Vitamins for horses

Vitamins are important for the horse’s well-being. There are many different types of vitamins, and each has different functions in the horse’s body. Some vitamins are produced by the horse itself, while others need to be added through the feed.

C Boost is a sodium ascorbate, a good acid-neutral source of vitamin C that strengthens the immune system, improves oxygenation, and protects the body’s cells.

Wheat Germ Oil is a good source of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, and E. These are important to add if you are feeding processed roughage, as processed roughage loses its vitamin content. Vitamins A, D, and E are important for fertility, immune function, bones, and coat health.

Vitamins for Horses – Feed Supplements

The horse's need for vitamins varies depending on age, activity level, diet, and season. To ensure optimal health and performance, it may be necessary to supplement with vitamin supplements. Here is a complete guide to the most important vitamins for horses and how they affect the body.

Why are vitamins important for horses?

Vitamins are essential nutrients that regulate a variety of biological processes in the horse’s body. They contribute to:

- A strong immune system

- Healthy skin and a shiny coat

- Normal growth and development

- Good fertility and recovery

- Proper muscle and nerve function

Vitamins can either be provided through feed (natural grazing, roughage, concentrate feed) or through supplements if needed. During winter or periods of high training and stress, the need may increase.

Vitamin C for horses – C Boost

Why: Vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbate is a powerful antioxidant. It supports the immune system and can be particularly important during stress, training, illness, or lack of fresh grazing.

Benefits:

- Protects body cells against oxidative stress

- Supports wound healing and recovery

- Increases circulation and strengthens the immune system

Vitamins A, D, and E – Wheat Germ Oil

Vitamin A: Important for eye health, reproduction, and immune function. A deficiency can lead to reduced fertility and infections.

Vitamin D: Regulates calcium and phosphorus balance in the body and is crucial for strong bones.

Vitamin E: An antioxidant that protects cells, promotes good muscle and nerve function, and contributes to a healthy, flake-free coat.

Together, these vitamins provide complete protection and support for horses at all stages of life.

Does my horse need vitamin supplements?

All horses have different needs depending on:

Content of the diet – for example, E-vitamin is quickly depleted in processed hay

The horse’s activity level and stress level

Access to grazing – summer pasture provides natural vitamin sources
