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.

Multi-Purpose!
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.

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!!!!
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.
Love this product! Helps my mares muscles a ton and she is a picky eater and has no problem with it.
I have been feeding this to my 10 year old warmblood mare for a year now and seen really good results. It is now a staple supplement for us and I highly recommend it to keep muscles loose and supple and calm nerves. It is also a good value.
Recently switched over to Magnesium 5,000 from Mag 3,000, definitely easier to feed in pellet form. My horse will never be without it. Helps loosen and relax his muscles. Definitely a must in my feed room!
My young mare can be very over reactive and it was suggested to put her on mag, I came across this and thought it should be just as good as any calmer supplement on the market, I couldn’t be any happier. She is doing great and will continue to use this.
My horse is very picky about eating most supplements but he loves this one. I love the pellets as there is less waste and I feel as though my horse gets the full dosage!
I’ve been MVP Magnesium 5000 for about 6 months Ease of administration is nice. Results are better than I expected. I’ve rescued the same 20year old gelding twice. Too hot to handle has been his long history. Proper nutrition, calm but forward handling has helped. But,this product used daily has really settled this horse and softened him for more listening and less reacting. I added this supplement to 4 more horses and the results are 4 more calm horses
