Excelis DRINK™

Hydration & Recovery Support

Replace. Rehydrate. Recover.

Hydration is not simply about getting a horse to drink more water.

True hydration depends on the horse’s ability to retain fluid, replace minerals lost in sweat, move water into the cells, maintain normal nerve and muscle function, and recover after work, travel, heat, or stress.

Excelis DRINK™ is a complete daily hydration and electrolyte formula designed to support that entire process.

It provides targeted sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, calcium, taurine, betaine, and antioxidant support to help horses maintain normal fluid balance, replace sweat losses, and remain comfortable, responsive, and ready to perform.

Why DRINK Is Different

Many electrolyte products focus only on replacing salt.

That is important, but it is only one part of hydration.

A horse must also be able to:

• Absorb water
• Hold water within the body
• Maintain electrolyte balance
• Support normal nerve transmission
• Preserve muscular function
• Recover after exercise
• Adapt to heat, travel, and changing conditions

DRINK was developed to support all of these systems together.

It is not simply an electrolyte powder.

It is a complete hydration and recovery formula.

What the Horse Actually Needs

Fluid Balance

Water moves constantly between the bloodstream, tissues, digestive tract, and cells.

When a horse sweats, it loses both water and electrolytes. Replacing only water can leave the mineral imbalance unresolved.

DRINK provides the foundational minerals required to support normal fluid distribution and hydration throughout the body.

Electrolyte Replacement

Horse sweat contains significant amounts of sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

These minerals are essential for:

• Nerve signaling
• Muscle contraction
• Muscle release
• Heart function
• Cellular communication
• Fluid balance
• Recovery

If losses are not replaced, the horse may become fatigued, flat, tight, weak, slow to recover, or less willing to drink.

DRINK replaces the major electrolytes horses lose during work, heat, travel, and stress.

Cellular Hydration

A horse can drink water and still lack ideal hydration at the cellular level.

Taurine and betaine help support fluid movement, osmotic balance, and cellular water retention.

This matters because muscle, nerve, and metabolic function all depend on cells maintaining the correct fluid and mineral balance.

DRINK supports hydration where it matters most: inside the working cell.

Recovery

Exercise, heat, and transport create more than fluid loss.

They also create oxidative stress, muscular demand, electrolyte shifts, and increased recovery requirements.

DRINK supports the horse after work by helping restore fluid balance, replenish minerals, support normal muscle function, and improve readiness for the next effort.

The DRINK Support Matrix

Celtic Sea Salt

Provides a foundational source of sodium and chloride.

These are the primary minerals lost in sweat and are essential for thirst response, fluid retention, nerve transmission, and normal muscular function.

Potassium Chloride

Potassium supports normal cellular fluid balance, nerve activity, and muscle contraction.

It is particularly important in horses that sweat heavily or consume limited fresh forage.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium supports neuromuscular function, normal muscle relaxation, cellular energy production, and electrolyte balance.

The citrate form also provides a readily usable source for daily hydration support.

Calcium Citrate

Calcium is essential for muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and normal cellular communication.

It works in close relationship with magnesium and other electrolytes.

Taurine

Taurine supports cellular hydration, electrolyte movement, calcium regulation, and neuromuscular stability.

It is especially valuable for working horses, horses exposed to heat, and horses that need better fluid retention and recovery.

Betaine

Betaine functions as an osmolyte, helping cells maintain normal water balance during heat, exertion, dehydration, and other stressors.

It also supports metabolic efficiency and recovery.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C provides antioxidant support and helps protect tissues during exercise, travel, heat, and environmental stress.

Ideal For

Excelis DRINK is appropriate for:

• Performance horses
• Racehorses
• Horses in heavy training
• Horses traveling or competing
• Horses working in hot or humid conditions
• Heavy sweaters
• Horses recovering after exercise
• Horses with inconsistent water intake
• Horses exposed to seasonal heat
• Horses needing daily electrolyte support
• Horses that become flat or slow to recover
• Horses of any age or breed with increased hydration demands

Performance Horses

Performance horses need hydration that supports more than sweat replacement.

They require consistent nerve function, muscular response, recovery, and readiness from one training session to the next.

For the performance horse, DRINK supports:

Hydration. Muscle function. Recovery. Consistency. Resilience.

Racehorses

Racehorses can lose substantial fluid and electrolytes during training, racing, and transport.

Their muscles must maintain rapid nerve signaling, energy production, and electrolyte balance under intense demand.

For the racehorse, DRINK supports:

Sweat replacement. Cellular hydration. Muscular function. Recovery. Repeated effort.

Travel Horses

Travel can reduce water intake, alter feeding schedules, increase stress, and contribute to dehydration.

For the traveling horse, DRINK supports:

Water intake. Fluid retention. Electrolyte balance. Digestive hydration. Recovery after arrival.

Horses Working in Heat

Heat and humidity dramatically increase sweat loss.

In hot conditions, the horse may lose large amounts of sodium, chloride, potassium, and water even during moderate work.

For horses in the heat, DRINK supports:

Thermoregulation. Electrolyte replacement. Cellular hydration. Muscle function. Heat resilience.

What Owners and Trainers May Notice

With consistent use and appropriate water access, owners may notice:

• Better drinking behavior
• More consistent hydration
• Improved recovery after work
• Less post-exercise fatigue
• Better tolerance of heat and humidity
• Improved muscular comfort
• More consistent energy
• Better readiness for the next training session
• Improved resilience during travel and competition
• More dependable performance in demanding conditions

Daily Use Versus Increased Demand

DRINK can be used as a daily hydration foundation.

It becomes especially important during:

• Intense training
• Hot weather
• Heavy sweating
• Long-distance travel
• Competition
• Recovery periods
• Feed or environment changes
• Illness or reduced water intake
• Seasonal heat transitions

Daily support helps maintain the horse before a hydration problem becomes visible.

Feeding Directions

Feed according to the directions on the product label.

Provide daily as part of the horse’s normal feeding program, or increase according to label directions during travel, heat, training, competition, and recovery.

Always provide unlimited access to clean, fresh water.

Do not offer concentrated electrolytes to a horse without access to water.

The DRINK Difference

DRINK does not merely replace salt.

It supports the complete hydration process:

• Water balance
• Electrolyte replacement
• Cellular hydration
• Neuromuscular function
• Recovery
• Heat and travel resilience
