Bioavailability of Mg malate in horses has not been tested but should be equivalent to Mg oxide. In fact, magnesium compounds are used to soothe stomachs - e.g.Maalox. Neither of those causes stomach discomfort. Carbonates react with acid to form bicarbonate. Kellon: T he oxide from Mg oxide can react with stomach acid to form water. malate equal to bio-availability of oxide form in horses - as you stated above the human estimates. Question: Thank you for responding so timely-This company talks about forms of mag other than malate reacting with stomach acids and causing discomfort in horses- what do you think? Is M. If you still wish to use an organic magnesium salt Uckele does offer magnesium proteinate, Bioplex Magnesium.

However, the horse is a constant stomach acid secretor. These can list an availability of magnesium oxide as low as 40%. Kellon: You are referring to bioavailability estimates for humans, commonly based on solubility in water. Do you plan in the future to offer the more bio-available forms? Thanks, Allisonĭr. I supplement magnesium for my metabolic mare as a maintenance piece to aid in regulating glucose. oxide is easy to source and cheaper but knowing it is the least bio-available I'm having a hard time swallowing purchasing these products. Question: I am disappointed because I am having a hard time finding an equine Magnesium malate product on the market.
