Potassium Gluconate - Feed Ingredient
Potassium gluconate is a mineral compound consisting of potassium bound to gluconic acid, a naturally occurring substance derived from glucose. It appears as a white, water-soluble powder and is used in nutritional supplements and fortified feeds.
In equine nutrition, potassium gluconate serves as a bioavailable source of potassium, an essential electrolyte involved in nerve conduction, muscle function, acid-base balance, and cellular hydration. It is often used in supplement blends to support electrolyte balance, particularly in horses experiencing sweat loss due to heat, exercise, or stress.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Potassium Gluconate as an ingredient.
