Designed specifically for endurance horses. When endurance horses sweat, electrolyte reserves within the body are depleted. Because electrolyte balance is critical for maximal performance, replacement of lost electrolytes is imperative. Endura-Max is formulated to restore key electrolytes relinquished in sweat, including sodium, chloride, and potassium. Unlike other electrolytes, Endura-Max also contains calcium and magnesium, minerals which may be depleted in levels high enough to elicit metabolic disorders such as thumps and tying-up in horses subjected to exercise of low intensity and long duration. Endura-Max Prevents metabolic misfires from electrolyte loss such as tying-up and thumps Contains more electrolytes and less sugar than most other brands Easy to give--just mix into the feed Can benefit horses involved in other low-intensity, long-distance work Ingredients: Salt (sodium chloride), potassium chloride, dextrose, calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, natural flavors. Each 1-ounce dose provides: Sodium (min.) 5528 mg Chloride (min.) 11886 mg Potassium (min.) 3657 mg Calcium (min.) 754 mg Magnesium (min.) 153 mg What makes Endura-Max unique for endurance horses? Unlike most popular electrolytes, Endura-Max contains added calcium and magnesium. During long rides, calcium and magnesium may be lost in amounts high enough to result in metabolic disorders such as thumps and tying-up. Calcium and magnesium are added to Endura-Max in highly available forms. Many commercial electrolytes contain as much as 85% dextrose (sugar). The concentration of electrolytes in Endura-Max is uniquely high as it contains less than 15% sugar. Recommendations for Use: For immediate oral supplementation, mix Endura-Max in a 60-cc dose syringe with water or another carrier (such as applesauce or yogurt). For preloading prior to a competition, mix Endura-Max with the grain portion of the diet or administer orally. In addition, horses should always have free-choice access to a salt block or loose salt and fresh clean water. Feeding Directions: The following are general guidelines. The actual amount of electrolyte supplementation needed will depend on the level of exercise, temperature, and humidity. During Competition Because of the tremendous sweat loss during a race, an endurance horse should receive 2 oz the night before, 2 oz prior to starting, and 2 oz at every vet check. Daily Supplementation Daily supplementation of electrolytes to an endurance horse is discretionary. A normal maintenance intake for horses at rest in hot environments or those being transported in hot weather is 1 oz per day. Horses at moderate work levels should receive 2-3 oz per day, and those in heavy training require 3-4 oz per day. It is recommended to divide daily doses of 3-4 oz into separate feedings. If a horse is unwilling to drink water, electrolytes should not be given without the supervision of a veterinarian. Important Note Always provide horses receiving electrolyte supplementation with free-choice, clean water. Lack of adequate water in a diet supplemented with electrolytes may lead to dehydration and other serious metabolic disorders.
