Vitamin E is classed as an “essential nutrient” because horses can’t synthesize the nutrient themselves. Therefore, they must obtain it entirely from their diet, and they cannot function normally without it. The best source of vitamin E is fresh green grass, but a horse’s vitamin E levels can drop when he is on winter pasture or if his stabling or competition routine means he doesn’t have continual access to good pasture. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce effects of the oxidative stress that can damage muscles, nerves, and immune response.

Ideal for horses maintained on diets composed largely of processed grains and stored forages and is helpful for horses needing a low-sugar option.
