Added Minerals:
Magnesium
Critical for muscle and nerve function, regulating fluid balance for sustained hydration, and ensuring cellular energy production via ATP synthesis for sustained stamina.
Deficiency leads to muscle spasms, lethargy, and cardiac dysfunction.
Potassium
Essential for transmission of nerve signaling for proper muscle function, maintenance of desired blood pressure, and metabolic regulation for energy.
Deficiency leads to muscle weakness, lethargy, and cardiac dysfunction.
Sodium
Maintains proper cellular fluid balance, assists in nutrient and glucose absorption in the gut, and ensures strong nerve synapses.
Deficiency leads to weakness and neurological/cognitive dysfunction.
Other Components:
Dextrose (glucose)
Enhances mineral and electrolyte absorption, ensuring rapid water uptake leading to quicker rehydration. It also provides a rapid source of energy for weak and lethargic dogs.
Biotin (vitamin b7)
Maintains a healthy coat and skin - preventing dryness in arid climates - and promotes healthy paw pads and stronger nails for enjoying longer, more rugged trails.
Citrate and Chloride Anions
Maintains proper blood and body pH levels, Promotes gut and urinary tract health, and prevents the formation of bladder stones in dehydrated dogs.
