What Makes PreOx the Ultimate Antioxidant for Horses?
The Right Stuff in Just the Right Amount
It's all here in PreOx--vitamins and trace minerals put together in just the right amounts. You don't need to worry about too much or too little of anything! We felt that some competitor's antioxidant products might have levels of some vitamins that were actually too high--especially if you have other sources of vitamin and trace mineral supplementation in your diet! See the complete product analysis below!
Added Grapeseed Extract for Greater Antioxidant Power!
Grapeseed extract is a powerful antioxidant and we've added it to our formulation that will provide 1,200 mg of high purity extract per two ounce feeding. A nice addition with wonderful benefits for your horse!
Flaxseed Base
We've used our food-grade flaxseed meal as a base for our PreOx formulation. Not only does it taste and smell wonderful, it's loaded with beneficial Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids! In fact, each two ounce serving of PreOx will deliver over 5 grams of Omega-3!
Palatability
Some antioxidant products have an admittedly "offensive" taste and/or aroma and horses may have to be enticed to eat them. We've added the fresh sweet taste of peppermint to our PreOx product and most horses will love it! And unlike most products out there, PreOx offers guaranteed acceptance--if your horse won't eat PreOx, ask for a full refund!
Attention to Detail
When you compare antioxidant products you'll notice a difference in appearance. Some simply look like they've been "thrown together". When you examine our PreOx product you'll notice that the particle sizing is very consistent yielding an excellent blend and product stability. Unlike poorly designed and manufactured products, PreOx will not settle and sort out--you get the nutrients you need in each serving right down to the bottom of the container. There's less dust as well!
Major Attributes of PreOx Antioxidant Concentrate
Vitamins A and D3: We were concerned about the possibility of too much Vitamin A and D3 in some diets. With increased supplement use and the use of prepared feeds containing further vitamin supplementation we were concerned that horse owners might be bringing their Vitamin A and D3 levels into troublesome levels. We settled on a daily dosage (with the 2 ounce/highest serving level) of 30,000 IU of Vitamin A and 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3. We feel that these are certainly adequate levels for this type of product and offer a bit more in the way of a margin of error for the horse owner using several sources of vitamin supplementation.
Vitamin Sources: All vitamins used in the production of HorseTech’s PreOx are of the highest quality available to the industry. Vitamins are purchased directly from several World Class vitamin producers including, Roche, Rhone-Poulenc, etc.
Freshness: Because we are a single source supplier (direct from manufacturer to consumer) our products are generally shipped out of our door within 10 days of manufacture. With a product of this nature (high concentration of vitamins in a mix with trace minerals) we feel that freshness is a key. Our direct to the consumer model ensures that the vitamins you pay for are in the product when you receive/use it!
Grapeseed Extract: A powerful antioxidant and source of beneficial bioflavinoids. The two ounce serving offers a full 1,200 mg of premium quality extract. When used at the 2 ounce per day rate, PreOx will provide 1 mg per pound of body weight for the 1,200 lb. horse.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Beneficial in many ways, the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are a natural part of the PreOx product. Like most HorseTech supplements, PreOx features food-grade flaxseed as its base material. Each two ounce serving of PreOx will contain approximately one ounce of natural flax and a corresponding level of approximately 5+ grams of Omega-3 fatty acids. The fresh taste and aroma of flax also enhances the palatability of this vitamin and trace mineral rich product.
Palatability: Products of this nature can be unpalatable (one company’s popular antioxidant product indicates on the label that their product’s taste and aroma may be “offensive”!). Yes, our product does offer high vitamin supplementation and does utilize the Zinpro brand trace mineral complexes, but it is still quite palatable. Most of our flax based products are naturally aromatic and flavorful. With only a few of our products do we feel that further “flavoring” may be beneficial. Given the concentration of this product we felt that a flavoring might be beneficial. The PreOx product features a peppermint flavor/aroma with a small amount of sweetener (no sugars).
Selenium: Each ounce of PreOx will provide one (1) mg of Selenium. The maximum serving of two ounces will therefore provide two (2) mg per day.
Trace Minerals: 100% of all the trace mineral supplementation supplied by the PreOx product is sourced exclusively from Zinpro Corp.’s amino acid complexes. We have used the Zinpro products with great results in many of our products.
B-Vitamins: PreOx offers quite an extensive set of B-Complex vitamins and the levels provided by the standard servings are significant.
Iodine: Each ounce of PreOx will provide one (1) mg of Iodine. The maximum serving of two ounces will therefore provide two (2) mg per day.
Vitamin D3: Supplied 100% by Colorguard D3, a very stable form of Vitamin D3. A visible blue material (similar in look to copper sulfate).
Flaxseed Meal: HorseTech utilized a premium grade of flax that is made for the human/bakery market. This product is manufactured using a low temperature “micronizing” process whereby the flax seeds are actually sliced with high speed cutters (at low temps). Compared to rolling, crushing or hammering, this provides a much more stable product. The product has a naturally fresh aroma and a taste that is agreeable to most horses.
Consistency of Blend: You will notice that the particle sizing and the consistency of the product is excellent—especially when compared to some product offerings in this category. The consistent particle sizing means a more consistent initial blend and less likelihood that the product will suffer from any settling out of ingredients.
Low Dust: The natural attributes of the base material assure that dustiness is not an issue.
Purity: PreOx does not contain any drugs, medications.

ATTENTION: We do not suggest that you use PreOx in combination with our Glanzen and ReitSport products which also contain organic trace minerals. When used together, there would be a doubling-up of the trace mineral levels as both products contain Zinpro's daily recommended dosage for these organic trace minerals.
