Does Your Horse Receive Enough Vitamin E?

By SmartPak

Horses without access to lush pasture may lack sufficient Vitamin E. Vitamin E is an essential nutrient in equine diets, serving as a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. While some horses get enough Vitamin E from quality forage and lush pasture, many do not. Since Vitamin E levels decrease when hay is cut and dried, horses without access to quality pasture, and those under stress or in heavy work, may lack sufficient Vitamin E.

Smart & Simple Vitamin E Liquid was formulated to address Vitamin E deficiencies using natural d-alpha-tocopherol, the most effective form for raising Vitamin E levels1. This unique Vitamin E has been converted from a fat-soluble vitamin into a water-soluble vitamin, allowing for quick absorption into your horse’s bloodstream to help achieve optimal levels.

  • Each mL provides 500 IU, allowing for easy adjustment based on your horse’s specific needs
  • Provides natural Vitamin E as a palatable, water-soluble liquid
  • Ideal for horses under stress, in heavy work, or lacking access to lush pasture
