What is natural vitamin E for horses?

Our Natural Vitamin E for horses is sold as powdered 25% vitamin E acetate adsorbate on silica. 1 x 10ml scoop provides a minimum of 2000 iu.

The horse cannot synthesize vitamin E; therefore, it is considered an essential nutrient. Vitamin E is found in abundant amounts in green and growing horse pasture however between 30 – 80% of vitamin E is lost between cutting and baling of horse forage and this loss is continued while the forage is in storage due to the fragile nature of vitamin E. Winter horse pasture contains little to none of this vitamin so supplementation to equines is essential.

Many research studies have shown that vitamin E is likely to be deficient in the diets of horses that do not have access to continual grazing on fresh green grass or those grazing on winter pasture.

Researchers are continuing to examine the role of vitamin E in horse health, but in agriculture, it has long been known that increased supplementation of vitamin E supports immune function in cattle. Research now suggests much higher levels of horse vitamin E supplementation than is commonly contained in many horse feedstuffs will be beneficial to maintaining and supporting equine health.

Performances horses with demanding workloads, growing horses and seniors or horses suffering from problems can be exposed to increased levels of oxidative stress and therefore may require significantly higher vitamin E levels in their diets.

    My horse has Wobblers Syndrome. After some research I discovered high doses of Natural VitE are really good for neuro symptoms in horses so began the search… and couldn’t find a decent supply anywhere until I came across Forage Plus. My gelding is now on 8000iu per day alongside other supplements from Forage Plus (containing VitE) and so far so good! The advice given by the nutrition team alongside customer service is also fab!

  2. Nicola Mellor (verified owner)

    I have been feeding my horse this Natural VitaminE for nearly 12months now as he suffered from mild tying up and my vet suggested extra VitE for him. It has really helped him and I have found he is much happier in his general work as he has the extra support. Added to this, the advice available from Forage Plus customer services has been excellent.

  3. Gillian Harrison (verified owner)

    Good quality product, this has really helped my horse

  4. Hilary Boughton (verified owner)

    It’s not often you find a supplement of this type that makes a noticeable difference, but Forageplus Natural Vitamin E has been a Godsend for me.
    I initially bought some and the improvement was quite incredible.
    I also have a horse who recently developed quite serious out of character behavioural problems. I suspected he was affected by toxins. I started him on about 5,000 IU per day of the Vitamin E and noticed a difference within a week. A couple more weeks on and his behaviour is back to normal.
    Forageplus are a great company with good customer service and communications.

    Immune system is super after changing diet and adding Vitamin E

  6. Joanmo (verified owner)

    Really good service. My Mares coat is best it’s ever been only 2 months on this. Farrier is really pleased with her hoof growth during corrective shoeing delighted to have my Cob back in work

  7. Chris (verified owner)

    Excellent service and excellent product. Metabolic horse eats it no problem.

  8. Johanna Selter

    I highly recommendate the natural vit. E in stead of chemical one. Almost in every research you can read that there is evidence that it is much more effective because the body can better absorb it. So the more expensive natural variant I highly recommendate. If you give selenium too its a must to give the best vit E you can get!

  9. Johanna Selter

    I give my horses vitamin E natural in combination with Selenium. It worked perfect. The hoof quality is much better and I am very satisfied with the product. I pay a lot of effort to imported this product to Sweden where I live, but it is absolutely the best I can get.

  10. Annie Keetch (verified owner)

    Both my horses are on a grass free track system so naturally don’t have Vitamin E as they have no green forage. Since feeding Vitamin E their coats are much glossier but most of all the one who has a compromised immune system has shown improvement. Very pleased with this product!

  11. Hilary Boughton (verified owner)

    I have used Vitamin E for my horse with and I now use it to help maintain healthy muscle. Forageplus Vitamin E always arrives quickly and is well packaged. I also like the fact that I can choose whatever size of scoop I want, or choose not to have one at all if I already have a scoop. Great product and great service.

  12. Sarah Whereat (verified owner)

    Excellent quality product and value for money. No problems feeding to my fussy horse. He is on restricted grass so this keeps him topped up on his vit E!

  13. Kelly Elliott

    Good supplement, especially for performance horses in hard work and travelling to competitions and being exposed to high-pressure environments.

  14. Becky Jones

    Amazing products my friend bought some for her horse and let me also use it with my EMS horse to see if it would help him. Wow what a difference in him. Due to him not being able to have much grass and poor quality grass when he can have it this product filled the much needed gaps. He is an older horse with not a good immune system and this product has made a huge difference to him and thus he seems much better on his feet now and is getting the nutrients he needs due to poor grazing and soaked hay.

  15. Michelle King (verified owner)

    Top quality supplement. Really helps keep my horses in top condition

  16. Li

    When I added your Vitamin E, my horses mane and fur got so much better.

  17. Laluna (verified owner)

    Since feeding the Synthetic Vitamin E I have noticed softer muscles and even more energy when riding. I feed two scoops a day to my 16.2 hh 560 kg horse. She is usually in medium work. Jumped and hunts twice a month. The product comes well packed and wrapped (bubblewrap). I feed high amounts of copper and zinc and other minerals so didn’t notice a difference in her quality of feet at first as hers are good anyway. I would say that her mane and tail are growing faster though. Overall performance is higher.
