Elevate Maintenance Powder 2lb

I have a foot 14 year old thoroughbred that suddenly started having problems with EPM characteristics. We treated him for that too with no positive effects. When I videoed him walking sideways and showed it to my Vet he suggested this could be a neurological problem that vitamin E could resolve. We put him on liquid Elevate vitamin E. He was walking straighter within a couple of days. We needed a refill on the Elevate I ordered from Santa Cruz only in the powder form which is easier to put on his feed. It works well with molasses in the feed and with carrots that are moist.

Best price compared to other sources. Delivery was quick.

Elevate has been a great addition to my thoroughbred's diet! My vet recommended this product due to the natural source of Vitamin E and the credibility of the brand. I was pleasantly surprised that my picky boy will eat this powdered product when mixed with his normal ration balancer and alfalfa pellets - no added sweeteners necessary!

Great product

I love this Vitamin E supplement. I started both of my horses on this, both for different reasons after talking to my vet/trainer/just reading more about how it is a great all around supplement to have your horses on. Both are doing fantastic on it. My TB lives on a grass pasture 24/7. I started him on this for the neurological and muscling benefits. We've been working on building proper muscle tone and he has been working very hard so I didn't want him to be sore/stiff. We were also worried about some neurological issues with him as he was giving slight signs of potential issues but he has made great improvements on this supplement. The supplement combined with continued proper conditioning has helped nearly eliminate all of the potential neurological issue signs we were worried about when I first got him around a year ago. On the opposite end of the spectrum, my QH lives on a dirt pasture since she is such an easy keeper and is turned out to grass for only a few hours during the day. I read a lot about how this supplement is important especially for horses who don't have free access to grass or quality grass. She has dappled out for the first time in the 9 years I've owned her and just looks absolutely fantastic. She is always a member of the "clean plate club" so she has no issue with the powder falling to the bottom of the feed pan, she will spend 15 minutes after her bit of grain is gone just licking the bucket to get anything left!

I have used Elevate for a while now, before I even got my current horse. He had always done well with it and had managed to look amazing even in some rough conditions. He ended up being diagnosed with EPM last month, as a complete and total shock to me. We simply tested as a precaution. Elevate helped Captain incredibly to the point where we didn't know! He has since been treated for it and I don't think I will ever have a performance horse that dose not use this supplement. It is INCREDIBLY palatable, I had a horse that would not even eat apples and she LOVED this. I would recommend this for any horse that needs it!

I was a bit skeptical when my vet told me to try Vitamin E to help build muscle on a 15 year old thoroughbred. I put him on 3 scoops a day to start and in three months he's muscled and filled out well over his topline, back, and rump. This was the only change to his diet and his workload has remained the same. He's also put on weight in the right places. Very impressed!

My vet recommended vitamin E to support my horse's muscles due to his inability to push off his hind end (we have exhausted the joint treatments). After much research, I found that there are really 2 best products for bioavailability and purity - the other is a liquid, so I selected Elevate for ease of use. I appreciate that Elevate is straightforward vitamin E - nothing extra. I needed to start with a high dose, so the 2lb container was perfect for my needs (I hope to eventually get down to 1,000 IU daily & get this in my SmartPak for even more ease!). I added Elevate at the same time I made diet modifications (reduce starches; increase fat). This combination has worked magic for my warmblood gelding. I went from wearing huge spurs and getting into a battle every ride to him happily moving off my leg with no spurs.

A good economical source of natural vitamin E, but I was a bit frustrated to see "dextrose" listed as an ingredient on the bucket though it was not listed under "Ingredients" online. This was to be fed to four insulin resistant horses and two ulcer prone horses, so I would not have ordered had I known sugar was an ingredient.

I am disappointed with the results of this product. I had four horses tested for Vitamin E levels, all tested very low, they all went on Elevate beginning October 2019, beginning with liquid Elevate and switching over to Elevate powder February 1 2020. They were again tested May 20 2020 and came back very low still. These four horses have been receiving Elevate for 8 months at the recommended dosage by a veterinarian. I recommend testing before using any supplements and test again to be sure you are receiving results.
