| Just wondering who has used the oil powder or what ever and see a difference.
I talked with my vet after a friend told me she feeds a powdered form of it. Magrestore, I believe it is. Talked with my old timer vet and he had magnesium oil with aloe setting on his shelves he told me it'd act the same as the powder and might help ulcers if there is any... I was told its supposed to calm the horse down, help muscle soreness etc.
Anyone had any dealings with it? |

Location: the end of the rainbow | I take it and I feed it to my horses. The vet I talked to about it suggested a tablespoon of Epsom salt a day. Helps a lot with the muscle soreness and I did see a it of a difference in my spitfire mare sheen I started her on. I wouldn't say it truly calmed her but it did relax her. She isn't wound quit as tight on it. |

| I fed magrestore to one mare who was always worked up and tight . I think it helped her stay a little more relaxed. It is pretty cheap to try and I plan to put my younger mare on it in the next few weeks as we get ready to leg up again. |

Location: Florida | I am on prescription Magnesium and it has given me my life back. I had every symptom of Magnesium deiciency and had know idea what was wrong until I had a super complete physical and blood tests. If you have leg cramps, muscle twitches, passing out for no reason, stomache problems, on and on, check your magnesium level. |

Location: Texas | the idea behind it is it will buffer the acid in the stomach. However, what we've learned in school is that its very short lived and would require very frequent dosing. It doesn't slow down the production of acid in the stomach. So because of the volume you would have to give and the frequency you would have to give it, it doesn't work very well. Doesn't work as well in horses as it does in people.

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | We use Mag Restore on a young gelding and it has made huge difference. Calms him down, he is much more focused and is really coming along. Down side is you need to feed it daily. We add it to a few pounds of pellets and a splash of water. Up side is that it fairly inexpensive and I'm thinking about putting all the horses on it.
I would give it a try and see if makes a difference in your horse. |

| My hands shake, neurologist diagnosed Familiar Tremors. Medication is available if they get too bad, there were times I had to have by husband do things for me. My sister suggested I soak in Ancient Mineral Oil, I did and no more tremors. I put a cup in my bath water every 2 weeks. |
