What is Selenium Yeast for Horses?

Our selenium yeast for horses is a highly absorbable organic form of selenium produced from a natural yeast strain. It has been manufactured to mimic mother nature, providing a highly available 2 mg per gram of horse selenium.

This selenium supplement is considered more bioavailable and less toxic than inorganic forms of selenium, such as sodium selenite or sodium selenate. It is produced by fermenting yeast in a selenium-rich medium. This process results in the incorporation of selenium into the yeast’s cellular structure, making it easier for the horse’s body to absorb and utilise.

Our selenium yeast is free from any fillers, additives or bulking agents. Selenium is an essential trace mineral for whole horse body health. Supported by more than 30 years of research.

Our selenium yeast supplement is an extremely potent antioxidant involved in the biosynthesis of selenoproteins, important for protecting cell structures and cell membranes.

The amounts of selenium found within forage can vary, however, selenium levels are often shown as being low in our forage analysis but supplementation should be used with care, as only very tiny amounts are needed in the horse’s diet.

The Benefits of Selenium for Horses

  • Supports the health of the brain/nervous system, heart skeletal muscles and rapidly growing tissues
  • Maintains healthy muscle performance and recovery in hard-working horses
  • Vital for healthy immune function
  • Colostrum quality and efficient transfer of selenium from mare to foal
  • Normal reproductive function
  • Exercise tolerance

The Precautions of Selenium Supplementation

CAUTION high levels of selenium for horses can be toxic. Either use forage analysis or check whole blood selenium before supplementation.

Free from any prohibited substances as defined under Jockey Club and FEI rules.

Forageplus does not advise the feeding of separate minerals unless levels have been checked through carrying out a forage analysis.  The ratios of minerals are important and feeding one mineral without supplementing correct levels of another can be detrimental to horse health.  If you are uncertain of mineral levels then feeding either a Forageplus Equine Balancer or carrying out analysis of forage is wise.

    We don’t need to add a lot of selenium to balance our forage, and this always has a good long date on so it’s never wasted. A high quality, economical product that I’ve now been regularly using for years (and will continue to use long into the future)

  2. Rowena Gilbert (verified owner)

    palatable, works well for my selenium deficient horse
