For adding vision E I add Vitamin E ?
Sold by lots of people. If you are aiming for RDA dosing then any vitamin E with selenium in it, which is the most common, will do.
If you need to give a higher dose then it must be without selenium as selenium is very toxic in small quantities. Also if you are feeding a certain level of iu for a reason, then you must double the dose if you buy synthetic, because synthetic is only half as bioavailable as natural.
Natural vitamin E isn't that easy to find but Forageplus and Progressive Earth both sell it online.

I feed Nano E which is water soluble and supposedly more easily absorbed that the oil based (including powder form) options.
I'm not sure how this affects the bio availability status, ie is it even more bio-available than oil based natural vitamin E?
I do know that I noticed no difference when I tried the progressive earth natural vit E but found Nano E to be a game changer. I think my horse is one of those who just doesn't absorb the oil based type.

It's proven to be more bioavailable but it's eye watering expensive! Most horses don't need it, for those which do it can be a life saver.

I use the natural vitamin e from Forage Plus. The nano e is incredibly expensive however I think I worked it out once that it wasn't too much more expensive than the FP natural vit e (based on how much IU I typically feed anyways). I've kept with FP because I see the benefits and it's easier for the girls at the yard.
