Our renowned calming supplement for horses encourages positive, workable behaviour without compromising performance. MAH® is an advanced magnesium compound that is easy and flexible to feed, with advice on hand every step of the way.
The unique quality of Nupafeed MAH® Magnesium Horse Calmer lays in the way it is refined. The German pharmaceutical company, Verla-Pharm, pioneered the method of refining magnesium to create Magnesium-L-aspartate-hydrochloride, MAH®.
A completely different and superior grade of magnesium to that used in other supplements, MAH® is exclusive to Nupafeed. Verla-Pharm has been supplying the medical industry with their highly acclaimed products since 1949 and the equine market for the past 30 years.
Nupafeed MAH® calming supplements do not contain L-Tryptophan, herbs or any ingredient that may compromise performance. Our goal is to support healthy muscle and nerve function, rather than creating an artificial calm.
All animals need to have the correct balance of calcium and magnesium. When a horse is highly strung or becomes stressed, anxious, nervous or excited, magnesium is depleted. As a result, calcium is allowed to overload muscle and nerve cells, triggering the release of stress hormones and excitatory chemicals. This can cause stress, erratic behaviour, aggression and/or muscle tension.
Nupafeed MAH® Calmer uses a water soluble, complex, pure, amino magnesium which is able to enter the horse’s system very efficiently and absorb into tissue. By encouraging a healthy balance of calcium and magnesium, MAH® helps to keep your horse on an even keel, without compromising performance.
Nupafeed MAH® Liquid is a superior magnesium supplement that can provide effective support for your horse’s facial nerve comfort, whether their trigger is seasonal or experienced all year round.
Crucially, magnesium supplementation is supported by up-to-date research. Because horses commonly experience facial sensitivity seasonally, particularly in spring, it has often been assumed that the cause is simply a pollen allergy. This is no longer considered to be the case and supplements targeting allergy have been shown only to have a placebo effect on the owner.
In order to help your horse the goal should be to support healthy nerve function, whilst employing good management to avoid the triggers such as pollen, bright light and midges. This is where MAH Liquid can help.
Magnesium is an essential nutrient, required by every cell in the body. It is especially important for a healthy nervous system. Magnesium helps to manage nerve receptors by preventing unwanted signals. When dietary magnesium is insufficient, these receptors cannot be managed appropriately.
Ensuring plentiful dietary magnesium is essential to support healthy nerve function, thereby supporting normal nerve activity and facial comfort.
MAH is a patent-protected magnesium supplement for horses. Originally developed for human medicine, MAH® provides the best possible magnesium absorption (critical for magnesium to be effective) without disrupting pH or nutrient absorption. We do not include any other additives, allowing you to safely adjust the feeding level to meet the needs of your horse.
