Magnesium Citrate offers a bio-available source of magnesium at a rate of 16% elemental magnesium (640 mg / 4g teaspoon).
Magnesium is very important for the function of cells, nerves, muscle, bones, and the heart. Sometimes horses lose magnesium due to poor diet, stomach ulcers, or using diuretics for a sporting event.
Supplementing with magnesium enhances the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats. May also help calm the mind of an excitable horse. Some horses with certain metabolic or circulation issues may also benefit from extra magnesium in the diet.
