Magnesium Oxide 90%
90% Magnesium oxide – This is a high quality budget alternative to our ultra low iron human pharmaceutical grade magnesium oxide at 99.8% purity.
- Magnesium oxide is the primary ingredient in many of the quality equine calming products on the market.
- Magnesium is needed for more than 325 enzymes within the horse’s body.
- Involved in protein synthesis, so needed for general growth and repair of tissue, e.g. Hooves.
- Required for the maintenance of normal blood circulation within the body, limbs and feet of the horse.
- Useful when magnesium needs boosting in the diet.
- Magnesium is critical for balanced secretion of insulin and glucose uptake.
- It is involved in supporting correct blood sugar levels after carbohydrate intake and adequate levels can support insulin function ( including cresty neck and/or fat deposits).
- Magnesium is essential for proper calcium absorption and is an important mineral in the bone matrix.
- It can also assist in the absorption and metabolism of Vitamins B, C and E.
- Magnesium can support nervousness stressed horses.
- Periods of stress lead to an increased need for magnesium.
- Magnesium is often lacking in equine diets due to processed, preserved, high concentrated feeds.
- The availability of magnesium is low in fast growing, lush grass after periods of rainfall; in acid soils i.e. ‘horse sick pastures’ or artificially fertilised pastures (acid conditions destroy soil microorganisms which are used to make the minerals usable by plants).

Great product, does exactly what it’d supposed to do and keeps my barefoot horses rock crunching all year around. Friendly service, really helpful staff and a pleasure to deal with. Been a customer for about ten years now and that won’t change.
