Virbac Recharge for Horses

Recharge for Horses

The “sports drink” for horses – concentrated electrolytes and glucose to support rapid rehydration following sweating, travelling and exercise.

Recharge for Horses is a highly palatable apple-flavoured liquid electrolyte and glucose supplement formulated to help replace electrolytes lost through sweat and encourage fluid intake.

Ideal for performance horses, travelling horses and horses experiencing significant sweat loss, Recharge provides a convenient way to support hydration and electrolyte balance before, during and after periods of increased physical demand.

It can be diluted into drinking water or administered orally over the tongue according to label directions.

Electrolyte & Hydration Support

Horses can lose substantial quantities of electrolytes and fluid through sweat, particularly during strenuous exercise, prolonged travelling and hot or humid conditions.

Recharge provides concentrated electrolyte supplementation to support:

• Normal hydration and body fluid balance
• Replacement of electrolytes lost through sweating
• Normal muscle and nerve function
• Temperature regulation
• Normal cardiovascular function
• Exercise and travel recovery

Encourages Fluid Intake

Recharge is formulated to help stimulate the horse's natural thirst response, encouraging increased water consumption following electrolyte and fluid losses.

This makes it particularly useful when horses need additional hydration support following exercise, sweating or travelling.

Added Glucose

Recharge contains glucose to provide a readily available source of energy while also supporting the intestinal absorption of electrolytes and water.

The combination of glucose and electrolytes makes Recharge a convenient oral rehydration supplement for hardworking horses.
