Natural E 5,000 is a highly concentrated natural vitamin E pellet to be used as a daily support when higher levels of Vitamin E are indicated. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports a healthy immune system and helps neutralize free radicals, the damaging by-products of normal cellular activity. Natural E 5,000 provides 5,000 IU of natural vitamin E per scoop. Does not contain other vitamins or minerals so daily feeding levels can be easily adjusted to meet your horse’s individual needs without worrying about causing imbalances. It is an excellent way to help provide antioxidant protection for all ages and classes of horses. Horses without access to pasture, as well those in heavy work or under stress, should receive supplemental vitamin E.
Vitamin E (Natural): Natural E is approx. 2.5 times more bioavailable than synthetic vitamin E (4,000 IUs natural vitamin E approximates 10,000 IUs of synthetic vitamin E). Most studies/research indicate 8,000 IU’s -10,000 IU’s (or approx. 3,000-5,000 IU of Natural Vitamin E) during/post therapy for immune support. Vitamin E is considered the most important antioxidant and works closely with selenium to protect the body from the oxidative stress of exercise and illness. Found in high amounts in fresh pasture, levels begin to decay the moment pasture is cut for hay. That is why any horse that does not have access to grass, regardless of its activity level or health, would be a candidate for vitamin E supplementation. Horses are not very efficient in storing vitamin E and deficiency may be accelerated if the diet is deficient in selenium.
What is the difference between Natural Vitamin E and synthetic?
MVP: Vitamin E (Natural): Vitamin E is powerful antioxidant. Natural E is approx. 2.5 times more bioavailable than synthetic vitamin E (4,000 IUs natural vitamin E approximates 10,000 IUs of synthetic vitamin E). Natural E is recognized to be better absorbed and pass through blood brain barrier. Most studies/research indicate 7,500-10,000 IUs of vitamin E during/post therapy for immune support.
Will this help with the development of hind end and topline muscles? if not, what would you recommend for a performance horse in heavy work
MVP: Natural E 5,000 provides 5,000 IUs of natural vitamin E per scoop to support normal nerve & muscle function as well as a healthy immune system. While it does support muscle health, if you are looking to address the normal building of lean muscle, we recommend something with amino acids in it such as In-Sync 4.

How long will a 2lb bag last?
MVP: A 2lb bag contains 32 - 1 oz sevings (5,000 IU's). There are 64 - 1/2 oz servings (2,500 IU's).

I have been using Natural Vitamin E on my gelding and it has worked wonders helping him. I intend to keep him on it permanently. Great product!
I have been using Natural Vita E 5000 for 2 months. Its easy to use in the pellet form.The difference in coat, hooves, and performance has been amazing!!Shiny ,healthy and more stamina :)
This is true natural vitamin E not synthetic. My horse needs E and this product as a daily supplement works great. I wouldn’t use anything else.
MVP’s natural vitamin E has been a real boost in getting my dressage horse back into condition for training.
