Re: [RC] Liqui Lyte - TypeF \(Jackie Floyd\)I've been using Ascend Liquid Performance Electrolytes by Farnam that are in a .8 fl. oz foil pack on rides. I either put it in my crew bag or carry it on my saddle and use and old syringe to squeeze it into. That is, if Tank doesn't eat it on his food, which he has no problem with. It's a very small amount but it's "supposed" to be a whole day's worth, if you were giving it to them on a daily basis. Tank will usually eat whatever electrolyte powder I happen to throw in his beet pulp at lunch. But on the occasion that he doesn't, he gets the Ascend. But then, I'm not into giving him electrolytes every two hours. He just gets it at lunch. But then, we ride pretty slow. It costs 99c a packet singlely, but you can get it in a box of 30 at ValleyVet.com for .73c each. You might be able to get it cheaper somewhere else. I really haven't taken the time to see how it compares to all the others. But for me it's a convenient thing to carry around. :) Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: "April" <endurancerider@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 9:03 PM Subject: [RC] Liqui Lyte Anybody use Liqui Lyte electrolytes? I have used the paste with some success, but am looking for a cheaper alternative. Since LyteNow seems to work for my horse, I was thinking that the liquid might also work, but it's a huge price difference. Around $2.75 for a 20 cc dose of the paste vs about 35 cents for 1 oz of the liquid. I have ordered some Perform N Win, but that's pricey, too. $1 for 4 oz and that's a lot of volume to get down a horse. Thanks, April Nashville, TN PS. Thanks to those that answered my probiotics question. The probiotics seemed to work great for him this weekend. Still gotta get the electrolytes worked out. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
