Calcium source



One product I've found that can be used as a calcium source in electrolytes
is Nature's Life Milk Free Calcium Magnesium Liquid.  I found this product in
Chamberlin's health store.  It is in liquid form with a palatable vanilla
flavor.  Two tablespoons contain:
Calcium.........................................1200mg
(tri-calcium Phosphate lactate, citrate, Gluconate)
Magneisum (carbonate, hydroxide)   600mg
Phosphorous (tri calcium phosphate) 600mg
Vitamin D3 (choloecalciferol)             800 i.u.

This mixes easily with the salts and makes it easy to squirt into a horse's
mouth.  One note, I have been out of distance riding for some time and had
just been feeding a commercial brand of electrolytes for pleasure riding, so
I don't know if this product is still on the market.  I will call around and
see if it is still out there.
I am not sure of the ratio requirements of magnesium and phosphorous for a
competing horse so if the ratios are wrong let me know.
