As temperatures rise, so does the need for a more strategic approach to equine hydration. Heat, humidity, travel, and intense work can lead to excessive sweating in horsesācausing the loss of not just water, but critical electrolytes. Thatās whereĀ Hydracel Advanced Electrolyte Replacer from Value Plus becomes an essential part of your horse's summer management plan.
Hereās why Hydracel is a must-have for the warmer months ā¬ļø
š”ļø The Challenge: Heat Stress & Electrolyte Loss
Horses cool themselves by sweating, but unlike humans, they lose significant amounts of electrolytesāparticularly sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesiumāwith every drop.
Left unaddressed, electrolyte loss can result in:
- Dehydration
- Muscle fatigue and cramping
- Reduced performance
- Slower recovery
- Decreased appetite and water intake
These issues are compounded in hot, humid weather and when horses are in training, competition, or travelling.
š§ The Solution: Hydracel Advanced from Value Plus
Hydracel Advanced is a scientifically formulated electrolyte replacer designed to:
- Replenish essential electrolyte ions lost through sweat
- Encourage fluid intake and restore thirst response
- Support post-exercise recovery and performance
It goes beyond basic electrolyte replacers with two unique, functional ingredients:
š§Ŗ What Makes Hydracel Advanced Different?
1. Palatinoseā¢ ā Slow-Release Energy Support
Palatinoseā¢ is a natural, functional carbohydrate thatās gently hydrolysed to promote smooth digestion. It provides a balanced release of energy, avoiding the energy spikes and crashes associated with traditional sugarsāperfect for horses in sustained work or recovery.
2. Betaine Anhydrous ā Cellular Hydration Hero
Betaine is a natural osmolytic compound that protects cells from dehydration and heat stress. It works at a cellular level to help maintain fluid balance, cell integrity, and muscle function. Hydracel uses Betaine Anhydrous, the naturally derived form, not synthetic.
Together, these ingredients help support:
ā
Efficient hydration

Muscle recovery

Nerve function
