[RC] Sugar in Electrolytes(was Electrolytes: Are "AccuLytes" OK?) - Stagg_Newman

I used to think sugar in electrolytes was not a good idea.
However Dr. Gayle Ecker, a excellent university researcher in Canada
who has done much work in this area said the electrolytes
need to have sugar with them to help pull them quickly into
the horse's system.  So I either feed the electrolytes with
something like applesauce when I use a non-sugar based
electrolyte such as Enduromax or I use a an electrolyte
with sugar such as Perform and Win (which Gayle formulated).

Note that one has to be careful on the amount as it takes about
twice as much Perform and Win by volume to get the
same amount of electrolytes as say Enduromax.

Sue G. - would be interested to get your views and a more
technical explanation.
