WHAT IS NEUTRADEX®?
NEUTRADEX® is an original, palatable muscle recovery supplement, mild diuretic and urinary buffer for horses. It contains sodium acid citrate to:
Help horses prone to ‘tying up’ and assist with reducing muscle stiffness and soreness
Help delay the onset of muscle fatigue to improve endurance
Encourage horses to drink, helping to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance to maintain kidney and bladder function in performance horses
RECOMMENDED FOR
High performance athletes in hard training
Horses with a history of ‘tying up’
Rehydration after exertion in conjunction with a balanced electrolyte
Helping to flush toxins and waste products after hard exercise and hence maintain kidney, bladder and urinary tract function
Young, nervous and heavily muscled horses in work
WHY CHOOSE NEUTRADEX®?
Scientifically balanced formulation for race recovery, tying up and hard exercise
Neutralises damaging acid build-up – NEUTRADEX® contains sodium acid citrate, a natural bicarbonate precursor to increase the body’s natural stores and actively helps neutralise lactic acid before it causes damage.
Improves hydration, appetite and overall recovery after hard exercise
Replaces essential sodium salts lost in sweat
COMPOSITION
Each 28 mL dose contains:
Sodium acid citrate 7.93 g
DOSAGE & DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Horses (450 - 500 kg)
28 mL of NEUTRADEX® added to the feed daily. Following hard or fast work or racing, give 50 mL NEUTRADEX® orally (by syringe over the back of the tongue). Horses suffering from dehydration need a supplementary daily ration of electrolytes.
To Help Prevent Tying Up
Give additional 30 mL by mouth after every workout or slow work and increase to 50 mL after any hard work (if horses are prone to muscle soreness and tying up).
To Maintain Thirst on Fast Work Days
Give 50 mL NEUTRADEX® over the tongue as soon as possible after very hard or fast exercise to neutralise acid and stimulate drinking.
Race Days
50 mL over the tongue prior to evening meal.
Day After Racing
50 mL over the tongue prior to morning meal.
STORAGE
Store below 30˚C.
PRECAUTIONS
Ensure an adequate supply of cool, clean water is accessible. NEUTRADEX® exerts a mild diuretic and neutralising effect on acidic substances which accumulate in the muscles and blood stream. Metabolic acidosis may impair normal muscular function, thereby interfering with performance. Dehydration, which can cause sluggish blood flow and impaired tissue oxygenation, can be effectively assisted by the administration of NEUTRADEX®. In horses, NEUTRADEX® may also be prescribed as a co-treatment in kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections.
Use immediately after hard work and after warm down exercise is completed, for one to two days. Add to the feed daily or give over the tongue. Ensure fresh water is available at all times after dosing. Use only as directed.
