Equine America Vitamin E & Selenium Powder 1kg

Equine America Everyday Vitamin E & Selenium Supplement Powder is a new and improved formula containing essential vitamins and minerals for hard working and competition horses and ponies. Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in the immune system, reproduction, and the correct functioning of nerves and muscles as an antioxidant. Selenium is a trace element that is an important component of a number of selenoproteins and plays a vital role in the immune system, while also acting as an antioxidant when used in combination with vitamin E. Oxidation is the process by which fats, carbohydrates and proteins are metabolized to produce energy, and when this process is accelerated, as energy requirements increase during work, the oxidation process can break down important structural and functional fats, carbohydrates and proteins, such as cell walls and enzymes. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E and selenium, help to protect muscle and other body cells from oxidative damage.
