Too much calcium brittle bones, among other issues. It's called Hypercalcemia

Would NeverBrokeABone consider using this stuff cheating? 🤔

As far as I can tell, that community talked a big game about the dietary reasons why their bones might be strong but were generally inactive people who never pushed their bodies (and bones) anywhere close to their limits.

Also, this stuff is made for horses. Their entire body and nutricial needs are completely different. I for example often have a calcium and vitamin D shortage so I need to take supplements next to my healthy diet. But the amounts I need are completely different to what a horse needs. Too much vitamin D is toxic, too much calcium brittle your bones. I can take paracetamol, so can donkeys, but cats would die from it. Taking supplements that are made for animals can be toxic and can be way to high dosages. Like with this guy, who has a tingling skin because of it, and probably causes damage to his kidneys and or liver, among other organs.

...we don't do that here

Not if someone in CDC (new management I mean) has a stake in horse electrolyte manufacturer.

OK it was what I expected.

TLDR; the "horse" part of this wasn't really the problem other than that it's easier to purchase an unhinged quantity at a veterinary supply store. If he was reconstituting to the proper strength (being sober would have helped with that) the electrolytes themselves wouldn't have been an issue (and honestly are actually beneficial when imbibing).

I figured it had to be, iirc from reading veterinary metabolic panel normal ranges most of us placental mammals have roughly the same electrolyte balances. Afaik it goes back to whether you have a common ancestor only before or also after leaving the ocean and that your balance is reflective of the ocean's balance at that time.

It sounds like there were a few things that might have built up if he'd kept drinking it in it's intended strength chronically but the core issue was him drinking essentially a straight salt slurry.

Wow - what a twist! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what a show!

Wait is cobalt a nutrient?

you can dilute it still

mixing a bit of table salt and sugar in a glass of water will do pretty much the same thing and cost less than both of those.

Is this something horses actually like, or was it put there knowing very well humans would be consuming it

Just don’t use too much…

My biggest shock here is that it's an actual product and not slop hallucinogenics.

I used to work in a baked goods factory where scrapped product and ingredients got sold to a pig feed supplier

They constantly told the workers not to put any product that had touched the floor into the pig feed bins (the floor, aside from being the fucking gross floor, often had metal shavings, machine oil, etc. on it) but everyone ignored that rule and management barely tried to enforce it

Another reason to feel bad for factory farmed animals. Those pigs probably have lacerations throughout their digestive system. :(

What does she have to do with it?
