Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mag-E show up in a swab?
No. Mag-E does not contravene the Rules of Racing or FEI medication guidelines for competition.
Can Mag-E be given over the tongue as a paste?
Yes. Some horses may not accept new feed tastes, Although Mag-E is vanilla flavoured to tempt even the fussiest of eaters. It can be given over the tongue as a watery slurry on a day to day basis if required to horses that are ‘wary’ about feed additives.
Does Mag-E have to be given for an extended time to help horses cope in training?
In most cases, 4-5 days of supplementation is usually sufficient to help horses adapt to training and cope with new surroundings or routines, although in some horses, a daily supplement for 7-14 days may be required, then reduced to alternate days for 7-10 days, and then twice weekly to help them cope. The pre-competition supplement may then be given to horses that are “good at home and bad away” to help them cope each time they travel or compete. For difficult horses, supplementation can be given for a longer period, if necessary to help them cope, without any risk of side effects.

Yes. Mag-E is also suitable for horses which need help during competitions or busy shows, if unfocused or fidgety in stressful surroundings.
