Product Details


Pure, non-synthetic nutrient support for equine hooves, metabolism, and nervous system health, EquiNatural’s pharma-grade Magnesium Oxide is high-purity (98–100.5%) with 60.6% elemental magnesium content.


Ideal for metabolic support, hoof health, and forage balancing, it’s a must-have for horses needing extra magnesium in their diet.





Overview

Magnesium plays a significant role in metabolising carbohydrates (sugars and starches) in horses and the broader implications for their metabolic health. Human studies indicate that a large quantity of magnesium, 56 molecules for each molecule of sugar, is necessary for this process, suggesting that horses consuming high-sugar or high-starch diets may require substantial magnesium to effectively process these foods.

Magnesium is also crucial for proper insulin function and glucose uptake into cells, with a deficiency potentially leading to issues such as insulin resistance, laminitis, and poor hoof quality.

Observations show that horses with signs of insulin resistance, such as a cresty neck and localised fat deposits, show positive responses to magnesium supplements within weeks, with improvements in hoof structure and function following within months.
