Summer Games Electrolyte Paste for Horses (60 cc)

Summer Games Electrolyte Paste

Summer Games Plus is a specialized electrolyte paste designed to support normal gastric acid levels while replenishing key electrolytes and trace minerals lost through sweating. This dual-action formula helps maintain a healthy stomach pH by coating sensitive gastric membranes, supporting hydration, enhancing performance, and accelerating horse recovery. Initially developed for equine athletes at the 1996 Olympic Games, it mimics equine sweat composition, supplying electrolytes in optimal proportions for effective replenishment.

Ingredients

Electrolyte Profile (per 60cc tube)

• Calcium: 0.4%-0.8% (200-500 mg)
