Vitamin E

Core Balance’s natural vitamin E supports your horse’s immune system, nervous system, and the musculoskeletal system.  Natural vitamin E strengthens immune activation, improves responses to vaccines, protects neurological function, supports maximum exercise tolerance and rapid exercise recovery, and helps to minimize post-exercise soreness and tying up. 

Natural vitamin E is required for any horse not grazing on high-quality pasture.  Hay contains almost no vitamin E and commercial feeds may be deficient or may provide vitamin E in a poorly-absorbed synthetic form.  Even horses on pasture may benefit from supplementation if they are in moderate to heavy work, recovering from illness or injury, aging, or otherwise failing to thrive.

Natural vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, helps to protect your horse’s body from the destructive consequences of inflammation (oxidative stress).   This inflammatory process happens with exercise, injuries, illness, and aging. 

Natural vitamin E is also a critical nutrient for your broodmare, foal, and rapidly growing young horse.  It supports high-quality colostrum and nutrient dense milk, strong foal and weanling immune systems, normal nervous system development, and healthy growth and maturation.

This high-dose powdered form delivers approximately 5000 IU of natural vitamin E per scoop.  The high-dose form allows the use of a small amount of palatable powder that is easily incorporated into your horse’s feed or other supplements.
