What is chelated magnesium? There are many forms of magnesium compounds and chelated is a much more digestible form due to its bioavailability, which is why it's used in MagCalm. Other less effective forms include magnesium sulfate and magnesium Oxide.

This is because magnesium is bound to something that aids its digestion. In this instance, it's magnesium glycinate and combined with soya bean meal meaning that it's a supplement that can be absorbed by your horse. To increase absorption, Magcalm uses herbs with the magnesium content.

Why is magnesium supplementation good for horses? Magnesium calmers can be great for horses. In a time where they might not receive high enough levels of magnesium from their diet, it's a great way to optimise this and feel the benefits.

As well as being great for treating nervousness in particularly anxious horses ones that display difficult behaviour, magnesium is used by the body in many hundreds of different processes and is very important for general health, the same is true for humans.
