Product Information

Full details

Nourish Ultimate Electrolytes are designed for horses in regular work, providing a complete blend of essential minerals to replenish those lost through sweat. The key benefit is supporting hydration, muscle function, and overall performance. A potential caveat is that it should be integrated into a balanced diet, as it supplements rather than replaces essential nutrients from feed and forage. This product offers a balanced formula including sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, utilizing natural ingredients like ground Himalayan salt and pure potassium and magnesium sources.

FAQs

How do I know the correct dosage for my horse?

The dosage depends on your horse's weight and level of work. Refer to the feeding guide provided on the product packaging or within this guide, which outlines scoop amounts for ponies, horses, and large horses across different work intensities (light, medium, hard, very hard).

Can I feed this to a horse that is not in work?

While formulated for horses in work, it can be used for horses on rest days or in very light work. However, consult with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist to determine if supplementation is necessary for a horse with minimal sweat loss.

What is the main benefit of using Himalayan salt?

Ground Himalayan salt is used for its natural origin and higher trace mineral content compared to standard salt. Its presence contributes to the overall mineral balance and offers a potentially more natural approach to supplementation.

How long does a 2kg tub typically last?

A 2kg tub provides approximately one month's supply for a 500kg horse in medium work, based on the recommended feeding rate.

Is this product suitable for all horses?

It is specifically designed for horses in work to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat. While generally safe, always consider your individual horse's health status and dietary needs. Consult a veterinarian if your horse has specific health conditions.

What are the active ingredients and their amounts?

Per 25ml scoop (22g): Sodium 4.3g, Chloride 7.8g, Potassium 1.3g, Calcium 200mg, Magnesium 200mg.

Troubleshooting

Horse refusing to eat feed with supplement

Ensure the supplement is thoroughly mixed into the feed. Try mixing it with a small amount of palatable feed or a treat like applesauce before incorporating it into the main ration. Ensure the dosage is correct according to the feeding guide.

Difficulty measuring correct dosage

Use only the provided 25ml scoop and ensure it is filled level. Avoid over or under-filling the scoop. If precise measurement is critical, consider using a digital scale to confirm scoop weight.

Product appears clumpy or has changed texture

This could be due to moisture absorption. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use and stored in a dry environment. Minor clumping does not typically affect efficacy if the product is within its expiry date, but ensure it is mixed well.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This product is designed to supplement a balanced equine diet. It is compatible with most standard horse feeds and forages. However, always consult with an equine nutritionist or veterinarian if you have concerns about your horse's overall dietary requirements or if introducing new supplements.
