EAC Osmo-Lyte

EAC osmo-lyte Electrolyte Replacer

Advanced electrolyte and hydration support for horses in training, competition and hot conditions.

osmo-lyte is a comprehensive electrolyte replacer formulated to help replace the essential minerals lost through sweat and support hydration, muscle function and recovery in working horses.

Featuring elevated sodium and chloride, carefully balanced potassium, magnesium and calcium, plus Betaine for additional cellular hydration support, osmo-lyte is designed for horses experiencing varying levels of exercise and sweat loss.

With feeding rates ranging from maintenance through to intense workloads, osmo-lyte can be easily adjusted to suit your horse's activity level, environmental conditions and sweat rate.

Sodium & Chloride – Replacing What's Lost in Sweat

Horses can lose significant amounts of sodium and chloride through sweat, particularly during prolonged exercise or hot and humid weather.

These electrolytes are essential for maintaining normal fluid balance, hydration, nerve transmission and muscle function.

osmo-lyte provides elevated levels of sodium and chloride to help replenish these important minerals following sweat losses.

Magnesium Support

Magnesium is an essential major mineral involved in numerous cellular processes throughout the horse's body.

It contributes to normal:

• Muscle contraction and relaxation
• Nerve function
• Cellular energy metabolism
• Electrolyte balance
• Neuromuscular function

osmo-lyte provides supplemental magnesium alongside the other major electrolytes required by working horses.

Balanced Potassium

Potassium is another important electrolyte lost through sweat and is essential for normal muscle, nerve and cellular function.

However, equine diets containing plenty of good-quality forage often naturally provide substantial amounts of potassium.

osmo-lyte has therefore been formulated to provide potassium as part of a broader electrolyte balance, rather than focusing on potassium alone.

Betaine – Cellular Hydration Support

One of the distinguishing ingredients in osmo-lyte is Betaine.

Betaine functions as an osmolyte, helping cells regulate water balance and maintain normal cellular hydration during changing physiological conditions.

Its inclusion provides additional nutritional support for muscle cells and normal cellular function, making it particularly relevant for horses undertaking strenuous exercise and experiencing significant sweat loss.

Designed for Working & Sweating Horses

Electrolyte requirements vary considerably depending on:

• Exercise intensity
• Duration of exercise
• Individual sweat rate
• Temperature and humidity
• Fitness level
• Diet and forage intake
• Travel and competition demands

osmo-lyte offers different feeding levels so supplementation can be adjusted according to the horse's workload and expected sweat losses.

Feeding Instructions

Simply mix osmo-lyte Electrolyte Replacer into the horse's daily feed.

For a 500kg horse:

Maintenance:
1 scoop daily – 30g

Moderate Work:
2 scoops daily – 60g

Intense Work:
3 scoops daily – 90g

1 scoop = 30g. Scoop included.

Adjust supplementation according to the horse's activity level, sweat rate and current feeding program.

Nutrient Levels per kg

Compatible Products

According to the supplied product information, osmo-lyte can be used in conjunction with:

in-sideout • in-fusion HA • in-fusion MSM • in-stride • in-force • in-take

When combining supplements, consider the horse's complete diet to avoid unnecessary duplication of individual nutrients.

Ideal For

Performance Horses • Racehorses • Competition Horses • Horses in Training • Heavy Sweaters • Hot & Humid Conditions • Travelling Horses • Post-Exercise Recovery • Electrolyte & Hydration Support

Important Information

Always ensure horses receiving electrolyte supplementation have free access to clean, fresh drinking water.

Electrolyte requirements can vary significantly between horses. Heavy sweaters and horses undertaking prolonged or strenuous exercise may require an individually tailored replacement program.

Horses showing signs of significant dehydration, heat stress, weakness, persistent muscle problems, reduced sweating, colic or failure to recover normally after exercise should receive veterinary attention.

Always follow the current manufacturer's feeding directions and consider the horse's total intake of electrolytes from forage, concentrates and other supplements.
