Do you recognize it? A horse that struggles to relax, reacts nervously in the pasture, or feels stiff when being saddled. In many cases, a magnesium deficiency may play a role. Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals for horses – and also one of the nutrients most likely to become deficient, especially in horses on low-grass diets, in intensive training, or during periods of stress.
Sectolin Magnesium Citrate is a complementary feed made from 100% magnesium citrate: an organic form of magnesium with excellent bioavailability that is readily absorbed and quickly reaches the muscles and nervous system.
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of processes within the horse’s body. The benefits most noticeable to horse owners include:
Not all forms of magnesium are equal. Magnesium citrate is an organically bound form that is generally absorbed more efficiently than inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide. As a result, more magnesium becomes available to the body.
Sectolin Magnesium Citrate contains 100% magnesium citrate, with no fillers, sugars, or flavourings.
Always consult a veterinarian before using magnesium supplements in pregnant mares.
Mix daily with the regular feed. Slightly moisten the powder to prevent it from blowing out of the feed bucket.
