OsmoPlex

What is OsmoPlex®?
OsmoPlex® is a specific blend of minerals designed to support osmotic balance and normal cellular pH. There is over 50% Sodium Chloride (salt) in every 80g daily dose of OsmoPlex®. Chloride is the electrolyte which is lost in the greatest amount in heavily sweating horses and Sodium is an important electrolyte, as it is essential for nearly every process. Increasing the Sodium concentration in water in the horse’s body may engage the horse’s thirst drive. This is vital in maintaining hydration, as it encourgages the horse to drink. OsmoPlex® includes seaweed derived calcium especially rich in the minerals magnesium and calcium. OsmoPlex® also includes the mineral Potassium. These minerals support normal cellular growth as well as muscle and nerve function. Inclusion of Glucose may assist with the absorption of Sodium and increase palatability.

Electrolyte and Hydration Facts
• Just 2% dehydration can cause loss of performance
• Low to medium level exercise can cause horses to lose 5-10L of sweat per hour
• Inadequate sodium intake can promote or aggravate anhidrosis (inability to sweat normally)
• It can take 72-96 hours for a badly dehydrated horse to fully recover

Feeding Guidelines

 Add to feed twice daily

 Morning feed: 1 x 40g scoop

 Evening feed: 1 x 40g scoop

In hot weather or after intensive exercise increase evening amount to 2 scoops (80g)

Based on a 500kg horse

Horses supplemented with OsmoPlex do not require additional salt.

 Always provide access to clean water.

 A 20kg OsmoPlex will last a 500kg/1100lb horse 250 days on the maintenance rate. Safe for horses or ponies with metabolic issues. Suitable for competition.
