Magnesium 2.44g (from magnesium oxide) Calcium 140mg (from calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide)


Product Description

Magnesium is an essential mineral, playing important roles in many areas of metabolism. One of its major roles is as a co-factor in the enzymes involved in nerve and neuro-muscular transmission � helping to regulate nerve to nerve and nerve to muscle transmission and communication.

A lack of magnesium can result in nerve and neuro-muscular excitability, resulting in a tense, nervous horse.

Stressful situations such as strenuous activity and competition, travelling, prolonged stabling and lack of grazing, or new environments may further increase magnesium requirements as stress levels rise.

Magnitude provides supplemental magnesium, together with controlled amounts of calcium (another key mineral in nerve and muscle metabolism), to help promote healthy nerve function and reduce tension, enabling the horse to focus and concentrate.

What are the benefits of Magnitude?

Magnitude provides magnesium from Magnesium Oxide, which is produced from calcined magnesite, extracted from natural deposits in the earth.

The Magnesium Oxide used in Magnitude typically contains 51-54% elemental magnesium.

  • Natural source of magnesium to supplement low or marginal levels in forage.
  • A very small daily serving of 5g provides 2.44g elemental magnesium, easily mixed in feed for fussy feeders.
  • Safe use with most typical fortified performance and leisure feeds and forage.

Colour Change

*Slight colour change - but the same great product, now with even more quality assurance!

We are pleased to confirm that there is no difference in the magnesium levels, or the chemical source of the magnesium used (magnesium oxide - MgO), only in the physical form of MgO we are now using.

This change in physical form (to the slightly more granular form, with a pale beige colour) has arisen because we are delighted to report that we are now manufacturing Equine America (UK) products in the UK, using certified facilities with the highest standards of safety and production. Although Equine America (UK) products have always been free from prohibited substances, our new UFAS and BETA NOPS certifications will provide further reassurance in the light of recent high profile prohibited substances cases, giving our customers peace of mind regarding FEI, BEF and BHA prohibited substances, enabling full traceability.

In order to comply with the rules and regulations regarding these certifications, we are only able to use certain suppliers, who are also certified, and have had to make a change to our supply of magnesium oxide, so we are now using the lower dust, slightly granular form, which is pale beige.

If you have any queries, please no hesitate to contact the Office.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    What is the daily serving size of Magnitude and how much elemental magnesium does it provide?
    The recommended daily serving is 5g for a 500kg horse. Each 5g serving provides 2.44g of elemental magnesium, sourced from Magnesium Oxide.
    What is Magnitude made from?
    Magnitude is composed of Magnesium Oxide (97.5%) and Calcium Carbonate (2.5%). The Magnesium Oxide is produced from calcined magnesite, extracted from natural deposits in the earth.
    Is Magnitude suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations?
    Yes. Equine America holds BETA NOPS and UFAS accreditation, which means Magnitude is manufactured to standards that minimise the risk of prohibited substances, making it suitable for horses competing under FEI, BEF, and BHA rules.
    Why has the colour of Magnitude changed?
    Equine America has moved production to UK-certified facilities to achieve UFAS and BETA NOPS certification. This required a change to a certified supplier of Magnesium Oxide, resulting in a slightly more granular, pale beige product. The magnesium levels and the chemical source (Magnesium Oxide) remain unchanged.
    Why might a horse need magnesium supplementation?
    Magnesium plays a key role in nerve and neuro-muscular transmission. Stressful situations such as strenuous activity, competition, travelling, prolonged stabling, lack of grazing, or new environments can increase magnesium requirements. A shortfall may result in a tense or nervous horse.
    Can Magnitude be mixed into feed?
    Yes. The 5g daily serving is designed to be easily mixed into feed, and the product description notes it is suitable even for fussy feeders. A 5g measure is enclosed.
    Is there a maximum daily dose for Magnitude?
    Yes. The maximum recommended dose is 5g per day, unless a higher amount has been advised by a vet or nutritionist.
