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.

    Highly recommend

    Posted by Stacy on 26th Dec 2015

    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!

    Couldn’t be happier

    Posted by Liz on 3rd Feb 2015

    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!

    Results are better than I expected

    Posted by Lorraine on 6th May 2013

    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

    Amazing the difference it made!

    Posted by Roxanne on 18th Feb 2013

    I started feeding my mare magnesium 5000 during show season, as she would get very tight and anxious. It was amazing the difference it made! I’ve been using it ever since.

    Very happy with this product

    Posted by Karen on 14th Dec 2012

    We have been feeding Magnesium 5000 MVP to our high strung mares for over two years now. Within a week after adding Magnesium to their diets we were seeing less excitability and the mares were easier to handle. We are very happy with this product.
