Vitamin E and Horses

Vitamin E is an integral part of your horse's health, and ensuring your horse receives the proper amount of vitamin E to protect and promote cellular health can be easily administered; however, not just any type of vitamin E will provide the proper results.

Vitamin E and Horses

Did you know that vitamin E is a biological antioxidant that helps to maintain normal neuromuscular function?

Antioxidants, like vitamin E, act as guardians at the cellular level, protecting against the damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are rogue molecules that, when present in excess, can wreak havoc on cells, often leading to their demise. The consequence of such cellular damage extends to vital organs and tissues, such as the liver and muscles, impairing their normal function.

Forms of Vitamin E

Vitamin E exists in various forms, but not all are created equal. Natural vitamin E, specifically d-alpha Tocopherol, is a standout performer. Horses, unable to synthesize vitamin E independently, rely on dietary sources for this essential nutrient. The bioavailability of vitamin E is a critical factor, and research confirms that horses absorb natural vitamin E more efficiently. Equine Omega Vitamin E®, a product of extensive research and formulation, encapsulates the superior d-alpha Tocopherol, making it an ideal choice for ensuring optimal absorption and utilization.

Equine Vitamin E

Equine Omega Vitamin E® provides 10,000 IU of absorbable natural d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) per serving suspended in soybean oil to maximize absorption of this essential fat-soluble vitamin. Equine Omega Vitamin E® is an excellent choice for horses on a hay-based diet. Lack of access to quality pasture can lead to vitamin E deficiency.

Recommended Daily Vitamin E Intake For Horses

Scientific research advocates a daily intake of 1-2 IU of vitamin E per kilogram of body weight for horses. For a 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) horse, this translates to 1,000-2,000 IU per day. It’s not merely about meeting these recommended levels; it’s about choosing a form of vitamin E that ensures optimal bioavailability. Equine Omega Vitamin E® meets and exceeds these standards, offering a reliable source that supports the diverse health needs of horses.

Conditions Linked to Vitamin E Deficiency

Horses deficient in vitamin E face an array of potential health issues. Equine motor neuron disease (EMND), vitamin E deficient myopathy (VEM), equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM), muscle soreness, and compromised performance are among the conditions associated with insufficient vitamin E levels. These underscore the critical role that vitamin E plays in sustaining the overall health and functionality of horses.
