What is Bioplex Manganese for Horses?
Bioplex Manganese for Horses is a highly absorbable trace mineral supplement that supports your horse’s bone development, cartilage formation, and overall body health. This organic manganese source is bound to amino acids for maximum absorption, ensuring that your horse receives the full benefits of this important mineral.
While manganese is typically abundant in grass, hay, and cereals, forage analysis may reveal low levels, especially in young and growing horses. In such cases, supplementation with Bioplex Manganese can help restore optimal mineral balance.
Key Benefits:
- Highly absorbable manganese source: Bioplex manganese is bound to amino acids to enhance absorption and effectiveness.
- 15% elemental manganese: Provides a potent dose of manganese to support your horse’s health.
- Supports cartilage formation: Vital for the formation of chondroitin sulfate, a key component of cartilage.
- Promotes bone development: Helps in the development of strong, healthy bones.
- Antioxidant protection: Manganese is part of the superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that protects cells from oxidative stress and ensures tissue health.

What is Manganese for Horses?
Manganese is an essential trace mineral that plays a crucial role in your horse’s skeletal development, cartilage formation, and cellular protection. It is involved in the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate, a component necessary for healthy joints and cartilage. Manganese also acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage and ensuring that tissues remain healthy and functional.
Though manganese is typically abundant in most horse forages, supplementation may be required in cases of deficiency, particularly for young, growing horses or those under heavy work.
How Much Manganese Should I Feed My Horse?
Manganese supplementation needs vary depending on your horse’s diet, age, and activity level:
- Adult horses generally get sufficient manganese from their forage.
- Young, growing horses, pregnant or lactating mares, and horses in moderate to heavy work may require additional manganese.
- For a 500kg horse, we recommend 1 x 5ml scoop per day, providing 377mg of elemental manganese (approx. 2.5g of Bioplex Manganese).
If you’re unsure of your horse’s specific manganese needs, please contact us for personalised feeding advice.

Forageplus does not advise the feeding of separate minerals, such as manganese unless levels have been checked through carrying out a forage analysis. The ratios of minerals are important and feeding one mineral without supplementing correct levels of another can be detrimental to horse health. If you are uncertain of mineral levels then feeding either a Forageplus Equine Balancer or carrying out analysis of forage is wise.
Find out why ratios of minerals fed are so important at Forageplus Talk.

Although not many people need to add supplementary Manganese, after forage analysis it turned out that we are amongst the rare few who do need to add it. This is the highest quality, most economical source I can find and the horses happily eat it, so it’s now on my regular re-order list.

A great product and really worth its price (because you only need to feed a few grams a day) even with the added cost of shipping to Sweden.
