Burwood Magnesium 750g

Burwood Magnesium is a pure magnesium supplement for horses and ponies, providing nutritional support for healthy nerve and muscle function. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical processes in the body, including nerve signal transmission, muscle contraction and relaxation, and energy metabolism. Magnesium deficiency is relatively common in horses, particularly those on grass or forage grown on magnesium-poor soils, and is widely associated with excitability, tension, spookiness and muscle issues. Burwood Magnesium offers a simple, cost-effective way to ensure your horse’s magnesium requirements are met.

FAQ

How does magnesium help with calming?

Magnesium plays a key role in nerve signal transmission and the regulation of the nervous system. A deficiency can lead to heightened nerve sensitivity, resulting in spookiness, tension, excitability and difficulty concentrating. Supplementing magnesium helps support normal nerve function and a more relaxed temperament in susceptible horses.

How do I know if my horse is magnesium deficient?

Signs of magnesium deficiency can include spookiness, tension, muscle twitching, poor coat condition and difficulty relaxing. Deficiency is more common in horses on lush spring grass or forage from magnesium-poor soils. A blood test can confirm deficiency, though blood magnesium levels don’t always reflect tissue levels accurately.

How much should I feed?

Follow the feeding guide on the tub. Dosage varies depending on the horse’s size and the severity of deficiency. Introduce gradually and adjust based on your horse’s response. Consult your vet or equine nutritionist if unsure.

Can I feed magnesium alongside other supplements?

Yes — magnesium can be fed alongside most other supplements. If your horse is already on a broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement, check the combined magnesium intake to avoid overfeeding, as excessive magnesium can cause loose droppings.

Is it safe for competition horses?

Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral and is not a prohibited substance under most equestrian competition rules. Always check with your governing body if in doubt.
