Why isn't my horse absorbing vitamin E? In this episode, we cover the difference between natural d-alpha-tocopherol and synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, why horses on hay are almost always starting from deficiency, how oxidative stress from iron overload, high-PUFA fats, and inflammation depletes vitamin E faster than you can replace it, and how to actually troubleshoot non-response.
