Magnesium

Magnesiumoxid · Mg

Mechanism

Magnesium ist ein essenzieller Mengenmineralstoff. Es stabilisiert die neuromuskuläre Erregungsschwelle und ist Cofaktor zahlreicher ATP-abhängiger Enzymreaktionen. Ein subklinischer Mangel wird in der Praxis mit erhöhter Schreckhaftigkeit in Verbindung gebracht; die Datenlage beim Pferd ist begrenzt und überwiegend deskriptiv.

Cautions

  • · Excess may disturb the phosphorus/calcium ratio
  • · Monitor kidney function under prolonged high dosing
