Vit-E-Sel Natural Vitamin E Supplement, 5 lb
Vit-E-Sel Natural’s Vitamin E (an antioxidant) and Selenium (a trace mineral) are essential to many functions in the horse including stress tolerance, muscle function, and more. Horses that spend more time in a stall or dry lot are often prone to low levels of Vitamin E and Selenium. Additionally, much of the soil in North America is deficient in Selenium, causing low levels in forage. When considering a Vitamin E and Selenium Supplement for your horse, absorption matters. Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) has been shown to be more easily absorbed. Also in Select’s Vit-E-Sel Natural™, we use an organic form of selenium yeast that is better absorbed, stored and utilized than other inorganic forms. Selenium plays an essential role in metabolism, supporting growth, reproduction, neutralizing free radicals, and supporting the body’s normal defense mechanisms against infection. Selenium is also essential to muscle development, tone and function. - HEIGHT(INCHES): 8.000 - WIDTH(INCHES):8.000 - LENGTH(INCHES):8.000
Vit-E-Sel Natural provides vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin, together with selenium, a trace mineral, ingredients studied for their role in muscle and neurologic function, particularly in regions where forage selenium content is low.
Vitamin E and selenium work together in the body's antioxidant defense system. As a vitamin/mineral supplement, this product is not reviewed or approved by the FDA in the way a drug would be; your veterinarian determines whether additional vitamin E and selenium supplementation is appropriate for your horse, particularly given regional forage selenium levels and any other selenium sources already in the diet.

Selenium has a narrow safety margin compared to many other minerals, and over-supplementation can be harmful; use only the labeled dose and let your veterinarian know about all other feeds, supplements, or ration balancers your horse receives, since many are already fortified with selenium. Contact your veterinarian if you notice signs of concern such as hair loss, hoof changes, or lethargy. As with any supplement, keep your veterinarian informed of everything your horse receives.

Need varies by region and diet — forage selenium content differs widely by geography, and some horses have higher vitamin E needs due to age, workload, or health status. Your veterinarian can advise based on your horse's diet and local forage selenium levels.
Let your veterinarian know about every feed, supplement, and ration balancer your horse receives, since many commercial feeds are already fortified with selenium and over-supplementation can be harmful.
