Additional Information

What is OsmoPlex®?

OsmoPlex® is a specially formulated blend of essential electrolytes and minerals designed to help maintain osmotic balance and support normal cellular pH in horses. Each 80g daily dose contains over 50% sodium chloride (salt), making it highly effective in replacing electrolytes lost through sweat.

Why Sodium and Chloride Are Important

Horses that sweat heavily lose large amounts of chloride, the most abundant electrolyte lost during intense activity. Sodium is also vital for nearly every physiological process in the horse’s body. By increasing sodium levels in the body’s fluids, OsmoPlex® can help stimulate the horse’s thirst, encouraging them to drink more and stay hydrated—crucial for performance and recovery.

Key Minerals in OsmoPlex®

Alongside sodium and chloride, OsmoPlex® includes:

  • Seaweed-derived calcium, rich in both calcium and magnesium for muscle and bone support
  • Potassium, important for muscle contraction and nerve function
  • Glucose, which can help improve the absorption of sodium and increase palatability

These ingredients work together to support cellular growth, hydration, and muscle and nerve health in horses under stress or in training.

Electrolyte and Hydration Facts

  • Just 2% dehydration can negatively affect performance 
  • Light to moderate exercise can cause a horse to lose 5–10 litres of sweat per hour
  • Low sodium intake can contribute to or worsen anhidrosis (the inability to sweat normally)
  • Severely dehydrated horses may need 72–96 hours to fully recover

Why Choose OsmoPlex®?

Whether your horse is competing, working, or recovering, OsmoPlex® helps maintain electrolyte balance, encourages hydration, and supports overall cellular health. It’s a smart choice for performance, wellbeing, and recovery.

Support hydration and normal sweating 

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
