How it Works

ElectroBalance provides levels of electrolytes to aid in electrolyte replenishment. And unlike other electrolytes on the market, ElectroBalance contains no sugar (dextrose) or fillers. Horse sweat is hypertonic meaning that the concentration of electrolytes in their sweat is more concentrated than in body fluids. As a result, periods of intense sweating can leave a horse at risk of electrolyte depletion. Not only will this result in decreased performance, but it may also have negative health implications. ElectroBalance is designed to replace these losses.

ElectroBalance products contain a source of naturally occurring unrefined salt. Daily sodium intake is vital for ensuring adequate water consumption which is an important component of reducing impaction colic risk as well as the many functions in the body that require water. These include maintaining adequate lubrication of mucus membranes, production of secretions necessary for digestion, proper kidney function and many others. Sodium is also a vital mineral for proper muscle contraction. Horses that become dehydrated will suffer decreased performance.

ElectroBalance provides twice the salt per serving compared to GastroBalance and provides electrolytes in a ratio that mirrors that of equine sweat. ElectroBalance is formulated to be an electrolyte that can be used to replace losses incurred through heavy sweating. In addition to the more than 40 minerals provided by the bentonite clay and raw salt, ElectroBalance has added copper, zinc and selenium to support vital metabolic functions. Zinc is involved in over 300 metabolic processes, is a key operator in immune function as well as the health of hooves and skin. Selenium plays a vital role in glutathione peroxidase which protects cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxidases that are produced during exercise. It also plays a role in thyroid hormone metabolism.

ElectroBalance utilizes Alltech Chelated Organic Trace Minerals which are amino acid complexes. This means that unlike the naturally occurring oxide and sulfur forms of zinc and copper commonly used in supplements, these trace minerals are attached to the amino acids methionine and lysine respectively. This may improve their absorption as it allows the minerals to leave the gastrointestinal tract via pathways meant for amino acids rather than those used by other minerals. This reduces competition for absorption. AllTech has been on the leading edge of animal nutrition with more than 40 years of scientific research behind their work. These sustainable customer-centric equine solutions will serve to ensure the health and safety of the horse.

Q: Can I increase the dosage during hot, humid days and/or major weather changes?

A: Absolutely! During the hot, humid days or major weather changes, we recommend feeding anywhere up to 6 scoops in a day. This will help increase the electrolyte support and stimulate good drinking habits especially during hot or major weather changes when a horse might not drink as much.
