All horses sweat a lot when exercising and participating in performance events such as racing, 3-day events, endurance rides, ranch work and other English and Western sports.

The effects of prolonged exercise can include decreased performance, fatigue, heat stress, gastrointestinal dysfunction, muscle cramping or tying up, and even death. Heat stress begins at 70'F and 70% humidity, or when a combination of the two exceeds 140.

"Maintaining fluid and ion balance is important for optimal performance" reported the University of Guelph Equine Research Centre after a three year study of water and ion losses in the performance horse.

When horses sweat they lose electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, sodium chloride, and calcium). Also when a horse sweats a lot and is under stress, they can also experience reduced bowel function (motility).

E-Lytes replaces the lost electrolytes and provides a pro-active effect on the bowel. This helps to keep the bowel functioning properly.

Most electrolytes contain only the re-placement minerals. E-Lytes contains these minerals and also other ingredients to help handle stress better.

E-Lytes contains an enzyme enhancer for better digestion and Vitamin B complex for stress. E-Lytes is necessary to replace minerals in all hard-working horses.
