Chelated trace minerals are the key to fast absorption. Electro-plex goes far beyond containing just trace minerals. It also contains important B vitamins and nineteen different amino acids, including all eight essential amino acids. The main purpose of an electrolyte is to help prevent dehydration. Electroplex helps replace the minerals that are lost from the equine athlete's system during exertion. But just as important, electro-plex is very effective in stimulating a horse to drink water. Hot weather and heavy exercise take their toll on a horse's system. Combine these two factors with the diuretic drugs that are commonly administered to race horses and the threat of dehydration becomes an ever present problem. Electro-plex excels at meeting the extreme demands that these factors play on a horse's system. Calf-lyte, an electrolyte for calves, is also available. Indications: To be used just prior to, or immediately following a race or workout to replace the important electrolytes and nutrients lost due to physical stress. Always provide ample drinking water. Administer entire contents onto the back of horse's tongue.
