AniMed Vitamina E y Ácido Fólico para Caballos (907 g)

What is AniMed Vitamin E & Folic Acid?

AniMed Vitamin E & Folic Acid is a powdered feed supplement formulated specifically for horses. It combines two essential nutrients: vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, and folic acid (vitamin B9), key for DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. This product comes in a 2 lb (907 g) container and is administered at a rate of 1 ounce (28 g) per day, providing a consistent dose to support equine health.

Benefits for Horses

Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress, while folic acid supports protein metabolism and blood cell formation. Together, they help maintain the horse's vitality and performance, especially in situations of high metabolic demand. This supplement is particularly useful in horses receiving medication that inhibits folic acid production, as it helps maintain adequate levels of this vitamin.

• Supports cell function and the immune system.
• Helps maintain energy and stamina.
• Formulated for easy administration mixed with feed.

When is it Recommended?

AniMed Vitamin E & Folic Acid is primarily indicated for horses during the treatment of Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), where it is used in conjunction with the main therapy. It is also recommended for horses receiving drugs such as sulfa-trimethoprim, which can interfere with folic acid synthesis. Its use can be beneficial during periods of stress, competition, or recovery.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dose is 1 ounce (approximately 28 grams) per day, mixed with the horse's usual feed. The product comes in an easy-to-mix powder. It is recommended to consult with a veterinarian to adjust the dose according to the animal's specific needs, especially in cases of illness or medical treatment.

This supplement contains vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate) and folic acid in a base of excipients safe for equine consumption. It contains no added sugars or artificial ingredients.
