[RC] Sugar in Electrolytes(was Electrolytes: Are "AccuLytes" OK?) - Stagg_NewmanI used to think sugar in electrolytes was not a good idea. However Dr. Gayle Ecker, a excellent university researcher in Canada who has done much work in this area said the electrolytes need to have sugar with them to help pull them quickly into the horse's system. So I either feed the electrolytes with something like applesauce when I use a non-sugar based electrolyte such as Enduromax or I use a an electrolyte with sugar such as Perform and Win (which Gayle formulated). Note that one has to be careful on the amount as it takes about twice as much Perform and Win by volume to get the same amount of electrolytes as say Enduromax. Sue G. - would be interested to get your views and a more technical explanation.
