An effective combination of organic calcium, organic magnesium, phosphorous and boron
Calcium and magnesium work together.
Calcium plays a vital role in the excitement of nerves (turns them on) Whilst magnesium is instrumental in relaxing them (turning them off). This is why horses get touchy, irritable, distracted (like ADD) and panicky. When magnesium is lacking horses certainly can't think straight!
Calcium is vital for contraction and magnesium for muscle release. Horses are 80% muscle including some very large ones like the long back muscles and the hamstrings.
This is why horses can get short-stepping and choppy and sometimes even uncomfortable to ride. When they are short on magnesium their muscles become tight and tense. This inhibits their movement and properlytherefore their performance.
The presence of boron is essential for calcium and magnesium to operate properly and will reduce their excretion by up to 40%. (Read Benefits of Boron)
Do I need to feed Alleviate C all year round?
Yes! It is a mistake to think horses only need these minerals when They are 'sick'. They are as essential to life as water and are being used up on a daily basis and need to be replenished on a daily basis. Demineralsisation is not something that can be measured fronm the outside but will reduce the length of your horse's useful life.
