NuVet Plus® Ingredients

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that includes eight naturally occurring compounds.   Each of these compounds exhibits different biological activities.   The most widely accepted biological function of vitamin E is related to its antioxidant properties.  Vitamin E is the most effective chain-breaking lipid-soluble antioxidant in the biological membrane, where it contributes to membrane stability.   It protects critical cellular structures against damage from oxygen free radicals.

Vitamin E is one of the " stress vitamins" (C, E and B-complex) that are utilized at much higher rates during periods of stress.   Stressful situations for your dog or cat may include travel, sickness, x-rays, loneliness, lack of direct sunlight, loud noises or music and owner absences.

Vitamin E can also be depleted by mineral and vegetable oils.   These are often used in processed tuna, and should be avoided.

Vitamin E works synergistically with Selenium.   Each helps the other to be absorbed by the body more efficiently than if each nutrient was present alone.

Deficiencies in Vitamin E may lead to reproductive failure, nutritional "muscular dystrophy", hemolytic anemia, and neurological and immunological abnormalities.

Recent research has shown Vitamin E, through its antioxidant properties, can significantly improve immune responses and reduce the risk for coronary heart disease.
