Race Recovery Paste
Race Recovery Paste is innovative electrolyte supplements designed specifically for horses given furosemide (Lasix®). Use of furosemide causes electrolyte loss and imbalance through increased urination. When coupled with the electrolyte losses that occur naturally with sweating, total electrolyte depletion can be significant following intense exercise. Without proper electrolyte replenishment, complete physiological recovery may be delayed, setting the stage for longer intervals between races.
Race Recovery reduces the downtime between bouts of intense exercise by replacing key electrolytes, including calcium and magnesium. Research at Kentucky Equine Research (KER) found that horses given furosemide require additional supplementation following exertion to maintain optimal electrolyte balance.

WHY RACE RECOVERY PASTE?
In a series of studies conducted by Kentucky Equine Research scientists measured the effect of furosemide on urine and faecal excretion of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chloride in unexercised and exercised mature Thoroughbred geldings.
Furosemide causes a substantial loss of minerals, including a 40- to 50-fold increase in 4-hour urinary sodium and chloride loss and a sustained calcium loss over several days. With Race Recovery, mineral losses are entirely reversible. Race Recovery stimulates thirst and replaces body weight quickly. Race Recovery Powder is suitable for use as a daily electrolyte supplement.
Break away from the pack with targeted electrolyte supplementation.
Provides horses exercised on furosemide with targeted electrolyte supplementation
Includes highly digestible forms of calcium and magnesium, two key minerals
Palatable paste and powder formulas ensure consumption
In studies conducted by Kentucky Equine Research, horses given Race Recovery drank more and maintained their bodyweight following Lasix administration and exercise.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS
Administer one tube (60 g) of Race Recovery Paste one to two hours after racing, or as soon as the horse returns to its stall, and a second tube later that night or the morning following the race. Beginning the day after the race, feed one scoop (60 g) of Race Recovery Powder twice a day mixed thoroughly in feed as the horse’s daily electrolyte supplement.
For example:
Post-race return to stable: Give 1 Race Recovery Paste
Dinner: Top-dress 60g Race Recovery Powder on meal
Late night/early next morning: Give 1 Race Recovery Paste
Next 5 days: Give 60g Race Recovery powder twice a day top-dressed on feed
Regular training: Give 60g Race Recovery Powder per day top-dressed on feed
In racehorses, we recommend stopping this product 24 hours prior to racing.
