Re[2]: [RC] E-SE Redo - Roger RittenhouseI believe Susan's comments sum up the E-Se issue? After I use the current supply of Uckele E-Se (or sell it?) :), I will get the plain Se supplement from Uckele and the super size jar of Vit E gel caps At least that way I can control the amount of each they all get. Here is one more question, what about the different forms of Se. From what I can determine from labels MOST mfgrs do not tell you the form of Se. Some use a yeast culture, one says sodium selenite - so does it really matter that much. I think MegaSel uses a very absorbable liquid form. I do know that product works well. I increased the blood Se from 95 to 180 in one month with 2 oz per day. Roger R I was advised - my comment about the oxidation of Vit E was not fully correct? The rate of oxidation - and lose of benefit- depends on the type of Vit-E used in the powder mixes. SG> That's true, some forms oxidize faster than others. But your original SG> comment via Sarah Ralston is still more or less true for practical purposes. SG> The more any form of vitamin E is exposed to light, heat and air, the faster SG> it will oxidize and thus be unavailable to the horse as an antioxidant once SG> ingested. I understood ALL forms of VIT-E are' oxidizers" - that is, they function the same. SG> Correct. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
