Re: electrolyte supplementation



At the AERC convention several years ago there was a lecture about the
mechanisms for utilizing calcium during an endurance ride.  It had to do with
a form of calcitriol (sp?) that, according to this theory, would be produced
in greater quantities if the horse was stressed with calcium depletion a few
days before the ride.  Are you familiar with this research?  Is there anything
to it?  Does anyone else remember this lecture and corresponding articles in
either Endurance News or Trail Blazer.?  This theory only applied to calcium,
not any other electrolyte.
