Pigeons lose fluids with important minerals for the body such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium and chloride during heavy exertion. In cases of long term deficiencies of these electrolytes the pigeon becomes less able to retain fluids, their stamina decreases rapidly and the performance therefore reduces greatly. By giving Recup-Lyt before exertion you give your pigeon the chance to build up fluid and electrolyte reserves. In addition, the fluid-electrolyte balance recovers quickly after the exertion, the lactic acid is discharged more quickly from the muscles and the iron levels in the blood are restored.
