Size: 3 Pound A Natural Vitamin E Supplement for Horses What is Elevate® Maintenance Pellets Elevate® Maintenance Pellets is powerful, research-proven source of natural vitamin E for horses. It is highly bioavailable because it is easily absorbed and used by the body’s tissues. This helps the tissue’s cells fight oxidative stress, which limits cell damage. The end result is maintaining healthy muscle, nerve, and reproductive functions and supporting a strong immune response. Studies have shown that Elevate’s natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) is preferentially absorbed as compared to synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate). Additionally, Elevate Maintenance Pellets is helpful for horses needing a low-sugar option. Signs of vitamin E deficiency in horses Stiff before exercise and sore after Poorly developed topline Evidence of muscle weakness/wasting Lack of energy or sour attitude Neurological issues, impaired balance or coordination Weak immune response Why vitamin E supplementation for horses is needed Vitamin E is classed as an “essential nutrient” because horses can’t synthesize the nutrient themselves. Therefore, they must obtain it entirely from their diet, and they cannot function normally without it. The best source of vitamin E is fresh green grass, but a horse’s vitamin E levels can drop when he is on winter pasture or if his stabling or competition routine means he doesn’t have continual access to good pasture. This is why many horses’ diets need vitamin E supplementation. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce effects of the oxidative stress that can damage muscles, nerves, and immune response.
