CdG ORGANIC MAGNESIUM - magnesium for horses

CdG MAGNESIUM

Highly absorbable complementary feed containing organic magnesium for horses

CdG MAGNESIUM is a complementary feed designed to supplement a horse's daily magnesium intake.

CdG MAGNESIUM contains organic magnesium and helps complement the horse's daily magnesium intake. Thanks to its high magnesium content, even a small serving provides a substantial amount of magnesium as part of the horse's diet.

A magnesium supplement particularly suitable for active horses and horses in training.

The importance of magnesium in a horse's diet

Horses need magnesium every day, as the body does not store large, readily available reserves of magnesium.

Magnesium is important for the normal functioning of the nervous system, muscles, heart and blood vessels. It also plays a role in muscle activity, energy metabolism and the body's physiological processes associated with recovery.

Magnesium is involved in:

• normal muscle function

• nervous system function

• maintaining electrolyte balance

• processes related to muscle activity and recovery

• energy and protein metabolism

• maintaining normal bone structure

Adequate magnesium intake is particularly important for active horses, as physical exertion and sweating affect mineral requirements and losses.

Particular attention should be paid to magnesium balance in the diet of:

• sport and competition horses

• horses in active training

• young, growing horses

• pregnant mares

• horses that sweat heavily

• horses experiencing dietary changes or increased physical demands

Travelling, competition seasons and changing everyday situations can also increase a horse's overall workload and stress. In these situations, ensuring adequate magnesium intake is an important part of evaluating the overall diet.

Organic magnesium – a small serving is enough

CdG MAGNESIUM contains organic magnesium, and the product's high total magnesium content allows for a small daily serving.

A small daily serving provides plenty of magnesium as part of the horse's daily diet. The product is easy to combine with the horse's regular feeding routine.

Feeding instructions

Horse 500 kg

Feed according to individual needs, taking into account the magnesium content of the rest of the diet.

1 scoop ≈ 14 g
Provides approximately 4.8 g of magnesium.

At a daily serving of one scoop, the package lasts approximately 54 days.

15 ml scoop = 14 g

When determining the appropriate serving, consider the magnesium provided by other feeds and the horse's individual requirements.

CdG MAGNESIUM can be incorporated into the horse's daily feeding routine. If needed, it can be combined with other supplements, such as:

• brewer's yeast as a natural source of B vitamins and protein

• vitamin E

• selenium

Composition and nutrients

Composition: Magnesium salts of organic acids, magnesium oxide

This article discusses the role of magnesium in normal nervous system and muscle function, as well as the use of magnesium supplements in equine nutrition.

Magnesium is involved in numerous physiological processes in the body, including muscle activity, normal nervous system function, electrolyte balance and energy metabolism. Adequate magnesium intake is part of a balanced diet tailored to the horse's individual needs and level of activity.
