Under normal conditions Magnesium and Calcium are in equilibrium in the animal's body. In stress situations such as training, racing and other sporting competitions hormonal effects cause a displacement of the Calcium-Magnesium balance in favor of Calcium. Calcium overload of nerve and muscle cells including the heart makes the animals overexcited, nervous and tense, at times resulting in excess’ of lactic acid and possible “Tie Up” of muscles. MAGVET restores the Calcium - Magnesium balance back to normal. This special Magnesium compound is capable of removing excess Calcium from the cells protecting them against further Calcium overload. This accounts for the stress relieving and calming properties of MAGVET.
Improvement of performance is attributable to the particular composition of MAGVET which plays and important role in protein synthesis. Magnesium, a mineral substance required for all energy consuming processes in the body can easily penetrate into the cells, in the MAGVET® formulation. The effectiveness of MAGVET is mainly due to the special type of Magnesium compound improving cellular metabolism. Horses fed with MAGVET® show more willingness to work and are muscle relaxed. Due to the purely physiologic base of its composition MAGVET is neither a drug nor is it doping.
