Endura-Max
Electrolyte - 5 lb Buckets are formulated specifically for
endurance horses. It contains additional calcium and magnesium, two
minerals essential for long-duration exercise.
When endurance horses
sweat, electrolyte reserves within the body are depleted. Because electrolyte
balance is critical for maintenance of health and performance, replacement of
lost electrolytes is wise. Endura-Max is formulated to restore key electrolytes
lost in sweat, including sodium, chloride, and potassium.
Endura-Max is an electrolyte supplement designed specifically for endurance horses.
When endurance horses sweat, electrolyte reserves within the body are depleted. Because electrolyte balance is critical for maintenance of health and performance, replacement of lost electrolytes is wise. Endura-Max is formulated to restore key electrolytes lost in sweat, including sodium, chloride, and potassium.
Unlike other electrolytes, Endura-Max also contains calcium and magnesium, minerals that may be depleted in high levels in horses subjected to low-intensity, long-duration exercise. Endura-Max is: A concentrated electrolyte That contains little sugar Yet supports normal hydration And is easy to administer (just mix into the feed)
Feeding Directions & 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 competitive ride, 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.
While Traveling or in Hot Environments: 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.
Endura-Max Ingredients:
Salt (sodium chloride), potassium chloride, dextrose, calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, natural flavors. Each 1-ounce dose of Endura-max provides: Sodium 5528 mg (min.) Chloride 11886 mg (min.) Potassium 3657 mg (min.) Calcium 754 mg (min.) Magnesium 153 mg (min.)
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.
Important Note: If a horse is unwilling to drink water, electrolytes should not be given without the supervision of a veterinarian. 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.
Can Endura-Max be used for horses other than endurance horses?
Endura-Max is a unique formula designed for the special needs of endurance horses. The long duration of work performed by these horses, often in hot, humid environments, results in unique metabolic conditions that are not typically experienced by other performance horses.
