It is included to contribute to normal antioxidant function, normal immune function, and normal muscle and nerve health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile fresh grass naturally supplies Vitamin E, its concentration decreases as plants mature, and its potency declines rapidly once forage is harvested and dried. Research indicates that between 30% and 80% of Vitamin E activity can be lost between cutting and baling, with further losses occurring during storage. Horses are also not considered efficient at storing Vitamin E, meaning deficiencies can develop relatively quickly without adequate dietary intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertain horses have an increased nutritional requirement for Vitamin E due to elevated oxidative demands.
