Magnesium 5,000™ pellets support proper muscle function and a healthy nervous system in horses. This essential mineral is required for bone growth, metabolic function and healthy hooves. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to have a calming effect in nervous horses.

 

Magnesium plays many roles in the horse’s body. It is involved in the formation of bone and protein synthesis, helps to maintain electrolyte balance, influences nervous system regulation and is a co-factor for a number of enzymes. Low magnesium levels or deficiency can contribute to nervousness, depression, abnormal behavior, muscle tremors, lack of coordination, respiratory problems, growth failure and more. Magnesium supplementation may lessen abnormal fat deposits such as cresty neck which could lead to improvements in metabolic health.

Magnesium (Mg) is a macro mineral that is frequently recommended for a wide range of equine health conditions. Magnesium helps to maintain normal muscle and nerve function, a healthy heart, healthy immune system and strong bones. Magnesium aids to regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Since a symptom of magnesium deficiency is agitation or anxiety, it is included in many calming supplements.

 

My horse is always nervous and someone suggested I try magnesium. Can this help him? 

MVP:  Horses who are excessively nervous, tense, edgy or unfocused may be deficient in magnesium. Magnesium plays an important role in normal nervous system, metabolic and muscle function.

 

 

I read up online that magnesium is great for horses who experience back stiffness and who are lacking in interest in working, will this product be helpful to eliminating back pain?

 

MVP: Magnesium helps to support normal muscle contractions, so Magnesium 5,000™ may provide support for horses that have muscle soreness. If your horse has back stiffness or seems to be uninterested in working, we recommend working with your veterinarian to determine if there is an underlying issue that may need to be addressed.

    Magnesium 5000 pellets

    Posted by KAROL on 7th Mar 2021

    My 8 year old QH gelding was experiencing muscle spasms, sore back and seemed unable to fully relax. After speaking with my Vet and sharing photos of the contracted muscles he advised I try a Magnesium supplement. My first try was not palatable to my Boy but MVP's Mag 5000 was quickly gobbled up and within a week and 1/2 I noted how relaxed he was. It was like a miracle for him ! He has been on MVP Mag 5000 for 6 months and he is doing amazing, nothing seems to bother him and he has not had a muscle episode in the past 5 1/2 months...VERY PLEASED WITH THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT and I have started my 7 year old Mare on it too.

    I take magnesium for myself and I thought it would be a good idea to try it for my horse. He loves it and he is feeling great!

    Magnesium 5000 pellets

    Posted by Patty eernisse on 2nd Jul 2019

    I was looking for a product to try for my 12 yr old QH, a bottle-fed orphan baby, never confident/always nervous and extremely over-reactive. Having no luck with training and exposing to things to make less scary I decided to give your product a try with doubts. I am very pleased with how he has changed since being on the magnesium pellets! He is overall calmer, happier and more focused when I ride. Can’t wait to take him to next show and see how he does. Recommended to few friends with anxious horses as well. Thank u from us both!! Wishing would hav found and tried years ago

    Both horses responding well

    Posted by Rick on 15th Apr 2018

    We give this daily with morning feed to both of our horses. Generally feeds and hay do not contain adequate levels of magnesium. After confirming not a training issue, a friend recommended magnesium supplement to help our horses nervous and distracted behaviors which can be symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Both horses responding well. Healthy coat, temperament and better attitude. Recommend.

    This product is perfect

    Posted by Kara on 22nd Jul 2017

    This product is perfect for my horse for muscle function support. Easier to feed than a powder, the pellets provide the high levels of Mg my horse requires without turning him off his feed.

    Great results

    Posted by Pamela on 26th Sep 2016

    I have been using this product on an older horse and also a younger nervous horse with great results on both!! Calmed the nervous horse down considerably. The older horse developed soft soles but after using MVP magnesium 5000 my farrier noticed his hooves are healthier and he is not as tender. I love this product and will continue using it!!!!

    Exceeded my expectations

    Posted by Penny on 7th Apr 2016

    I have been very impressed with this product. I am feeding to a mare and a gelding - both easily eat this product. Very simple to top dress on their grain. On my gelding I have noticed a significant difference in him. His muscles are soft and supple vs. tight, he is not so intense, he is relaxed and overall much calmer. I have not started riding my mare yet, so cannot comment on her reaction. I did also try to feed to two additional horses - a mare and a gelding. Both ate initially for the first couple feedings and then completely stopped eating it. The mare will simply just walk away from her grain if it is mixed in there and the gelding will pick through his grain leaving every pellet. I removed this from both of their feedings and they went back to eating normal. So I have two horses that love it and two that hate it. But most importantly - the one horse that I really wanted to see results on has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this product. I am only giving a 4 star rating only because I had two horses that I could not get to eat this product.
