Magnesium deficiency leads to strained nerves and muscles. This is prevalent amongst horses grazing on wet, acidic pastures. Sport horses, which undergo hard training and travel a lot, also have a relatively high risk of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium supplements are widely available and have been used with a great deal of success. By adding herbs that are known for their soothing, relaxing and concentration-enhancing effect, the results of NAF Magic 5 Star outshine those of other magnesium supplements.

When horses are nervous or stressed, it is standard practice to try and discover the root cause. If no obvious stressors can be identified, a solution may be achievable with food supplements. Magnesium is a critical element in the body and plays a major role in muscle health. One of the indicators of a magnesium deficiency is muscular tension. Other symptoms include nervous behaviour, loss of appetite and sweating. The stress of hard work and frequent travel, or the stress of nursing for mares, increases the risk of magnesium deficiency. If grass grows quickly, it will contain relatively little magnesium but much potassium, a mineral that also reduces the absorption of magnesium. A change in demeanour during the spring could be the result of a lack of magnesium in the diet.

In the wild, horses have plenty of herbs available to them. These may help the muscular and nervous systems. Adding only magnesium to the diet may not be sufficient in all cases. For this reason, NAF Magic 5 Star powder contains not just magnesium, but also a refined mixture of plants which are used in herbal medicine to allay stress and reduce stress related behaviour.

NAF Magic 5 Star's original and unique formula is further enhanced by the addition of key ingredients for relaxing the bowels (pre- and probiotics). Various studies have shown that there is a correlation between stress, jittery or restless behaviour and a healthy digestive system. Probiotics are positive intestinal bacteria, which give the beneficial bacteria in the intestines the chance to thrive. Prebiotics, such as FOS, are simple sugars which improve the conditions in the intestine, so that good bacteria from the gut flora and probiotics are more likely to survive. The combination of pre- and probiotics helps to restore the balance of intestinal flora and maintain good bowel function. The horse can be freed from fear and tension, allowing the rider to enjoy a calm and relaxed mount.

NAF Magic 5 star is also available as a liquid: NAF Magic 5 star liquid. The liquid product is more rapidly absorbed into the body, making the effect noticeable more quickly, but the liquid does not contain pre- and probiotics.
