Description

Science Supplements Natural E & Selenium is a natural supplement for horses in work or on low Vitamin E intake while also needing muscle, respiratory or immune support.

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant vitamin that cannot be made by the horse and must be obtained from the diet. Vitamin E is essential for healthy functioning of muscles, the immune system, reproductive function and the nervous system. Many horses may have an increased need for Vitamin E, including those on low Vitamin E intake due to low quality forage, those on diets with added oil, those in work, "older" animals and those used for breeding. Many Vitamin E supplements use the much cheaper synthetic forms of Vitamin E. Natural E, as the name suggests provides a natural source of Vitamin E which has up to double the biological activity than synthetic forms of Vitamin E. Natural E also contains organic selenium which is essential for the optimal activity of Vitamin E. Natural E deliver 3000IU of Vitamin E activity and 1mg of selenium per daily horse feeding rate.

What does Vitamin E do?

Vitamin E is central to muscle and nerve function, heart health, immune function, lung health and skin health.

Where do horses get Vitamin E from?

Horses cannot make Vitamin E and must get it from their diet. It is therefore essential that sufficient Vitamin E is fed or supplemented.

What form of Vitamin E is best - Natural or Synthetic?

Many Vitamin E supplements use the much cheaper synthetic forms of Vitamin E. Natural E, as the name suggests provides a natural source of Vitamin E which has up to double the biological activity than synthetic forms of Vitamin E. Natural E also contains organic selenium which is essential for the optimal activity of Vitamin E.

Is this product good for horse hoof cracks

Diane Dagley

My farrier has suggested supplement for poor hoof quality with cracks and weak
hoof horn

  • VioVet Staff

This supplement contains ingreidents that may partially help hoof quality but this is not it's main intention. I suggest checking out Science Supplements 4Feet and 4Feet Plus as these are more specific for supporting hoof/horn quality.
