Essential For Muscle Health In Performance Horses

Selenium serves as a crucial antioxidant trace element. It is instrumental in ensuring the immune system functions properly and is a fundamental part of various selenoproteins. Both Selenium and Vitamin E are particularly significant for supporting muscle health.

The antioxidant functions of these two essential micronutrients are especially vital for hardworking and competitive horses and ponies. The process of oxidation is how fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are converted into energy. However, when energy demands rise during physical exertion, this process can become accelerated, causing the body to break down not only dietary fats and carbohydrates but also critical structural and functional components like cell membranes and enzymes. This oxidation leads to the production of free radicals and other unstable compounds that can further harm cell structures, particularly vital proteins and lipids (fats) in muscle cells.

Antioxidants work to either prevent the creation of harmful free radicals or to neutralize them once they are formed, transforming them into harmless substances within the body.

Vitamin E and Selenium play essential and supportive roles in the antioxidant mechanisms throughout the body, assisting in the protection of muscle and other cellular structures from oxidative harm. It is important to note that too much selenium can quickly lead to toxicity, so the inclusion of a selenium and vitamin E supplement should be carefully evaluated, considering other selenium sources in the diet.

What advantages do Vitamin E & Selenium offer?

Vitamin E possesses antioxidant qualities, while Selenium is crucial for preserving normal muscle tissue and ensuring the stability of red blood cells and the vascular system. The combination of Vitamin E and Selenium is vital for the muscular health of performance horses.
