NuVena - Vitamin E 330g

Vitamin E is a biological antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals and inhibits their multiplication.
Free radicals contribute to the damage of cell membranes and the genetic material of the cell, which accelerates the aging process, lowers immunity and slows down regeneration. The formation of free radicals is a process that occurs naturally in every organism. When the balance between free radicals and antioxidants is maintained, the body functions properly. A large number of free radicals appear in the body during intense physical exertion, strong or long-term stress, due to polluted air.

These factors increase the demand for antioxidants.

In addition, vitamin E is an important cofactor in the maintenance and repair of connective tissue, collagen, carnitine and hundreds of other physiological processes.
It maintains the proper permeability of cell membranes and prevents blood clots, having a significant effect on the undesirable clumping of platelets.

It also affects muscle efficiency, reduces the concentration of bad cholesterol fractions in the blood and supports the functioning of vision.
Improves the condition of the skin by affecting its elasticity and hydration. It is important for breeding horses, as it supports ovulation and proper development of the fetus.

The supply of vitamin E is particularly important for horses that do not have access to pastures, as well as for all horses outside the grazing period.
Its main source in the diet of horses are green plants, but the content of this vitamin in hay drops drastically after a few weeks after mowing.
Its content in dry farm feed is very low.

Vitamin E is stored in adipose tissue, so horses with too low body weight are more susceptible to its deficiency.
