"There's equal parts good and not-so-good for this product, so I created a handy little list to make it simpler.
PROS
*Cost effective
*Powder form: can be top-dressed on grain or mixed into water buckets
*Palatable (it smells and tastes good -- don't ask how I know first-hand)
CONS
*Powder can be easily nosed aside from grain if your horse doesn't like it
*Contains dextrose (sugar), which is a no-no for any horse with metabolic issues
*A single serving size is a LOT of powder
I'd recommend the product to anyone who likes to mix electrolytes into their horses' water buckets... but only if the horses aren't at risk of Cushing's or Insulin Resistance"

"This brand does the job and my 22 year old thoroughbred seems to like it. He usually sifts through his feed around the supplements but he will eat everything in his bucket if this is in there. I keep him on this year-round in Florida"

"The three horses who are on this daily during the hottest part of the summer love the flavor- no problems with palatability. One of them is a bit picky about feed through supplements and she licks every piece up. It definitely seems to help them deal with the 95 degree + temperatures and high humidty in central VA."

"My Thoroughbred Rush smells an electrolyte from a mile away. I have tried everything and he just refuses to eat anything with any form of electrolyte on it. Exer-Lyte solved my problem and Rush is now getting his needed electrolytes - He'll eat it. I recommend this to anyone who has a finicky eater."

"My thoroughbred has no trouble eating this (the apple flavored one). He was actually drinking so much water that I had to cut his dose down to a 1/2 scoop once a day."

This is a great product!

"I tried other electrolytes on my 8 year old Paso Fino, and they didn't seem to give him nearly as much energy in the extreme FL heat as this one does. He is now willingly working, and he doesn't get tired as easily anymore. It's a great product, and I recommend it to anyone looking for more energy and happier horses!"

Exer-Lyte Review

July 28, 2004
ByTasha
fromOregon, USA
"So far it's working great! My TB gelding kept getting overheated during a summer heatwave and I started adding Exer-Lyte to his supplements. He's drinking more and seems to be much more comfortable. And after seeing how my gelding was doing, a couple of other people at my barn have started using Exer-Lyte for their horses."
