iO Electrolyte Powder for Horses is a nutritional supplement to assist in maintaining and restoring the horse's normal electrolyte balance where levels may be low in body tissues during heavy exercise and in hot weather conditions.
Benefits
- Helps replace electrolytes lost in sweat
- Can be used to encourage drinking, e.g. during transport or for horses that don't like to drink away from home – thirst is usually stimulated within 3–4 hours of dosing
- Use prior to racing will not elevate plasma bicarbonate levels, so will not contravene the rules of racing
