Product info
NEUTRADEX
Neutradex contains sodium acid citrate in a thick sugar syrup base. The acid-citrate salt is a buffering agent. It provides mild neutralising power against alkaline salts, but strong neutralising activity against acid salts that build up in the blood or urine following racing, trialling and handslipping.
* Neutradex is most beneficial when used after a galloping to quickly neutralise lactic acid build-up in the muscles and blood to prevent soreness and discomfort.
* The sodium in Neutradex stimulates the horse to drink which assists after race recovery.
* Neutradex helps avoid dehydration after racing and flushes acid and metabolic wastes from the kidneys.
Usage
Routine Use
Neutradex is recommended as a routine "kidney tonic" after hard racing. It is not recommended for every day use because of its potential to increase the excretion of potassium by alkalinising the urine.
Dose: The standard dose rate is 6mL mixed into the morning milk (or given by syringe over the tongue) for at least the first morning after a race or trial and preferably the two mornings following a hard race.
Note: Do not give Neutradex within 24-36 hours prior to racing. Alkalinisation of the urine may increase the excretion of potassium and the flushing effect may wash-out other pre-race supplements such as B-Complex vitamins, reducing their retention time and benefit.
Neutradex is a caramel-flavoured syrup
Vet advice
• After racing, trialling or hand-slipping provide an adequate warm-down by - walk for a minute or so to allow the dog to regain its breath and then jog on the lead for 150-200 metres to help pump acids out of the muscles and encourage their breakdown as an energy source
• Provide Recharge (10 mL per 250 mL of water) to drink after racing
• Give 6 mL of Neutradex over the tongue or in the feed on return home
• Give 6mL of Neutradex and 2 Rebound tablets over the tongue on the two mornings after racing
