The reality is that Ultra Mag is the only form of magnesium available in NZ that really deserves the title of organic magnesium. There are 4 forms of organic magnesium and magnesium proteinate is the highest quality of them all. It is so effective that a smaller dose is needed.

If you are wanting the calming influence of Ultra Mag then a half to full dose is recommended. However, if you merely want to avoid a deficiency then the lowest dose is sufficient in most cases. Ultra Mag is so effective that it will calm a horse not deficient in Magnesium.

WHY IS CALCIUM NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORMULA?

Magnesium is commonly deficient, however, calcium deficiency is much less common and has an important relationship with phosphorus. Many feeds such as lupins, lucerne and sugarbeet are high in calcium and your horses diet should be correctly balanced with regard to calcium and phosphorus as basic feed values. How much calcium you might feed depends on your horses management and feed make up, and if your horses is correctly balanced then it should not be necessary. Elite Equine think calcium should be added with discretion and only when necessary.

Ultra Mag is available in 500g packets and has a 10g dose and a 3.33g scoop.
