The whole idea behind "re-setting the electrolyte balance" with a patch is absurd to me and there is absolutely no research behind what this product claims to do. I would focus more on diet if you are wanting to address a tying up problem. Just my 2 cents!

Elite Veteran Posts: 999 Location: Sunny So Cal	I don't know what those patches are and have never heard of them. My knowledge of tying up is an electrolyte imbalance. I would give a electrolyte before your ride and after. I like using THElectrolyte because it is a full spectrum. Has really helped my horses stay hydrated and healthy.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 433 Location: The Lone Star State	I already give electrolytes before and after I run just wondered if this would be a better solution.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 304 Location: Up and over to the right	Nope, I wouldn't do it. I asked a dealer about them and I never got a clear answer about what they did or how they worked and what scientific research has been done. Also be careful with the electrolytes, if your horse won't drink with them then the there will be a high concentration in the blood of electrolytes and that can cause problems.
