What horses are most likely to benefit from Vitamin E supplementation?

Horses kept primarily on hay, horses with limited grazing opportunities, performance horses, breeding animals, growing horses, and horses requiring additional nutritional support are commonly supplemented with Vitamin E as part of a balanced nutrition program.

What is DHA and why is it important?

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that plays an important role in maintaining healthy cell membranes throughout the body. DHA is commonly included in advanced equine nutrition programs to support overall wellness, neurologic health, and normal inflammatory balance.

Why does VetCS Vital E+ use algae-derived DHA instead of fish oil?

The DHA in Vital E+ comes from algae, the original source of DHA in the marine food chain. Algae-derived DHA provides a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids without relying on fish-based ingredients. Many horse owners prefer algal DHA because it is a more natural fit for herbivores and is highly palatable.

If my horse has tested low for Vitamin E, how many pumps should I give?

We recommend consulting with your veterinarian; a good starting point is 2 pumps per day which delivers 5000IU of natural Vitamin E; maintenance doses are 2500IU for most horses. Work with your veterinarian to determine if rechecking Vitamin E levels is necessary for your horse. Typical loading doses (2 pumps per day) should last for 60 days.

How do I know if my horse is getting enough Vitamin E?

The only way to accurately assess Vitamin E status is through blood testing. Your veterinarian can help determine whether supplementation may be appropriate and recommend an intake level based on your horse's individual needs.

How is Vital E+ administered?

Vital E+ is an easy-to-feed oil that can be mixed into your horse's daily grain or concentrate ration. Most horses readily accept the palatable formula.

Why does my horse need Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that supports normal muscle, nerve, immune, and cellular function. Horses obtain Vitamin E naturally from fresh green pasture, but levels decline rapidly once forage is harvested and stored as hay. As a result, many horses with limited pasture access benefit from supplemental Vitamin E.

Why Choose VetCS Vital E+?

Rich source of Omega fatty acids to support overall wellness
Contains DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), an important Omega-3 fatty acid
Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) for antioxidant support
Easy daily feeding- simply pump onto feed or administer as directed
Suitable for horses of all sizes with adjustable dosing

An easier solution to supporting your horse's muscles, joints, and skin all in one easy pump that horses love. Many Vitamin E supplements require you to pull up liquid in syringes, making feeding time more complicated; a pump solution ensures easy administration to simplify feeding routines especially in boarding barns.

Unlike many omega supplements, Vital E+ provides DHA from a sustainable algal source rather than fish oil. Because horses are herbivores, we chose an algae-derived omega-3 that aligns more closely with their natural diet. The oil is refined to remove unwanted marine odors and blended with a natural flax flavor, creating a supplement that is both highly palatable and easy to feed every day.

DHA - 1000mg
Vtiamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)- 2500IU

Why VetCS Vital E+ Omega Oil for horses?

Horse owners seeking to support neurologic, muscular, and overall wellness are often forced to purchase separate Vitamin E and DHA supplements, making daily supplementation more complicated, costly, and difficult to manage. VetCS Vital E+ provides a unique all-in-one solution by delivering substantial amounts of both natural Vitamin E and DHA in a convenient, easy-to-feed oil. By combining these two important nutrients into a single daily supplement, Vital E+ helps simplify your horse's wellness program while ensuring consistent intake of nutrients commonly included in advanced equine nutrition protocols.

Unlike many omega-3 products, the DHA in VetCS Vital E+ is sourced from algae rather than fish oil. This distinction is especially important for horses, which are natural herbivores and have not evolved to consume marine-derived ingredients as part of their normal diet. Algal DHA provides a clean, sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids without the odor, palatability concerns, or dietary mismatch often associated with fish-based products. The result is a highly concentrated, horse-friendly formula that combines two of the most sought-after nutrients in equine wellness into one simple daily serving.

Would My Horse Benefit from Vital E+ Omega Oil?

Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E are important nutrients for horses of all ages, but certain horses may benefit even more from targeted supplementation. Horses with seasonal skin and environmental sensitivities, those needing support for normal joint function and mobility, and performance horses experiencing the demands of regular training are commonly supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids to help maintain a healthy inflammatory balance and overall wellness. Because modern equine diets often contain higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids than horses would naturally consume on pasture, adding a quality omega-3 source can help promote a more desirable fatty acid balance.

Vitamin E supplementation is particularly important for horses with limited access to fresh pasture, as fresh green forage is the horse's primary natural source of this essential nutrient. Horses kept primarily on hay, those in dry climates, performance horses, growing horses, breeding animals, and horses requiring additional neurologic or muscular nutritional support often benefit from supplemental Vitamin E. Together, DHA-rich omega-3 fatty acids and natural Vitamin E provide foundational nutritional support for healthy muscles, nerves, joints, immune function, and overall wellness, making them valuable additions to many equine nutrition programs.
