Specs & features.
Magnesium chloride is an inorganic, highly soluble salt typically found in a hexahydrate form (MgCl₂ ⋅ 6H₂O). It can be sourced from natural brines or evaporated seawater. In veterinary nutrition, it is valued over other magnesium sources (like magnesium oxide) because it is highly bioavailable, making it easier for the animal's body to rapidly absorb and utilize.
