It is with great pleasure that I announce a new support product formed in conjunction between Skode's Horse Treats Inc. and certified herbalist Catherine Bird, author of A Healthy Horse the Natural Way.
Simply, this is a combination of pure Magnesium citrate and certified organic Chamomile Flower Powder. Magnesium is known to affect insulin secretion as well as action, giving it a vital role in the stabilization of glucose. Some signs of magnesium deficiency can include: Abnormal fat deposits (crestiness), muscle stiffness and gait abnormalities. Chamomile flowers may help stop spasms in the smooth muscle lining of the stomach and intestines, as they contain constituents that are anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-parasitic.
This unique product is designed to meet the needs of horses who need additional magnesium supplementation to balance their bodies and their nutritional programs. It contains a highly assimilate form of magnesium. It does not contain any fillers or additives of any kind. It has been carefully balanced to help horses who may be deficient in magnesium, to maintain a healthy level of the mineral - both through the mineral itself as well as the very gentle and soothing herb of Chamomile. Suggested serving size is 1 tablespoon, which contains 400 mg of elemental Magnesium.
"Magnesium Support" has in our anecdotal experience, appeared to help to regulate bowls in horses prone to colic. (Hard stools became softer without any tummy upsets or runny stools). However please know that the use of the herb of Chamomile for the prevention or cure of any disease has not been regulated by the FDA. We therefore make no claims to this effect.
*Special Note: It is just as important to feed certain minerals in correct proportions as it is to provide the minerals themselves. Please visit the Yahoo Cushings and Insulin Resistance Group at Yahoo if you have questions about how to offer such a balanced nutritional program.
