Vitamin E is an effective an efficient anti-oxidant nutrient. But what exactly are anti-oxidants?

The body is constantly creating energy through the use of nutrients and oxygen. This process of breaking down nutrients and converting them to energy is known as oxidation. While oxidation is a critical process the body must perform to provide energy, this process also produces byproducts called free radicals. These are highly unstable, and in an attempt to stabilize themselves, they steal from healthy cells. Free radicals can quickly damage healthy cells in the body, and begin a chain reaction where more and more damage occurs in a cascading effect.

While normal body functions create free radicals, there are other factors that can greatly increase free radical production. For horses, these main areas of concern are exercise/competition, pregnancy, stress, illness, inflammation and aging.

The greatest need for anti-oxidants is in performance horses, and those who are very active. These horses constantly deal with inflammation from minor sprains and strains (or at times more serious injuries), stress, and the demands of exercise.

Proper supplementation of anti-oxidants can help eliminate free radicals, and limit the damage they can cause. For anyone looking to maintain the health of their horse and prolong their active years, antioxidants are a very good investment.

SU-PER E-8000 contains synthetic Vitamin E. While synthetic Vitamin E is not as effective as a natural Vitamin E, it is much more economical, and still works very well if fed consistently. If you are looking for a natural Vitamin E supplement, please take a look at our SU-PER E Natural.
