NAF Vitamin E & Selenium Plus

NAF Vitamin E & Selenium Plus

Supports muscle function particularly in the performance horse. Very useful in geographical areas where the soil is likely to be selenium deficient. Contains selenium yeast — safer to use than inorganic forms. Vitamin E can have beneficial effects on the horse's performance due to its support of oxygen delivery to the lungs.

Key Benefits

• Vitamin E — supports oxygen delivery to the lungs and muscle function
• Selenium yeast — safer than inorganic selenium, supports muscle health
• Lysine — essential amino acid for muscle protein synthesis
• Ideal for selenium-deficient areas — UK soils are often low in selenium
• Supports performance horses — particularly those in hard work

FAQ

Why is selenium yeast safer than inorganic selenium?

Selenium yeast is an organic form of selenium that is more bioavailable and has a wider safety margin than inorganic selenium (e.g. sodium selenite). This makes it safer for supplementation without risk of toxicity at recommended levels.

Is selenium deficiency common in the UK?

Yes — UK soils are generally low in selenium, meaning horses on UK-grown forage may not receive adequate selenium from their diet alone. Supplementation is often recommended, particularly for performance horses.
