Elevate W.S. is an oral vitamin E supplement for horses of all classes. Elevate is water-soluble solution, and has no known side effects. This product is the ideal solution for horses who have been maintained on diets containing large quantities of stored forages and processed grains. This diet contains lower volumes of vitamin E, which leads the horse to require supplementation.
Elevate Water-Soluble Natural Vitamin E contains a natural, water-soluble, source of vitamin E in minute particles. This form of the vitamin has greater biological activity than synthetic forms of vitamin E, allowing for delivery to the bloodstream. This targets the organs in a more efficient way than water-miscible or oil-based supplements.
The feeding level depends on the type of horse, level of activity, and nutritional and management practices that affect vitamin E needs.
