Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
MagnaGard
What’s the difference between MagnaGard and MagnaGard Plus?
MagnaGard Plus (the reddish-orange bag) has camelina oil added to it, which provides a number of benefits to horses including:
- Provides essential fatty acids and a 2:1:1 ratio of omega-3, omega-1, and omega-9
- Provides important antioxidants including vitamin E
- Improves coat sheen
- Improves bone structure
- Provides additional ulcer relief and prevention
- Acts as an anti-inflammatory
What if my horse won’t eat it?
That can happen sometimes. Here are some tips that have worked for others:
- Add a cup of water and mix the MagnaGard into a mash with your pellets, grain, or other feed
- If that doesn’t work you can try it with aloe juice
- if that doesn’t work you can add some other flavoring to entice your horse to eat it (loose salt, molasses, apple sauce)
- You can switch to MagnaGard Pellets instead of the powder.
When does it expire?
MagnaGard doesn’t have an expiration date, but we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place or at least out of the sun.
MagnaGard Plus has a two-year shelf life. We replenish our entire inventory every 4-6 months, so it’s safe to say if you use it within 18 months from the date of purchase you will be fine.
MagnaGard Paste has a 4-year shelf life, although we only guarantee one year from date of purchase. Depending on how you store it, it may dry out. It’s still safe to use if you are able to re-hydrate it. To avoid drying out, keep it away from the heat.
Is MagnaGard safe to give with other supplements?
Yes, MagnaGard is safe to give with your other supplements. With prescription medications, be sure to consult your veterinarian.
Can I give MagnaGard powder and MagnaGard Paste on the same day?
Yes, you can give them on the same day. The powder is intended for daily maintenance and the paste can be used as needed. Many people like to give the paste before trailering or before a show or even a ride. It helps keep your horse calm and focused so you both can have a great ride.
