Why Should I Choose Placide M & Ca for My Horse?
Posted by Placide on 10th Jul 2017
Do you suspect your horse is grass-affected. Are they anxious, stressed or hyper-reactive? Placide M & Ca, formulated with superior bio-available organic chelated magnesium plus calcium, is ideal for all horse and pony breeds that are showing the above symptoms.
For many horses and ponies a forage-first diet, comprising hay and pasture, can usually provide their daily energy, vitamin and mineral requirements, except magnesium and to a lesser extent, calcium.
During times of rapid grass growth, such as Spring, fast growing grass, can often be low in important minerals. This can create an imbalance of magnesium and calcium in the body, which is best restored with supplementation.
Calcium and Magnesium
When calcium and magnesium are in balance, they enable normal muscular function. Calcium contracts the muscle and magnesium releases the muscle. However, when out of balance, muscular tension is often one of the first obvious signs of a magnesium deficiency.
Placide M & Ca contains a 1:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium.
A safe, non-toxic equine supplement, just 5g of Placide M & Ca per day (per 500kg), added to your horse or pony’s feed, will restore the vital balance of calcium and magnesium; reducing tension and promoting calm behaviour.
Placide M & Ca contains organic chelated magnesium, amino acids and boron, which promotes magnesium metabolism and reduces excretion levels of magnesium by up to 40%, while maintaining bone and joint health.
Placide is the number one equine calming supplement in New Zealand. Containing organic, chelated magnesium, Placide works to relax muscles, reduce stress and support your horse’s health for improved performance in less than one week. Click here to find out more.
