PLACIDE + C

PLACIDE + C is a highly available form of calcium and magnesium (ratio 1:1) with adequate boron and essential amino acids.

The ideal calcium/magnesium ratio is 2:1, Placide C is 1:1 to allow for horses that are on a multi vitamin/mineral supplement or have other sources of calcium in their diet such as lucerne.

CALCIUM; Calcium is vital for muscle contraction and stimulation of nerves. Calcium is essential for optimal skeletal growth. It is important for young horses to get enough calcium in their diet to maintain healthy bone growth. Mares in foal and lactating mares also need to be supplemented with calcium. This is so the foal they are feeding and the mare does not become deficient. It is important that foals do not start off calcium deficient because it will affect their skeletal growth.

BORON: Boron is critical for calcium and magnesium to operate properly; it reduces the excretion of these minerals by as much as 40%..
