Vitamin E (d-a-tocoferol) plus Selenium 150 softgels
Besides these Vitamin E softgels we expanded our assortment with Vitamin E + Selenium softgels. This is a dietary supplement for horses in regular or intensive training. To maintain and support healthy muscle function and to protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
Vitamin E and Selenium contribute in different ways to the elimination of free radicals. For optimal protection against oxidative damage, there must be sufficient uptake of Vitamin E and selenium. If the dietary content of Vitamin E and Selenium is insufficient, supplementation with Vitamine E (d-a-tocoferol) plus Selenium softgels is advised.
Both natural vitamin E (d-alfa-tocoferol) and organic selenium will be absorbed by the body sufficiently.
Why choose natural Vitamin E?
For most vitamins, there is little difference between the natural and synthetic forms of the vitamins. With vitamin E however, it is important to choose a natural form. Research has shown that natural vitamin E supplements provide a greater increase in alpha-tocopherol plasma levels in horses*.

Indications d'utilisation
Recommended dosage:
The dosage for a horse of 600 kg is 2 softgels per day.
In case of illness (selenium deficiency) or heavy work, this can be increased to 6 - 10 softgels per day.
It is not recommended to go much go much higher in the dosage, because selenium then becomes toxic. If a higher dosage of vitamin E is desired to this treatment Vitamin E softgels without selenium can be added to this treatment.
