magnesium.
• Convenient syringe: The 30 mL oral syringe allows rapid administration immediately after exercise or competition.
• Palatable: Product listings describe it as having a toffee/caramel flavour, helping with acceptance.
• Suitable for equines: Intended for horses and other equines. PPet Station+1
