Magnesium Chloride Bulk 20kg Food Grade (Hard Bag)

Magnesium Chloride Bulk 20kg Bags for Horses :

Hexahydrate 98% MgCl2.6H20 (min 46% MgCl2)

• Food-grade quality magnesium chloride salt with approx 2% sea trace minerals
• Naturally evaporated from salt water located 3,000m above sea level in the Tibetan Plateau
• Laboratory tested – No mercury or lead. Note that the magnesium chloride harvested from Tibetan Plateau can be either food grade or industrial grade, depending on whether it’s open water source or whether it is a hard salt mined out of the mountain using ‘solution mining’.  Only 15% of the global supply of magnesium chloride salts are certified food grade.  Our salts are siphoned off an open air salt water lake for highest purity.  We also get separate lab tests in Australia for trace mineral analysis and to ensure via test to parts per billion that there is no lead or mercury contamination.
• The flakes contain over 16% elemental magnesium ions

DECANT to air tight containers after opening bag. Magnesium Flakes will draw moisture if exposed to air for too long. Keep air tight.

Magnesium chloride for horses is essential to recover from stress as it supports the electrical nervous system

One mineral we can’t afford to lose too much of is magnesium, yet it is lost excessively under stress.   It is the mineral most likely deficient in animals during extreme climatic conditions, including floods, drought and bushfires, because magnesium is lost during stresses and traumas, excessive exertions, inclement weather or travelling.  When magnesium levels drop, temperaments get cranky and irritable, muscles can twitch and spasm uncontrollable, heart rhythm can falter, sugar diabetes, laminitis and inflammation can be ignited, and the immune system can become compromised.  Magnesium is the master mineral that drives our metabolism via mitochondrial production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) – the electrical energy batteries that drive all biological processes from electrolyte conductance to enzyme activity and protein synthesis.

We also have one of the lowest magnesium soils in the world in Australia.  Therefore, grasses are high in sugars and low in magnesium.  Magnesium chloride flakes are an ideal natural food supplement to compensate for what a horse may not be getting from diet.

Magnesium drops even further after heavy rain and floods because magnesium is highly water soluble and is easily washed away from surface soils.   It takes time for earthworms to bring magnesium back up to plant roots from the lower soil strata (if available).  In many areas the soil is so deficient it can’t even support sufficient earthworms…

Severe drought conditions exacerbate magnesium deficiency

Magnesium levels in animals can drop to critically low levels during drought conditions because of heat stress, dehydration, and loss of electrolytes from perspiration. Water is essential for life itself and magnesium helps water to access cells for better hydration.  Without enough magnesium we lose the water too quickly.

Organic farmers who treat their soils with mineral supplements including magnesium have a better chance at harvesting plants with higher levels of magnesium.  Supplementing grazing paddocks with magnesium salts helps to provide the horse with better quality grazing, however, excessive stresses may require higher nutrient feeds – such as magnesium chloride for horses dissolved in daily feeds.

Supplementing feeds and drinking water with food grade magnesium chloride bulk 20kg bags for horses provides valuable nutritional support to recover from symptoms of stress – naturally!
