Epsom Salt - Epsom salt, magnesium sulphate 1,5 kg

Description Source of valuable magnesium salts and electrolytes Magnesium is the second most abundant cation in intracellular fluids and an essential electrolyte for the body. Together with many enzymes, it is involved in phosphate transport, muscle contraction and neuron transmission. The body contains nearly 25 mg of magnesium per kilogram of body weight, of which nearly 60% is found in bone. Magnesium salts are used to prevent magnesium deficiency and hypomagnesemia (a set of conditions in which low levels of magnesium are measured in the blood), often accompanied by calcium and potassium deficiencies that may be caused by reduced dietary intake. Epsom salt is also effective in relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation. It also raises blood magnesium levels and prevents oedema caused by excessive water retention. Magnesium sulphate dilates blood vessels, promotes better blood supply to muscles and helps reduce inflammation. It has the ability to speed up regeneration, effectively reducing muscle and joint pain associated with inflammatory reactions. Interestingly, there are countries where Epsom salt is also used as a supplementary treatment for hoof abscesses. After cleaning and treating the abscess, the vet will soak the hoof in warm water with Epsom salt and of course recommend anti-inflammatory preparations.  Dosage recommendation Up to 135 cm height 2 scoops per day mixed into the feed (1 scoop 15 grams) Between 135-155 cm in height 2-3 scoops per day mixed into the diet Above 155 cm height 4 scoops per day mixed into the diet Storage of: in a dry, cool place at a temperature between 10-20 C, protected from light.  Contains no substances prohibited by Jockey Club and FEI rules.
