Humidimix 5kg

HUMIDIMIX® is an electrolyte supplement scientifically designed for horses that work over extended periods of timeat a moderate speed or for those considered heavy sweaters.

 Scientifically formulated electrolyte for: 

•    Moderate work over longer periods of time. 
•    Heavy sweaters. 
•    Hot and humid conditions. 
•    High level of potassium, chloride and magnesium.
•    Replaces essential electrolytes and does not contain fillers (eg. sugar, lactose or table salt).
•    Powder supplement that can be added to feed, given in water or as a pre-race drench. 
•    Encourages drinking.

Electrolytes are  salts that play an impor tant role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, kidney function and normal nerve and muscle activity in the body.  Every day electrolytes   are lost from the body in large amounts through sweat.    

A  horse cools their body primarily by sweating. In  many situations,   the amount of sweat lost may not be apparent due to evaporation. Horses may lose up  to 10-15L of sweat per hour during exercise  and continue to sweat during the cool down period. Heat, humidity and intense or prolonged exercise will all increase sweating.  Horses in training are unlikely to be able to replace these body salts from their feed alone, and extra supplementation in most cases is required.    

If the electrolytes and fluid lost are not replaced the results are  fatigue, muscle weakness,  a  decrease in the desire to drink and ultimately delayed recovery after strenuous exercise and reduced performance.    


INDICATIONS:

HUMIDIMIX^® will replace salts lost due to heavy sweating and will
aid in the treatment of alkalosis and hypochloraemia (low chloride
levels) in horses. It may also be used as supportive therapy in the
treatment of dehydration if given with water.

RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN:

• High performance horses doing moderate speed work
  over extended periods of time (eg. show jumping,
  endurance, eventing, dressage, stock work).
• Heavy sweaters
• Horses working in hot and humid conditions
• Horses prone to ‘tying up’
• Horses prone to ‘Anhidrosis’ (dry coat or
  non-sweating disease)
