Synthetic Vitamin E Supplement for Horses - A large brown horse named SJR Katmando, standing in a field

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that functions as an antioxidant. It is often used to help performance horses that experience soreness, as well as horses that require antioxidant support. Vitamin E helps eliminate free radicals and prevent oxidative damage to tissues and it is also supports the proper function of nerves and muscles.

Vitamin E generally is supplied through green forage, though levels begin to diminish once pasture is cut for hay, and little is added to most concentrate feeds. Storage can further destroy some of the Vitamin E content of feed. Adding a high quality Vitamin E supplement such as UltraCruz® Equine Synthetic Vitamin E Supplement for Horses to your horse's diet can help support your horse against the damages of oxidative stress, which can be caused by free radicals.

What is an antioxidant?

Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium are substances that neutralize free radicals to support healthy tissues and organs on a cellular level. Antioxidant support is recommended for horses subject to rigorous exercise and may help to reduce the negative effects of oxidative stress.

What is a free radical?

Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals with the potential to cause damage to cells. Free radicals can be produced naturally by the body during times of heavy exercise.

For a more comprehensive antioxidant formula, we suggest UltraCruz® Equine Antioxidant Supplement for Horses.

For higher bioavailability, we suggest on of our pure Natural Vitamin E supplements: UltraCruz Equine Natural Vitamin E® Supplement for Horses (powder) or UltraCruz Equine Natural Vitamin E® Plus Supplement for Horses (pelleted).

What is the source of this vitamin e?  Are there any added fillers, or is this pure vitamin e?  How does this compare to Animed vitamin e?

Hello there! This is sourced from a synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol) powder with no added fillers, preservatives or flavors.

I have been told that Vitamin E is difficult for a horse to absorb so a lot goes to waste....also that synthetic was even more difficult that natural vitamin E to absorb...any suggestions? Thanks!

Asked by: mom2five
Hello! The natural is more bio-available which is why it is recommended more. As far as absorbing goes, each horse is different and processes supplements differently. Our Vitamin E is at a very high IU which allows for more to be absorbed, making it more effective than other products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Keeps my TB feeling loose and happy to workI've used this product since January and it keeps my boy feeling loose and happy in his work. Prior to using he required 10-15 minutes of forward walking to loosen over his topline, now while we still walk the same amount we are able to begin our walk "work" from the get go. He also was getting stuck in his left lead with difficulty separating his hind legs, over Vit E was added both leads were fluid. I saw notable results within a week with continued progress with maintenance use. He was on fresh grass all summer but is ready to restart this winter. I've recommended to many, also satisfied friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Equine Vit EI mix my miles, horses, donkeys minerals to hay analysts, I got the vit E because I had ran out of the caplet form and while researching found this, I use other Santa Cruz products and the shipping and service is always super. Even my picky eater will eat this powder mixed with the tiny bit of alfalfa pellets and mineral mix they get. One of my mules was sticky in the stifle and now shows no signs of any problem. This is a great quiltiy product that is hard to find. Thank you Santa Cruz for having this and your super service! Keep it coming!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Palatable and Easy to UseI would prefer using the natural form of vitamin e, but the price keeps going up, so this synthetic is a great substitute (just use a little more to make up for it not being absorbed as well) and very economical. The horses all seem to find it palatable and it is easy to use. Santa Cruz seems to offer the best price for both the synthetic and natural forms of this vitamin, so it is a good choice for those of us trying to keep up with multiple horses.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Appears to be helpingI added this to my horses' diet this spring while they were still eating hay before the pasture turned green. Their coats are sleek and shiny, and I feel like they look more muscular than normal, even my mare who is on stall rest. I usually prefer pellets, but the powder is very palatable, the horses lick up the excess powder out of their feed pans.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good product, good priceOf course natural vitamin E is always the way to go but I haven't really noticed a difference when I feed the synthetic vitamin E especially when I feed it in the summer when the horses are getting lots of fresh grass from the pasture. The price is definitely a selling point for me and the horses eat it just fine in their food.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to feed/good priceI wanted to add Vite E to my mare's diet since green grass is sparse in Amarillo now. This product is easy to feed and the price fits my budget. I have found that additional E supports her overall well being. We'll see how she looks in the spring! Santa Cruz carries a great line of products, very happy to have found them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value!Ultracruz has the best price per IU of Vitamin E (both the synthetic and natural) and I love the powder as my cushings horse doesn't need any extra sugar or ingredients--plus it's cost effective! Both of my horses eat it no problem in their soaked grain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great priceBegan using Vitamin E when my horse was showing some back weakness. The price of the previous supplement was 2x the amount for the exact same product. We have her on a maintenance does now combined with Vit C and it has really helped.
