Complementary feed for horses
Highly concentrated vitamin E, lysine, and selenium provide optimal protection for muscle fibers.
Application
EQUIPUR - top E adequately covers the increased need for vitamin E, selenium and lysine in sport and high-performance horses. This effectively protects the sensitive muscle fibers from destruction by harmful substances and optimizes muscle metabolism, thus sustainably improving physical resilience, willingness to perform and rideability.

Composition
Dextrose, oatmeal flour, dicalcium phosphate.
Instructions for proper use
Horses (500 kg): 30 g per day
Young horses and ponies: 15 g per day given with the feed.
In cases of heavy physical exertion, twice the amount may be administered.
Due to the increased content of selenium daily ration should not be more than quadrupled.
Feeding period
For maximum effectiveness, this product should be applied for a period of at least three weeks. Feeding for a longer period or the whole year round does not pose any problems and will be beneficial.
General findings of nutritional science
In all sport and high-performance horses, the musculoskeletal system, and in particular the muscles, are exposed to extreme stress. The sensitive muscle fibers must be protected from destruction by harmful substances and supplied with sufficient oxygen and nutrients. The body can only fulfill these tasks if it has a regular supply of vitamin E, selenium, and lysine in sufficiently high doses.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and must always be taken with food. Its main effect is as an "antioxidant" in the area of the cell membranes. It protects these from destruction by aggressive harmful substances. Vitamin E also improves the supply and utilization of oxygen in the muscles, thereby significantly increasing the performance of the muscle fibres. A vitamin E deficiency can lead to tension and stiffness, especially in the back muscles, as well as inflammation and degenerative changes in the muscle fibers with irreparable movement disorders and lameness. These functional and performance impairments naturally also affect the heart muscles and can even lead to sudden cardiac death.
Together with vitamin E, selenium protects the cell membranes from damaging oxygen compounds (free radicals) and is essential for the functionality and structure of the heart and skeletal muscles.
Lysine is an essential amino acid and plays an important role in muscle metabolism. By stimulating creatine synthesis (energy transporter), it significantly improves the energy metabolism of the muscles.
INFOBOX
What role does vitamin E perform in horse feeding?
Vitamin E plays a central role both in muscle metabolism and as an important antioxidant. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it promotes the stamina and performance of horses. Due to its property as a so-called radical scavenger - protecting body and muscle cells from premature destruction - it prevents premature muscle or immune deficiency. Horses with a vitamin E deficiency often show a drop in performance, muscle weakness, tiredness and the reproductive ability of breeding horses can be impaired. The need for vitamin E increases during pregnancy, stress or illness, for example.
Vitamin E in combination with lysine and selenium increases cell protection and promotes muscle development before premature breakdown during hard training. Lysine and vitamin E protect the muscle cell and increase endurance, especially when under strain or at the start of training after a long period of standing.
