Hippotrolyte by ESC Laboratoire is a rehydration solution that facilitates the horse's recovery after exercise. The very complete Hippotrolyte formula enriched with electrolytes, minerals and trace elements makes Hippotrolyte the ideal product to accelerate recovery time after exercise or episodes of colic. Hippotrolyte is a source of: Zinc: zinc is an essential trace element in the body. It plays a catalytic role in the functioning of many enzymes and participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and the synthesis of proteins. A zinc deficiency leads to a reduction in exercise capacity. Potassium: Potassium is an electrolyte (like chlorine, calcium and magnesium). Electrolytes are essential because they help provide the energy needed for many bodily functions including the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Magnesium: This essential mineral is not produced by the body. It helps in the fixation of electrolytes (calcium and potassium). A magnesium deficiency increases the difficulty in recovering and in particular the risk of cramps and muscle pain appearing. What to combine the Hippotrolyte care product with? For an enhanced herbal medicine treatment, Hippotrolyte can be supplemented with a treatment of lithothamne, an oceanic algae source of easily assimilated calcium and magnesium. Lithothamne is useful in the event of a deficient diet or demineralization.
