Our Natural Vitamin E supplement provides a highly bioavailable source of pure d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate with no added fillers. Vitamin E is essential for immune function, muscle health, neurological support and antioxidant defenses. Horses on a hay-based diet require supplemental Vitamin E in their diet.

Mad Barn's Natural Vitamin E is convenient to add to any horse's feeding program, ensuring they meet their nutritional requirements and benefit from optimal antioxidant protection.

Unlike competitor products, our pure Vitamin E powder contains no fillers and is highly concentrated, providing 600,000 IU/kg of d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. Known as natural Vitamin E, d-alpha-tocopherol has significantly higher bioavailability than synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol).

Our bulk natural Vitamin E also offers exceptional value, with an easy-to-feed formulation that can be adjusted to provide your horse with the exact dosage they need. At a typical feeding rate of 1.67 grams (1000 IU) per day, a 500 gram package will last approximately 300 days.

Benefits of Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that binds free radicals – unstable molecules that can damage DNA, cell membranes and other structures within cells. Vitamin E supports the health and function of cells by neutralizing free radicals before they can cause oxidative damage.

Oxidative damage in horses due to low vitamin E status may present itself as muscle soreness or slow recovery from exercise and illness.

Nutritional Requirement
Vitamin E must be included in the horse's diet, as their bodies cannot synthesize it internally. A mature horse weighing 500 kg (1,100 lb) requires a minimum of 500 IU of vitamin E daily.

However, senior horses and those affected by illnesses or certain neurological conditions may benefit from higher levels. Equine athletes engaging in high-intensity exercise have elevated vitamin E requirements to support their demanding physical activity.
