Vitamin E and selenium deficiencies are common because most horses aren’t out on fresh pasture grass where they can consume rich sources of vitamin E and selenium. After hay is cut, it loses a lot of its nutritional value making supplementation necessary. All of Platinum’s wellness formulas have a maintenance level of vitamin E and selenium (1,100 IUs of vitamin E and 0.8 mg of selenium). To provide more advanced levels, Vitamin E and Selenium Yeast can be added to any wellness formula.

Vitamin E works as an antioxidant, helping to support cell activity and protects cell membranes from free radicals. It is often used to help performance horses that experience temporary muscle soreness.
Selenium Yeast is a more bio-available form of selenium (1 g of selenium yeast contains 2 mg of elemental selenium), an essential trace mineral and antioxidant. Selenium activates the antioxidant enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase and provides the body with nerve, muscle and joint support. Selenium is also essential for enhancing the antioxidant effects of vitamin E.

“I started using Platinum Performance after Sophie, my 10-year-old Paint mare, came up lame. After months of x-rays and ultrasounds and no answers, my vet suggested we do a trace mineral blood test and a hay analysis. The results showed she was critically low in selenium. Within a matter of months, she was finally starting to feel good again. Sophie is a whole other horse now. I’ve showed her in reining and now we’re doing jumping and cutting. There’s nothing she can’t do. She feels great, and it shows.”

“I use Platinum Performance Equine to ensure my show horses are in optimum condition. In west Texas, the soil is sandy and causes a lack of nutrients within our forage. With Platinum Performance, my horses will receive the minerals to perform at their best. I’ve seen improvement in their body and coat condition, as well as their recovery time between shows.”
