What does feeding your horse vitamin E supplements do? It is fat soluble, attaching itself to the fatty layer in cell membranes and protects the lipids from oxidative damage. Harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) would weaken the cell walls. This would eventually allow the internal fluids to leak out.

How much horse supplements should we be feeding our horses? For the average horse the National Research Council recommends one thousand internal units (IU) per day. For lactating and pregnant mares that amount doubles.    Two thousand internal units are also recommended for high performance horses. Hardworking horses, it has been discovered from more resent research, could benefit from as much as three thousand internal units daily. 

Look, there’s definitely a reason that veterinarian drugs are desired by many and why taking the lead of race and show horse performance may be the best plan. Sport horses are insanely amazing athletes. Not just your typical race horses, but dressage horses, jumping horses, cross country and steeplechase horses, and so many others there are too many to mention. Basically, these capable athletes are not only as aesthetically pleasing and as muscle solid as you are as a bodybuilder, they tend to be really geared up for performance. They perform like well-oiled machines. Much of that is genetic predisposition and they have evolved over the years to become such powerful animals. But, a lot has been cultivated beyond the regular level of performance and conditioning by way of animal performance and growth drugs and equine specifically equine sports supplements.

The idea is, horses and people aren’t so different in regards to athletic needs. While bodybuilding may be considered an aesthetic-only pursuit, those of us who train all know that in the gym, it’s all about obtaining higher levels of performance! The most exciting thing is, there is a supplement that is based on horse performance principles that is like the supplement version of we have all enjoyed out of veterinary Anabolics over the years. It really is the equivalent in regards to supplementation – something that has up until now been very difficult to obtain in the bodybuilding world.
