Hi Debbi

If you mean that Quiessemce is more expensive than Remission, my guess is the maker would point to chelated magnesium and chromiu added to Quiessence.  The vast majority don't need those additions.  Mag Ox is readily absorbed by the horse (unlike people).  Most hays have adequate chromium, exception being hays grown in alkaline soil.

Also want to point out that Maggie was referring to feed grade magnesium oxide being a lot less expensive than Remission or Quiessence.

A 40 pound bag of Mag Ox costs about $20.00 in my area.  I feed two tablespoons a day and the stuff lasts for months. Works great.  I can spend the saved money elsewhere.

May I pretty please ask you to add your general location and date of joining the group to your sig?  It helps us alot.

Many thanks.
