Natural Vitamin E Pellets by SmartPak (formerly SmartE)

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports a healthy immune system and helps neutralize free radicals, the damaging byproducts of normal cellular activity. While this important nutrient is found naturally in fresh grass, levels begin to drop the moment grass is cut for hay. Horses without access to pasture, as well those in heavy work or under stress, should receive supplemental Vitamin E. Research shows natural Vitamin E may be the most effective form.?Natural Vitamin E Pellets by SmartPak provide your horse with 2,500 IU of natural Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol) in a tasty pellet your horse is sure to love!

Don't have to worry about them not getting the full required amount of vitamin E anymore. The horses don't even know its in their grain.

I bought this product to help with the healing process for my horse who was diagnosed with EPM. He was also on Marquis. We have seen significant improvement in one month! I will keep him on this supplement forever, it helps boost the immune system & has helped his dry skin also.

I have continued to notice an increase in muscle while keeping my gelding on this over the winter. Will more than likely put him right back on it next winter too because there will not be any grass for him to get Vitamin E from.

When I opened the container, it was only half full. For the price, I was expecting a lot more product :( But I will say my horse eats it readily. I will not be purchasing again.

Well, my picky-eater gelding actually likes it, so this is a bonus! Can't say if I have seen a difference yet or not in his muscling because he has only been on it a month. I am going to order another month for him and am hoping I can see a difference.

Our Vet recommended "Natural" vitamin E for both our arthritic 22 yr old horse and our growing 5 yr old. They both eat it up eagerly. I perfer the pellet form to the powder to be sure nothing is wasted. They both seem to be doing well on the supplement.

My PSSM/IR horse needs natural vitamin E to help with muscle function. Was using the Vit E gel caps purchased from the drugstore, until one day I noticed a couple gel caps in his shavings. His condition had gone downhill a little too, which made more sense NOW that I realized he was spitting out the gel caps. So, a month ago, I switched to pelleted Vit E and my gelding is doing better again. Unfortunately, the cost is about $12 more a month.

this product makes it so much easier to feed the horses in my barn natuaral vitamin E. prior to smartpaks pelleted natural vitamin E becoming available our vet recommended using human E capsules and squeezing the oil on the grain. Smartpak has made it so much easier.

After my horse had the Wobbler Surgery, Dr. Barrie Grant recommended he receive Vitamin E. I tried Elevate and my horse didn't seem to appreciate the taste nor did it last very long. I tried another Vitamin E product which was a powder but my horse loves to sift through his feed so we had to add hay stretcher that was made into a mush. After trying this product, he eats it without knowing and has been improving readily.

Our 31 year old pony had a compressed spinal cord. Our vet recommended Vitamin E. This product has the very high level of vitamin E, that the vet recommended. So far so good. He is moving well, and has more flexibility in his neck. He does not seem to be experienceing the pain that we was from the initial compression.

My mare was recently diagnosed with PSSM and therefore needs a natural vitamin E supplement. She's a super picky eater and it can be really hard to get her to eat supplements, but she has no trouble with this one!

I own a Paint gelding that was diagnosed with EPM 5 years ago. I treated him successfully. I put him on the vitamin e just to give him a little boost. We had a great show season, I give some credit to the supplement and some to the patience and understanding of this awful disease.

I needed a Vitamin E product with natural Vitamin E in a pelleted form. It is too soon to tell if the product has raised my horse's Vitamin E level but I am happy to say that she is eating every bit of it.

About 6 months ago my horse was diagnosed with shivers, to help with this the vet recommended getting her on a regular vitamin E supplement. Smartpak had the best prices that I could find for a natural vitamin E, which can be quite expensive. My horse is also an extremely picky eater and will quit eating her grain all together if she doesn't like the taste of a supplement in it. I have tried both the pellets and non pellets that smartpak offers. She was willing to eat both of them, but she seems to prefer the pellets. It seems like she doesn't even notice that the pellets are mixed into her grain whereas the powder bothered her. Since starting her on the supplements, her shivers symtoms have completely disappeared. So if you have an extremely picky eater, I would recommend going with the pellets, but overall they are both good products.

I use this for my two EPM horses. They recovered much more easily using the Vitamin E. Did not use it for the first treatment but very glad I used it for the second
