| I'm wanting to add this to my horse's diet, but there's soooo many companies/choices. Vet recommended Elevate liquid form. Then I hear NanoE is the same, maybe a bit cheaper. I was told to stay away from synthetic forms, only feed natural which I get. Then I see some companies have it in pelleted form too. Anyone feed this with testimonies? Thank you |

| I feed Swanson natural vitamin e capsules. Works awesome. I get the 400 iu caps in a 250 count bottle. I feed 4 to 5 caps a day per horse or as much as the recommended by the vet to up their vitamin e to. Horses eat them right up in their feed. They are in soybean oil in the cap so it has a fat source like you should have when feeding vitamin e. It comes to about 10 to 14 dollars a bottle depending on if you hit their sales. One bottle fed at 5 caps a day for 2000 iu of vit e lasts one horse 50 days! At 10 to 14 a bottle how can you go wrong?? Lol. I started feeding it after my mare was injured and on stall rest for 6 months. She got a vit e deficiency. I used elevate liquid for 2 months. Got her numbers up then switched to swanson caps. I've fed them for 2 years. Never had issues. |

Thanks for sharing!! This sounds much more affordable to feed 2-3 horses on! |

| Absolutely!! And swanson is a reputable human grade supplement company. I've even taken some of their supplements... I try it before I give it to my horses!   |

  Location: Illinois | I use MVP Natural E. I really like it. Mine have no access to grass at all so that's why I chose to add it. One can't have grass at all because of his Cushings and it also should be helping to keep his immune system strong. I started my 6 year old on it last year because someone suggested to try it for her loose stifles that would catch. It has helped her muscles get stronger & they don't catch nearly as much. |
