NuVena - Vitamin E 330g

Vitamin E is a crucial biological antioxidant that protects your horse's cells from damaging free radicals, which can accelerate aging, lower immunity, and hinder regeneration. Free radical production increases during intense exercise, stress, or exposure to polluted air, raising the demand for this vital vitamin.

Beyond its antioxidant role, Vitamin E is essential for connective tissue health, muscle efficiency, and maintaining cell membrane integrity. It's also vital for breeding horses, supporting ovulation and fetal development, and helps maintain skin elasticity and hydration.

Horses without access to lush pastures, or any horse outside the grazing period, often have low Vitamin E intake, as its content in hay drops drastically after mowing. Horses with low body weight may also be more susceptible to deficiency.

When to Supplement with Vitamin E?

Consider Vitamin E for:

• Diagnosed deficiency.
• Horses lacking lush pasture, especially pregnant mares and foals.
• Off-pasture periods.
• High-fat diets or added oils.
• Heavy training or high-level effort (endurance, cross-country).
• Before and after surgeries/procedures.
• Highly stressful situations.
• Recurrent nosebleeds.
• Exacerbated RAO (asthma) symptoms.

Key Roles of Vitamin E:

• Powerful antioxidant, fighting free radicals.
• Boosts immunity.
• Supports muscle function and prevents post-training fatigue.

Signs of Deficiency:

• Reduced immunity.
• Lack of energy, rapid fatigue.
• "White muscle disease" in foals.
• Neurodegenerative diseases.
• Heart and skeletal muscle issues.
• Potential for tumor formation in severe cases.
