"My vet recommended vitamin E to help support my 22 year old warmblood dressage horse's neurological health. I find that this product helps keep him going for maintenance but also helps reduce any down time during flare ups making me able to continue showing and advancing in our skills. I also like the natural vitamin E much better than the synthetic. Great product and I buy the largest size to get the best price. "
Natural E 5,000 provides a highly concentrated source of Vitamin E combined with alfalfa meal (highly palatable carrier) to be used as a daily support when higher levels of Vitamin E are indicated. Vitamin E is powerful antioxidant and works closely with selenium to protect the body from the oxidative stress. Horses are not very efficient in storing vitamin E and deficiency may be accelerated if the diet is deficient in selenium.
#INGREDIENT GLOSSARY
Vitamin E (Natural): Natural E is approx. 2.5 times more bioavailable than synthetic vitamin E (4,000 IUs natural vitamin E approximates 10,000 IUs of synthetic vitamin E). Most studies/research indicate 8,000 IU’s -10,000 IU’s (or approx. 3,000-5,000 IU of Natural Vitamin E) during/post therapy for immune support. Vitamin E is considered the most important antioxidant and works closely with selenium to protect the body from the oxidative stress of exercise and illness. Found in high amounts in fresh pasture, levels begin to decay the moment pasture is cut for hay. That is why any horse that does not have access to grass, regardless of its activity level or health, would be a candidate for vitamin E supplementation. Horses are not very efficient in storing vitamin E and deficiency may be accelerated if the diet is deficient in selenium.

Willow has been on the natural vitamin-E 5000 for about 4 months as my vet recommended that I give her supplemental vitamin-E to help with an old injury. The results have blown me away. Her muscle tone and coat look amazing plus she is moving better than ever. She is 18 years old and I have gotten comments from some friends, saying she looks years younger. My program also includes high-quality hay, a ration balancer, and correct long and low exercise. With that being said this supplement is one of those things I will do for every horse I own from now on.
