Ep. 2: Vitamin E for Horses: Why Your Horse Might Need More
Apr 28, 2023 Season 1 Episode 2

Vitamin E has become one of the most talked-about nutrients in horse nutrition and for good reason. This powerful antioxidant plays a key role in muscle health, immune function, and the nervous system. While fresh grass is a natural source, many horses don’t get enough year-round, especially those without consistent pasture access.

In this episode, Clair and Michelle break down everything you need to know about Vitamin E for horses, including:

  • The different forms of Vitamin E and which are most bioavailable
  • Signs your horse might be deficient
  • Diseases and conditions linked to low Vitamin E
  • Testing and supplementation strategies that work

If you’ve ever wondered whether your horse could benefit from extra Vitamin E, this episode is for you.
