Might not be the best title but I was stuck for one!
I have a wonderful gelding who holds a lot of tension in his muscles. Spoke with vet, we decided to try him on a magnesium supplement in addition to his regular massages. I put him on quiessence and it’s worked wonders. He’s on a maintenance dose of 2 scoops a day now and doing very well. He’s a bit of a conformational lemon, toes out in the hind, in in the front, built down hill. He’s 8 now so I want to start him on a supplement to support his joints. Current work level is getting into shape, with the goal of baby level eventing when he’s ready.
I’ve only really used the pureform glucosamine plus with my old OTTB and I was looking into it but it has magnesium in it.
The magnesium in the quiessence is magnesium oxide- 7,000 mg per oz. and chelated magnesium 1,000 mg per oz. per day he is on 2 scoops (2 oz) of this.
The pureform glucosamine plus has 750 mg of magnesium carbonate per 1 oz. If I put him on this I would do 1 scoop (ounce) per day.
I know their different magnesiums, but will this be too much?
