Several sources of magnesium are commonly used in dairy rations and we often take the quality of macro mineral sources like these for granted. However, they should not be treated as commodities.

Learn about sources of magnesium available to nutritionists and the opportunities and challenges surrounding each source, especially when it comes to quality and bioavailability.
What You’ll Learn:
- The different sources of magnesium available and the challenges and benefits of each.
- How to identify methods for comparing magnesium source quality.
- What makes calcium magnesium carbonates unique in the magnesium supplement space.
- The most recent research findings on gut health and calcium magnesium carbonates.
