Equine Elixirs Electrobites Electrolyte Gummy
Horses can lose 8-12 oz of salt and essential key minerals per day with moderate to heavy sweating. Salt and electrolyte supplements can help replace those lost during exercise, hot weather and trailering. I recently did a post comparing Salt and Electrolytes and how very important it is to use them to help keep your horse drinking, as well as to help replace lost key minerals. You can read more about it here.
Sometimes it can be hard to get picky horses to lick loose salt and electrolyte supplements or sometimes loose powders or paste can be difficult to administer while trailering horses. That’s were the geniuses behind Equine Elixirs come in. They recently added another great product to their line of gummy treats, the Electrobites Electrolyte Gummy.
The Electrobites Electrolyte Gummy consists of pink Himalayan salt, red Hawaiian salt and tasty banana all meant to support healthy hydration and mimic the minerals lost in sweat. Pink Himalayan sea salt can contain over 84 minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron and Hawaiian red salt contains more than 80 healthy minerals, mainly consisting of sodium and chlorine as well as sufficient amounts of iron (digestible) and low levels of calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, and other minerals. These nutrients all help to regulate organ function and maintain electrolyte levels within the body. Bananas contain potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, and vitamin D and add a sweet flavor that horses love.
These nickel sized gummies are super easy to feed as a healthy and beneficial treat. I particularly like them for trailer rides and horse shows where they are much easier to feed than a powder electrolyte supplement.
My horses all love the Electrobites Electrolyte Gummy and happily ate them. You can purchase a jar of 110 gummies for $26 on Equine Elixirs website. You can also read more about Equine Elixirs’ original gummy the awesome Tummy Gummy Antacid here.
