Addressing Vitamin E Deficiency in Horses
Vitamin E deficiency remains a significant challenge in equine health. Intense exercise, oxidative stress, and limited access to fresh pasture can reduce Vitamin E status and increase nutritional risk throughout different horse life stages.
Key Challenges
- Increased oxidative stress during training and competition
- Declining Vitamin E reserves during prolonged exercise programs
- Limited Vitamin E intake in foals and horses without pasture access
- Risk of deficiency-related neuromuscular and neurological disorders
- Need to protect fats, oils, and sensitive nutrients from oxidation
Natural Vitamin E Solutions for Equine Nutrition and Supplements
Kensing supports equine nutrition with Vitamin E range of naturally sourced RRR-Tocopherol and mixed tocopherols, designed for maximizing bioavailability in animal nutrition or enhancing oxidative stability in oils and lipid-based systems.
Our RRR-alpha-tocopherol delivers Vitamin E in its most bioactive form, ensuring optimal absorption and efficacy. Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural Vitamin E provides the complete active isomer that horses need for robust muscle function, immune support, and peak performance.
Mixed tocopherols act as powerful antioxidants, protecting fats and oils in horse feeds from oxidation, preserving nutritional quality, and extending shelf life.

FAQ Equine Nutrition
How much Vitamin E do performance horses need?
Supplementation levels depend on activity and physiological conditions. Higher intake is required during intense training or periods of oxidative stress.
Why is natural Vitamin E more effective?
Natural Vitamin E provides 100% RRR-alpha-tocopherol, the most bioavailable form, allowing for more efficient absorption and biological activity than synthetic alternatives.
What types of feeds benefit from antioxidants?
How do antioxidants improve stability?
Antioxidants protect ingredients from oxidative degradation, extending shelf life, and preserving nutrient potency during storage and use.
