Equine America Magnitude

Magnitude

Magnitude helps to reduce tension and improve concentration and focus.
- Helps to reduce tension and improve concentration and focus
- Supporting a healthy nervous system
- 5% Magnesium Oxide (which contains 52.7% Magnesium)
- 6g Magnesium per 5g daily serve
- Equine America is BETA NOPS and UFAS assured which means that full product traceability is in place, along with a quality assurance program which minimises the risk of contamination of the feed with prohibited substances and NOPS. Products are formulated to be suitable for horses competing under FEI regulations and the Rules of Racing.

Magnesium is an essential mineral, playing important roles in many areas of metabolism. One of its major roles is as a co-factor in the enzymes involved in nerve and neuro-muscular transmission – helping to regulate nerve to nerve and nerve to muscle transmission and communication.

A lack of magnesium can result in nerve and neuro-muscular excitability, resulting in a tense, nervous horse.

Stressful situations such as strenuous activity and competition, travelling, prolonged stabling and lack of grazing, or new environments may further increase magnesium requirements as stress levels rise.

Magnitude provides supplemental magnesium, together with controlled amounts of calcium (another key mineral in nerve and muscle metabolism), to help promote healthy nerve function and reduce tension, enabling the horse to focus and concentrate.

What are the benefits of Magnitude?
Magnitude provides magnesium from Magnesium Oxide, which is produced from calcined magnesite, extracted from natural deposits in the earth. The Magnesium Oxide used in Magnitude typically contains 52.7% elemental magnesium.
- Natural source of magnesium to supplement low or marginal levels in forage.
- A very small daily serving of 5g provides 2.6g elemental magnesium, easily mixed in feed for fussy feeders
- Safe use with most typical fortified performance and leisure feeds and forage.

Colour Change
*Slight colour change - but the same great product, now with even more quality assurance!
We are pleased to confirm that there is no difference in the magnesium levels, or the chemical source of the magnesium used (magnesium oxide - MgO), only in the physical form of MgO we are now using.
This change in physical form (to the slightly more granular form, with a pale beige colour) has arisen because we are delighted to report that we are now manufacturing Equine America (UK) products in the UK, using certified facilities with the highest standards of safety and production. Although Equine America (UK) products have always been free from prohibited substances, our new UFAS and BETA NOPS certifications will provide further reassurance in the light of recent high profile prohibited substances cases, giving our customers peace of mind regarding FEI, BEF and BHA prohibited substances, enabling full traceability.
In order to comply with the rules and regulations regarding these certifications, we are only able to use certain suppliers, who are also certified, and have had to make a change to our supply of magnesium oxide, so we are now using the lower dust, slightly granular form, which is pale beige.
If you have any queries, please no hesitate to contact the Office.
