Vitamins and Minerals

Essential for Muscle Health in Sport Horses

Selenium is a crucial antioxidant element. It plays vital roles in the proper functioning of the immune system and is considered a key component in a number of selenoproteins. Selenium and Vitamin E play a special role in maintaining muscle health.

The antioxidant role of these two key micronutrients is particularly important in horses and ponies that work hard and participate in competitions. Oxidation is the process by which fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are metabolized to produce energy. However, when this process accelerates, as energy demands increase during work, the oxidation process does not distinguish between dietary fats and carbohydrates, and the important structural and functional fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the body, such as cell walls and enzymes, and may begin to break down these elements as well. During the oxidation process, free radicals and other unstable compounds are produced, causing further damage to cellular structures, especially the important structural and functional proteins and fats in muscle cells.

The role of antioxidants is either to stop the formation of harmful free radicals, or to deal with them once formed, converting them into harmless substances in the body.

Vitamin E and selenium play a vital and integrated role in antioxidant processes throughout the body, helping to protect muscles and other body cells from oxidative damage. It should be remembered that consuming selenium in excessive amounts can quickly become toxic, and the addition of selenium and Vitamin E supplements should be carefully considered, in conjunction with other selenium sources in the diet.

What are the benefits of Vitamin E and Selenium?

Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and selenium is essential for maintaining normal muscle tissue, red blood cell stability, and the vascular system. The combination of Vitamin E and selenium is important for muscle health in sport horses.
