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.

Clinical Considerations

Generally recognised as safe for equine use when fed at recommended levels. Adverse effects are rare and usually associated with over-supplementation or low-purity sources.

Advisories & Considerations

  • Do not exceed recommended feeding levels. Excess magnesium intake can, in rare cases, cause loose droppings or reduced feed intake.
  • Not suitable for horses with kidney impairment unless under veterinary supervision, as magnesium is excreted renally.
  • Monitor balance with calcium and phosphorus — prolonged high magnesium supplementation without dietary balance may affect mineral ratios.
  • If your horse is on prescribed medications, particularly sedatives or calcium-channel blockers, check with your vet before feeding.
  • Pregnant or nursing mares: safe within standard dietary limits, but consult your vet if combining multiple magnesium sources.
  • Storage: keep sealed, cool, and dry to prevent clumping or moisture absorption
