Elevate W.S. Water-Soluble Natural Vitamin E Supplement, 8oz

Elevate W.S.’s unique formula is the most bioavailable source of natural vitamin E  (d-alpha-tocopherol)   on the market today. Developed to increase circulating blood levels quickly, it has become the product of choice for veterinarians managing horses and foals with neurological and muscular disorders, compromised immune response, or low fertility rates.

Vitamin E plays an important supportive role

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that limits the damage caused by oxidative stress and the actions of free radicals. It maintains healthy muscle and nerve function and supports a strong immune system in horses of all ages.

Vitamin E cannot be synthesized by the horse; therefore, it is considered an essential nutrient. The best source of vitamin E is fresh green grass; however, the potency of vitamin E declines very quickly once forages are harvested and dried. Multiple research studies have shown that vitamin E is often deficient in the diets of horses that do not have access to continual grazing on fresh green grass, or those grazing on winter pasture.

Performances horses with demanding workloads, horses suffering from neurological disease, metabolically challenged horses, or compromised horses of any age can be exposed to increased levels of oxidative stress and therefore require additional vitamin E supplementation. In cases of acute illness it may become imperative to raise circulating vitamin E levels very quickly.

• The natural vitamin E in Elevate W.S. has undergone state-of-the-art processing that converts it to a water-soluble molecule, which is absorbed more efficiently. When administered, Elevate W.S will quickly increase circulating blood levels of vitamin E.

• Elevate W.S. vitamin E is readily available and effective in crossing the blood-brain barrier, which makes it helpful in the management of neurologically challenged horses.

Elevate W.S. can be used to increase circulating blood levels of vitamin E quickly. Its unique water-soluble formula is highly digestible. It is readily available to and efficiently retained in the tissues of the horse. Elevate W.S. is effectively absorbed through the blood-brain barrier.

Recommended for:

• Horses with limited access to fresh green pasture or those grazing on winter pasture
• Horses maintained on high-forage diets, including overweight horses, laminitic horses, insulin-resistant or metabolically challenged horses
• Broodmares, foals, and stallions
• Horses in exercise, training or competition
• Senior horses
• Horse stressed from short-distance trailering or long-distance shipping
• Horses challenged by the following conditions:
• Acute or chronic muscle disorders
• Compromised immune function
• Decreased reproductive efficiency
• Neurological disease
• Broodmares with a history of foals exhibiting failure of passive transfer (PFPT or FPT)
• Sick foals

The feeding level depends on the type of horse, level of activity, and nutritional and management practices that affect vitamin E needs.

FEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS

• Maintenance: 1,000 IU/day

• Stalled horses or horses maintained on poor pasture: 1,000-2,000 IU/day

• Intense training: 3,000 IU/day

• Pregnant and lactating mares: 3,000 IU/day

• Foals: 3,000 IU/day

Amounts over 3000 IU can be safely fed under a veterinarian’s direction.

To determine supplementation by weight – administer daily at the rate of 0.2-0.6 mL per 100 lb (0.4-1.2 mL per 100 kg) of body weight to deliver 1,000-3,000 IU per day.

For best results, Elevate should be fed soon after removal from bottle.

Do not allow Elevate W.S. to sit out of bottle for prolonged periods of time on feed or in oral syringe.

Elevate W.S. should not be mixed into complete feeds and stored for prolonged periods of time.

Storage and shelf life:

Store Elevate W.S. at room temperature or under refrigeration. Avoid freezing or excessive heat. Reseal lid during storage. (Administer product shortly after removal from bottle.)
