Vitamin C. 5,000 mg Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) per serving
Horses can produce Vitamin C in their bodies, they may be unable to produce adequate amounts during times of stress, injury, infection, or degenerative conditions. Vitamin C enhances tissue growth and wound healing, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and enhances cardiovascular and immune function. Possibly the most well known benefit of Vitamin C is its use as an antioxidant. Vitamin C is a powerful free radical scavenger. It attacks the loose molecules (free radicals) in the body that are produced during oxidation and inflammation that can cause damage at the cellular level. Vitamin C has certainly earned its name as the workhorse of the vitamins.
Vitamin E. 2500 IU Vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopherol) per serving
Vitamin E enhances muscle tone and endurance in working horses and also improves circulation. Vitamin E improves heart function, enhances the immune system and acts as a potent antioxidant. Deficiency in Vitamin E has been linked to nutritional myopathies such as white muscle disease and deficiencies may be involved in equine motor neuron disease and equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM), a degenerative disease of the spinal cord and brain stem. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E is every important to the diet for their free radical scavenging properties. Free radicals are produced in higher quantities during times of stress such as heavy exercise, illness or injury.
