NEUTRADEX is an original, palatable muscle recovery supplement, mild diuretic and urinary buffer for horses. It contains sodium acid citrate to:
- Help horses prone to ‘tying up’ and assist with reducing muscle stiffness and soreness
- Help delay the onset of muscle fatigue to improve endurance
- Encourage horses to drink, helping to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance to maintain kidney and bladder function in performance horses
Recommended for:
- High performance athletes in hard training
- Horses with a history of ‘tying up’
- Rehydration after exertion in conjunction with a balanced electrolyte
- Helping to flush toxins and waste products after hard exercise and hence maintain kidney, bladder and urinary tract function
- Young, nervous and heavily muscled horses in work
Why choose Neutradex?
- Scientifically balanced formulation for race recovery, tying up and hard exercise
- Neutralises damaging acid build-up – NEUTRADEX contains sodium acid citrate, a natural bicarbonate precursor to increase the body's natural stores and actively helps neutralise lactic acid before it causes damage.
- Improves hydration, appetite and overall recovery after hard exercise
- Replaces essential sodium salts lost in sweat
Composition:
Each 28 mL dose contains:
- Sodium acid citrate 7.93g
Dosage & Directions for use:
HORSES (450 – 500 KG)
28 mL of NEUTRADEX added to the feed daily. Following hard or fast work or racing, give 50 mL NEUTRADEX® orally (by syringe over the back of the tongue). Horses suffering from dehydration need a supplementary daily ration of electrolytes.
To help prevent tying up:
Give additional 30 mL by mouth after every workout or slow work and increase to 50 mL after any hard work (if horses are prone to muscle soreness and tying up).
To Maintain thirst on fast work days:
Give 50 mL NEUTRADEX over the tongue as soon as possible after very hard or fast exercise to neutralise acid and stimulate drinking.
Race days:
50 mL over the tongue prior to evening meal.
Day after racing:
50 mL over the tongue prior to morning meal.
Pack Sizes & Daily Cost (based on a 500kg horse):
- 1L: 36 days supply at $2.07 per day*
- 5L: 179 days supply at $1.28 per day*
- 10L: 357 days supply at $1.09 per day*
*Based on approx. pricing and dosage, subject to change.
Storage:
Store below 30˚C.
Precautions:
Ensure an adequate supply of cool, clean water is accessible. NEUTRADEX exerts a mild diuretic and neutralising effect on acidic substances which accumulate in the muscles and blood stream. Metabolic acidosis may impair normal muscular function, thereby interfering with performance. Dehydration, which can cause sluggish blood flow and impaired tissue oxygenation, can be effectively assisted by the administration of NEUTRADEX. In horses, NEUTRADEX may also be prescribed as a co-treatment in kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections.
Do not use NEUTRADEX within 24-36 hours before competition. Use immediately after hard work and after warm down exercise is completed, for one to two days. Add to the feed daily or give over the tongue. Ensure fresh water is available at all times after dosing. Use only as directed.

All your questions, answered.




Not sure what rug your horse needs right now? Our free Horse Rug Forecaster checks your local weather and tells you what rug weight your horse needs today, tonight and over the next 3 days. It works anywhere in New Zealand and adjusts for clipped horses and horses that feel the cold.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. Humans need it much warmer, at around 25–30 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, a healthy unclipped horse with shelter usually doesn't need a winter rug until it feels colder than about 5 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition. For advice based on your local forecast, try the Horse Rug Forecaster.
