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 encourages 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.

INGREDIENTS: A proprietary blend [Sodium chloride, Potassium chloride, Sodium bicarbonate, Magnesium sulphate, Magnesium oxide, Seaweed derived calcium, Dextrose, Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)] 40g

Hydration and Sweating

"I had been having a few respiratory issues with my top horse and wanted to make sure that he was back feeling his best as soon as possible. I had tried a few other products with no luck, until I tried Equitec Osmoplex. Within just a week of using Osmoplex he was nearly back to normal his sweating had increased and his puffing had decreased. He was suffering anhydrosis. His first weekend back competing, on Osmoplex he placed top 4 in every class including jumping only one of two clear first rounds in the Grand Prix. I will certainly be continuing to use Equitec Osmoplex and hope to try a few of the other products due to the great success I have had with Osmoplex. To top it off the team at Equitec could not have been any more helpful! Thank you Equitec!"

Electrolytes For Fussy Drinkers

“In July this year I started using Equitec Performance Products ‘OsmoPlex’ on CP Ellibell. She has always sweated alot and was fussy with drinking on long trips and at competitions. On her first big trip away after starting OsmoPlex to a competition in October, she was a different horse! People were commenting on how much she had matured in appearance, she was drinking and she was jumping her heart out. To say I was impressed is an understatement and to top it off, Ellibell won the Bronze Final on the final day of the Tamworth World Cup event.”
