Reproductive benefits for breeding stallions, and pregnant and lactating broodmares
The availability and necessity of vitamin E in equine diets is well established. When healthy horses are given frequent access to fresh green forage such as good-quality pasture, there is little need for supplementation of vitamin E. However, many horses today are managed without fresh forage in their diets. These horses can survive in such management systems, but they will likely not be consuming sufficient vitamin E for optimal health.
Vitamin E is first and foremost an antioxidant, an agent that keeps free radicals from forming and potentially weakening cells and tissues. In addition to its antioxidant responsibilities, vitamin E is vital to immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular, and reproductive functions. Therefore, supplementation with an effective vitamin E supplement is recommended for all horses that do not consume a significant quantity of green pasture.
Natural Vitamin E Is Preferred
Research has revealed that vitamin E varies in its potency, based on whether it is natural or synthetic. The chemical structures of synthetic and natural vitamin E differ. Natural vitamin E is recognized as d-alpha-tocopherol, and is made up of a single isomer. Synthetic vitamin E, termed dl-alpha tocopherol, contains a mixture of eight different isomers, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Of these eight, only one is molecularly equivalent to natural vitamin E. Sources of natural vitamin E, especially NanoE, more effectively raise serum levels when compared to synthetic.
Alpha-tocopherol is the form of vitamin E that is most abundant in the body, and is therefore the most appropriate for use in supplementation.
To make alpha-tocopherol stable for use in most supplements, it must be chemically joined with an acid during manufacture, a process called esterification. The acid, in this case acetate, acts as a padlock or protective cap that shields alpha-tocopherol from the damages caused by exposure to oxidative forces. Without esterification, alpha-tocopherol can quickly denature, losing its antioxidant properties and rendering it ineffective.
Once ingested, esterified alpha-tocopherol is subjected to normal digestive enzymes. A certain group of enzymes called esterases are chemically capable of unlocking the padlock created through esterification. Once free, alpha-tocopherol is available for absorption with its antioxidant properties intact.
Confinement
Horses that do not have access to pasture may not be consuming optimal levels of vitamin E. NanoE provides this essential vitamin in a form that is easily absorbed, and is appropriate for horses of all ages that are stabled due to training schedules, travel, or injury.
Performance
Horses asked to work strenuously benefit from NanoE. A regular schedule of training and competition makes performance horses susceptible to muscle damage, which is due largely to oxidative stress. NanoE provides fast-acting antioxidant protection for hard-working horses.
Breeding
Appropriate for broodmares and stallions, NanoE provides optimal antioxidant protection. Broodmares benefit from increased fertility and increased transfer of passive immunity to their foals. Vitamin E supplementation has been linked to increased libido and semen quality in stallions.
Neurological problems
Veterinarians and researchers have found that vitamin E supplementation often helps in recovery from certain neurological problems. NanoE provides natural-source vitamin E in a form that is quickly absorbed.
Stressful events
Prior to relocation, long-distance travel, weaning, or other stress-inducing events, NanoE provides a boost to antioxidant and immune defenses.
Convalescence
Following injuries such as lacerations, puncture wounds, or burns, the addition of NanoE to the diet will increase antioxidant activity and enhance recovery.
Feeding Directions
Daily Use: give 4-8 mL (1000-2000 IU) per 1100 lb (500 kg) horse by mouth or top-dress on feed.
Pre-Competition: give 12-20 mL (3000-5000 IU) per 1100 lb (500 kg) horse 6-12 hours prior to competition or stressful event.
