Summer Games Plus is unique.

This dual-action formula helps to maintain healthy electrolyte levels and support normal stomach pH so horses perform better, recover faster, and remain healthier. 60cc (1 oz).

The amount of supplementation will depend on the level of work and the intensity of the heat and humidity the horse is working in. 60cc tube = 1 oz of Summer Games Electrolyte.

Electrolyte requirements can be determined by measuring sweat loss. Fluid loss can be estimated by measuring body weight loss with this simple formula: 1 kg (2.2 lb) body weight loss = 0.9 liters (approx. 1 quart) body water loss, so an 11-lb body weight loss = approximately 5 liters sweat loss (light work) = 2 oz per day of Summer Games Plus. Weighing your horse before and after a work session can also give you some idea of how much weight or fluid loss has occurred.
