Additional Information

What is OsmoPlex?
OsmoPlex is a specific blend of minerals designed to support osmotic balance and normal cellular pH. There is over 50% Sodium Chloride (salt) in every 80g daily dose of OsmoPlex. Chloride is the electrolyte which is lost in the greatest amount in heavily sweating horses and Sodium is an important electrolyte, as it is essential for nearly every process. Increasing the Sodium concentration in water in the horse’s body may engage the horse’s thirst drive. This is vital in maintaining hydration, as it encourgages the horse to drink. OsmoPlex includes seaweed derived calcium especially rich in the minerals magnesium and calcium. OsmoPlex also includes the mineral Potassium. These minerals support normal cellular growth as well as muscle and nerve function. Inclusion of Glucose may assist with the absorption of Sodium and increase palatability.

Electrolyte and Hydration Facts
• Just 2% dehydration can cause loss of performance
• Low to medium level exercise can cause horses to lose 5-10L of sweat per hour
• Inadequate sodium intake can promote or aggravate anhydrosis (inability to sweat normally)
• It can take 72-96 hours for a badly dehydrated horse to fully recover

Support hydration and normal sweating with OsmoPlex

Electrolytes are essential minerals - sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium and potassium that are vital to many key functions in your horse's body - including hydration, muscle contraction, regulating body pH and more. Horses lose large volumes of water and electrolytes in their sweat. It is recommended that all horses are supplemented on a daily basis with electrolytes as well as other minerals and vitamins.

Electrolytes - Sodium | Potassium | Chloride

Always remember that no mineral or vitamin acts in isolation - whilst the actions of each individual mineral is described as follows there are thousands of reactions occurring at any given moment in time in your horses body that involve interactions with other minerals, vitamins, protein and energy sources.

The importance of feeding electrolytes in winter

Adequate electrolyte supply is critical for hydration and digestion all year round. Sodium Chloride (salt) is an important electrolyte, as it is essential for nearly every process. Sodium is vital for engaging a horse’s thirst response and encouraging them to consume enough water even during cooler temperatures. Read more
