Horses needing high dose Vitamin E for EPM, PSSM, EDM, muscle problems, and eye problems CAN NOT USE Vitamin E/Selenium combination products due to it would create Selenium Toxicity.
1.Health-E is only pure Vitamin E and has no Selenium in it. There is no toxicity in horses with high dose Vitamin E, so they can get over 10,000 IU a day for months.
2.Selenium has a toxicity level in a 1000 pound horse of approximately 5 mg a day, so they should not be supplemented with more than 3 mg a day.
3.Vitamin E/Selenium combinations all vary in the amount of Vitamin E is combined with 1 mg of Selenium. Some have 200 IU Vitamin E with it, some have 625 IU Vitamin E with it. It is not uniform.
4.Example: An EPM horse needs 10,000 IU a day of Vitamin E. If used a 625 IU Vitamin E plus 1 mg Selenium product, that is 16 scoops to get 10,000 IU of Vitamin E, but that is also 16 mg of Selenium. Over 300% toxic overdose of Selenium. With Health-E, it would be 2 scoops for 11,600 IU Vitamin E and done – safe, easy, low amount of scoops, tasty.

Horse Vitamin E Supplement: Compare Health-E in Strength/Cost to Others

1. Cost:
Health-E – 97 cents a day.
Target – Nature Made – $1.08 a day – over 15% more cost.
Kmart – Spring Valley – $1.09 a day – over 15% more cost.
2. Stability: Most grocery store brands have no expiration date. No idea if any good. Many brands do not have all 8 forms of Vitamin E, so again not sure. Many brands are not ester stable – they may have no potency if exposed to light/heat. Health-E is freshness dated, ester stable, and stable in heat/light/air.
3. Time: Health-E is one (1) scoop and go – 5000 IU to your horse. Capsules take time to poke with a needle, squeeze out oil. Half of it ends up on your hands, on bucket walls, on your counter – lots of waste.
**Fun Fact: You waste 6 hours per year of your life poking capsules if you spend just one minute a day doing it. Make life easy with Health-E!
