Sodium Citrate
Sodium Citrate
Sodium citrate for equine use is a supplement that buffers lactic acid, reduces muscle stiffness (tying up), enhances, and promotes hydration by encouraging horses to drink, making it vital for performance horses to recover from hard work, maintain electrolyte balance, and support kidney/bladder function. It works by neutralizing acid build-up in muscles and blood, replacing sodium, and stimulating thirst.
Key Benefits in Horses:
- Muscle Recovery: Neutralizes lactic acid, preventing stiffness, soreness, and delaying fatigue, especially for horses prone to "tying up"
- Enhanced Performance: Buffering acid helps maintain optimal performance during strenuous exercise.
- Hydration & Electrolytes: Stimulates thirst and provides sodium, an essential electrolyte, to help correct imbalances and maintain fluid balance, supporting kidney and urinary tract health.
- Acidosis/Dehydration Treatment: Helps manage acidosis and rehydration after exertion
