[RC] Re: [RC] [Consider This] Chloride – The Neglected Electrolyte - Sisu West Ranch
Makes sense to me. It is congruent with
admonitions not to use electrolytes that contain bicarbonite. The problem
is it is impossible to supplement chloride ions without also supplimenting cat
ions at the same time. Choices here are rather limited: Na, K, Ca, Mg, or
H. Now we can't feed H because this is HCl (hydrochloric acid) and would
be bad for the stomach. CaCl2 is quite hygroscopic and would make a mess
of the powdered electrolytes. I can't remember about MgCl2, but I'd bet
that feeding bunches of that is rather of a problem also.
We also learned last week that feeding to much
NaCl or KCl is also bad.
I guess I don't see anything here that would guide
me in proper race day practices.
