Our renowned MAH Horse Calmer in Concentrated Syringe form for on the day calming. MAH® supports normal muscle and nerve function during times of stress. Our non-drowsy calming Syringes are the ideal solution for horses that experience anxiety and tension during competition, training, racing, sales prep and travel.
The unique quality of Nupafeed MAH lays in the way it is refined. The German Pharmaceutical company, Verla-Pharm pioneered a unique method of refining magnesium to create Magnesium aspartate-hydrochloride - MAH.
A completely different and superior grade of magnesium to that used in other calming products, MAH® is exclusive to Nupafeed. Verla-Pharm has been supplying the medical industry with their highly acclaimed products since 1949 and the equestrian market for the past 30 years.
All cells need to have the correct balance of calcium and magnesium. During times of stress or excitement, magnesium is depleted. This allows calcium to overload muscle and nerve cells, increasing the release of stress hormones and excitatory chemicals. This can cause anxiety, erratic behaviour, aggression and/or muscle tension.
MAH is suitable for any stress related behaviour, both at home and in competition. It can be supplemented to horses working in any discipline, horses in training, those on box rest, sales prep etc. and is also suitable for foals, covering stallions and moody mares.
Nupafeed MAH Horse Calmer uses water soluble, complex, pure, amino magnesium which is able to enter the horses’ system very efficiently and absorb into tissue. The graph below demonstrates the absorption of MAH compared to other forms of magnesium that are marketed as ‘bioavailable’. Magnesium oxide is commonly used in cheap supplements but is not included here because its absorption is very poor.
Classen HG et al. Comparative Experimental Study in Animals on Magnesium Absorption from the Gastro-Intestinal Tract in the Forms of Sulfate, Chloride, Aspartate and Aspartate-Hydrochloride. Arzneimittel-Forschung (Drug Research) 1973; 23: 267-271
MAH has a further advantage of having equal molar amounts of hydrogen and chloride, meaning that it does not react with gastric acid. Unlike other forms of magnesium, MAH can be loaded without changing blood or urinal pH or hindering the absorption of other nutrients (namely calcium, potassium and iron).
Nupafeed MAH Concentrated Syringes are the ideal instant horse calmer for travel, sales, competition or other short term needs.
MAH Concentrated Syringes can be used on their own or as a top-up for horses using MAH Liquid daily.
Horses not using MAH Liquid: most horses require two MAH Syringes, one fed three hours before and a second fed one and a half hours before the onset of stress. For small ponies, use half of a Syringe in place of a whole.
Horses using the daily liquid: most horses would have a loading amount of the Liquid fed the night before and in the morning. They would then only need one Syringe given an hour and a half before the onset of stress.
Q. Can I race/compete on MAH?
Yes, MAH has been fully screened and is compliant with all international governing bodies including the FEI, BHA and the Turf Club.
Q. Will feeding MAH hinder performance?
Absolutely not, MAH actually supports athletic performance because magnesium is critical for muscle function and energy metabolism. It also helps to stop horses running their races too soon or running/jumping ‘blind’ due to stress.
MAH does not contain any potentially drowsy ingredients such as herbs or L-tryptophan.
Nupafeed supplements are routinely used by Olympic athletes and racehorse trainers.
Q. Is MAH safe to feed with other supplements or medications?
Yes.
