Apex Electrolyte Recharge Powder - 2.5kg

Apex Electrolyte Recharge Powder is a balanced horse electrolyte supplement formulated to replenish key minerals lost through sweating, strenuous exercise, travel and hot weather.

Electrolytes including sodium, chloride and potassium play important roles in maintaining normal fluid balance, hydration and muscle function. Supplementing electrolytes can be particularly useful for horses experiencing significant sweat loss during hard work, competition, endurance exercise or transport.

The powder mixes easily into feed or drinking water, making it a practical option for horses in regular work and horses travelling or competing.

When to Feed Electrolytes

Apex Electrolyte Recharge Powder can be particularly useful when electrolyte losses are increased, including:

• Heavy exercise or strenuous training.
• Back-to-back competition days.
• Hot or humid weather with significant sweating.
• Long-distance transportation.
• Endurance and racing programmes.
• Recovery following periods of substantial fluid loss.

For horses experiencing illness, diarrhoea/scouring or significant dehydration, veterinary advice should be sought rather than relying on an electrolyte supplement alone.

Feeding Recommendations

Mix into the horse's daily feed or drinking water before and after exercise.

Always provide access to fresh, clean drinking water.

For particularly hot work days, the supplied feeding guidance suggests splitting the daily amount between pre- and post-exercise feeding.

Important Feeding Note

Electrolytes should be used according to the horse's workload, sweat loss and the manufacturer's recommended quantities. Do not substantially increase the dosage without appropriate advice.

Powder vs Pellets

Apex Electrolyte Recharge is available in powder and pellet formats.

The powder is convenient for mixing into wet feed or drinking water, while pellets can be preferable for horses that find them more palatable or for situations where hand dosing is more convenient.

Both formats are described as having the same balanced mineral profile.
