What horses need Elevate W.S.?
Performance Horses
- Wards off muscle stiffness and soreness
- Speeds up recovery after intense work
- Horses feel better, so they perform better
Broodmares and Foals
- Boosts fertility in mares
- Increases immunity in foals
Horses Without Access to Pasture
- Hay and grains contain little vitamin E
Wide Scope of Application
Elevate is appropriate for horses of all ages and breeds. In particular, supplementation with Elevate is essential for horses that do not have regular access to pasture. The vitamin E content of dried forages such as hay and hay cubes is severely diminished, with such forages losing more than 75% of their vitamin content upon harvesting and storage. Therefore, vitamin E supplementation is most critical for equine athletes that are confined to stalls and fed diets composed largely of preserved forages (such as racehorses and show horses).

Elevate W.S. and the Performance Horse - A Winning Combination!
Hardworking horses require optimal levels of vitamin E to ensure proper muscle function. Equine athletes that do not possess adequate stores of vitamin E may experience muscle soreness or stiffness during an exercise bout and prolonged recovery following strenuous work. more...
Broodmares and Foals
Insure Reproductive Efficiency
Recent research has lauded the use of vitamin E on breeding farms. Mares supplemented with vitamin E have shown increased passive transfer of antibodies to foals, which ensures strength of the neonatal immune system. There is also increasing evidence that vitamin E supplementation may boost fertility in mares. In some areas of the country that are characterized by selenium-deficient soil, all newborn foals are given vitamin E to stave off white muscle disease, a muscle-wasting syndrome brought about by vitamin E and/or selenium deficiencies. more...
Horses with Neuromuscular Disease
Over the past several years, veterinarians and researchers have studied the effectiveness of vitamin E therapy in battling numerous neurological diseases such as equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM), equine motor neuron disease (EMND), and equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM).
