I think it’s 8,500 IU/kg or for a serving size 200g yielding 1020 IU
Was this in response to me? If so I am confused. Are you saying one serving of Omniety delivers1020 IU?
Yes
Keep in mind too that most horses don’t need 4000IU+ of E, so for most horses, that Purica scoop could be cut in half.
My guys won’t eat a lot of the MadBarn stuff, including the E. They do gobble up the crunchy Greenhawk E.
I’ve been using platinum performance vitamin e powder but just ordered the greenline vitamin e from Greenhawks sale. I’m in canada too. The platinum performance product is very expensive so I’m crossing my fingers for the more economical option working well enough.

I like the herbs for horses vitamin E (not with selenium). It contains 4400 iu/scoop of natural vitamin E and I only feed 1/2 scoop (10g or about 2200iu) so the container will last about 200 days for one horse. I give it to 4 of my ponies so go through it a little quicker, but its the cheapest I have found and is very palatable.
If I’m in a pinch, I will pick up a bag of Mad Barns powdered E. Sometimes I don’t place my herbs for horses order in soon enough so I grab a bag of Mad Barns product from a feed store as everyone seems to carry it. It is 1000iu of natural E per small scoop and the bag has about 375 servings at that dose for around $80.

When I run out of what I have I will try this. I have human vit E but the boy can somehow detect the capsules in soaked beet pulp and spit them out whole!
Kentucky Performance products makes Elevate, a water soluble vitamin E in liquid form. A two ml serving has 1000IU vitamin E. And it’s available from a few different places in Canada.
It’s fairly thick, the serving is tiny, and seems to be palatable. I just drizzle it over their grain or a treat.

FWIW, Elevate is quite $$$ compared to Emcelle which is the same micellized technology as Elevate. Emcelle is the cheapest of the 3 products of that type. Nano-E is the 3rd one

I don’t believe we can get Emcelle in Canada. At least I’ve never seen it, and a quick Google search doesn’t show any Canadian retailers.
Nano-E is similar in price to Elevate here.

In eastern Ontario I use Pureform vitamin E. 3000iu per serving. It’s also a powder, low volume.
Greenhawk Greenline vitamin is not worth buying. I had my 4th horse on it before he tested low on vitamin E. I did use Elevate powder (vet recommended at the time) for a few years before switching to Pureform.

Can’t give straight product recommendations but keep in mind that you can feed probably half as much IUs of a water soluble Vit E (so the liquid Elevate and others of that type) as you would feed of any other form of Vit E. When I did the math for cost of elevate vs emcelle it was significantly cheaper to use the emcelle. We’ve also seen great improvements in all of our horses’ vit e levels since switching to feeding LESS vit e than we were before.
I just went to the pureform website and don’t see vitamin E as a single ingredient. Am I looking in the wrong places? I see (Synthetic) Vit E & Selenium - is that what you use?

No, it’s not. I hope they haven’t discontinued it!
Close, it’s 4248IU in their 1 scoop serving size of 2.85gm (2850mg) of Vit E

Just heard back from Purica. It’s 1,995 IU per scoop (where a 9.3g scoop contains 2.85g Vit E).
They’re saying that 2.85 g vitamin e (d-alpha tocopheral) = 1995 IU?
That math doesn’t track.
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminE-HealthProfessional/
“To convert from mg to IU:
1 mg of alpha-tocopherol is equivalent to 1.49 IU of the natural form or 2.22 IU of the synthetic form.”
If a scoop is 1995 IU, then there’s 1.34 g vit e per dose, not 2.85 g.

Not cheaper than Ultra Cruz overall, but pretty cheap if you just want to bump up vit e a little in the winter months:
Yes. The math sure doesn’t track. I had been thinking 4248 IU per serving seemed too good to be true.
But, not to make a big deal out of it I’ve moved on to something else. Just wanted to update is all.
