Organic Selenium and Vitamin E for Horses

NOTE! NEW RECIPE & COMPOSITION

CdG ORGANIC SELENIUM + E contains organic selenium in the form of L-selenomethionine as well as natural RRR-form vitamin E. The product does not contain yeast-based selenium.

Selenium is a trace element that horses require daily through their diet. It is part of the body’s normal antioxidant system and is associated with normal muscle function.

Natural RRR-vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and plays an important role in the normal function of muscles and tissues.

Selenium and vitamin E work synergistically in the body. Selenium is involved in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, while vitamin E protects cell membranes. Together they form a balanced combination that supports normal muscle function and helps maintain the horse’s natural vitality.

Adequate selenium and vitamin E intake is particularly important for actively exercising and sport horses, growing foals, as well as pregnant and lactating mares.

Selenium is also one of the key trace elements involved in normal reproductive function.

In Finland, soil selenium levels are naturally low, which is why selenium intake is typically ensured through complementary feeds.

Insufficient selenium intake may be reflected in muscle function and overall vitality. Ensuring adequate selenium intake is therefore an important part of a balanced feeding program.

CdG ORGANIC SELENIUM + E is combined with chokeberry (aronia), which naturally contains vitamin C and vitamin E, antioxidants, and high levels of polyphenols (including flavonoids). Aronia contributes to the product’s natural antioxidant profile and provides a pleasant taste.
