In mammalian physiology, the primary ions of electrolytes are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride. Dextrose (sugar) is not an electrolyte! but is sometimes added to electrolyte supplements in order to improve palatability. Your horse requires a complex electrolyte balance to regulate the hydration of the body, blood pH, and for nerve and muscle function. Kauffman's Electrolyte Supplements have been formulated to meet the challenging demands of a variety of equine athletes across a broad range of disciplines. A blend of equal parts of sodium chloride (salt) and potassium chloride. Kauffman's Salt-Potassium is an economical alternative for the supplementation of Sodium and Potassium. It provides a source of these two important electrolytes as a free flowing, water-soluble mix. Use as a supplemental source of salt and potassium for horses. Feed free choice or at an approximate rate of one to two ounces per horse, per day. The enclosed measuring scoop holds one ounce when level full. An adequate supply of clean, clear water should be available at all times. Not for human consumption
