Vitamin E is traditionally associated with supporting relaxed muscles in horses. At the same time, it is considered a type of natural anti-inflammatory. Therefore, you should feed vitamin E as a supplement to sport horses and horses that are struggling with inflammatory diseases (e.g. laminitis, tendon injuries or a tendency to muscle tension).
Vitamin E for horses can support rehabilitation phases in horses with inflammatory diseases. At the same time, it can noticeably shorten the recovery phases of sport horses.
Because vitamin E is fat-soluble, horses should always be fed with a small amount of linseed oil. This is the only way the body can really benefit from the vitamin and utilize it optimally.
Vitamin E is considered a cell-protecting vitamin. It is a so-called antioxidant. This means that it protects the organism from cell-damaging oxygen radicals, which occur particularly when the body is under high stress (such as in sports horses during training or competition). Did you know that vitamin E even protects the valuable B vitamins and vitamin A from damage? For this reason alone, feeding horses vitamin E is considered to be sensible.
