Magnesium chloride for muscle relaxation and stress management

Magnesium is an essential mineral that the body cannot produce itself; it must therefore be obtained from the diet. Magnesium chloride plays a role in numerous metabolic processes, notably muscle relaxation and regulation of the nervous system. It also contributes to electrolyte balance by participating in cellular exchanges involving calcium and potassium. In horses undergoing training, requirements increase and reserves must be regularly replenished.

A magnesium deficiency can manifest as poor recovery, muscle spasms or even cramps during exercise, as well as unusual fatigue or increased sensitivity to stress.

Magnesium in the form of chloride dissolves easily in water and is readily absorbed.

Magnesium chloride is recommended for working horses to promote muscle suppleness or aid recovery, or for any horse experiencing fatigue or stress. It is also recommended for broodmares in late pregnancy or early lactation, when requirements are high.
