Vitamin E is essential for horses' immune function, cardiovascular health, muscle function, recovery from exercise, and neurological health. Vitamin E is best known for its role as an antioxidant in horses, which protects all cells and tissues from oxidative damage. Our natural vitamin E supplement provides this nutrient in a form that is most efficiently absorbed and used in tissues.
*MORE INFORMATION*
Mad Barn Natural Vitamin E is convenient to add to a horse's feeding program, ensuring they meet their nutritional needs and receive optimal antioxidant protection.
Unlike competitive products, our pure vitamin E powder contains no fillers and is highly concentrated, providing 600,000 IU/kg of d-alpha-tocopherol. Known as natural vitamin E, d-alpha-tocopherol has significantly higher bioavailability than synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol).
Our natural bulk vitamin E also offers exceptional value, which can be easily adjusted to provide your horse with the exact dosage he needs. At 1.67 grams (1000 IU) per day, a 500 gram packet will last approximately 300 days.
THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that binds free radicals – unstable molecules that can damage DNA, cell membranes and other structures inside cells. Vitamin E contributes to the health and proper functioning of cells by neutralizing free radicals before they cause oxidative damage.
In horses, oxidative damage due to low vitamin E levels can manifest as muscle soreness or slow recovery after exercise or illness.
NUTRITIONAL NEEDS
Vitamin E must be included in the horse's diet because its body cannot synthesize it. An adult horse weighing 500 kg needs a minimum of 500 IU of vitamin E per day.
However, older horses and those suffering from illnesses or certain neurological disorders may benefit from a higher intake. Equine athletes who engage in high-intensity exercise have high vitamin E requirements to support their demanding physical activity.
Pastures are generally a good source of vitamin E for horses, as this vitamin is abundant in fresh grasses and legumes. However, once the plant is cut to make hay, the vitamin E content begins to degrade.
Over time, the vitamin E content of stored hay decreases significantly, resulting in a nutritional deficiency in most horses that eat only hay. If your horse feeds primarily on hay, he will need vitamin E supplementation to achieve optimal levels.
