Antioxidants are free radical scavengers that have a significant impact on the health of every cell in your horse's body. Though horses have their own natural antioxidant defense system, they often require additional supplementation to help ensure they have the proper level of antioxidants.

Free radicals are chemicals produced either as a result of normal metabolism or in response to exercise, inhalation of dust and air pollutants, ingestion of rancid feeds and exposure to ultraviolet light. Free radicals cause chain reactions that result in oxidative damage to proteins, lipids and DNA. Antioxidants are known as "free radical scavengers" and have the ability to terminate these chain reactions by removing free radicals and inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules.
When dietary fats are oxidized, they become "rancid." A measure of rancid fat in a feed or food item is its peroxide level. Foods with peroxide levels below 10mEQ/kg fat are considered safe and acceptable for human consumption. Although a similar guideline has not been established for horse feeds, many commercials equine feeds exceed this value. Research shows that feeding rancid fats increases the production of free radicals that damage tissues.
Antioxidants can help offset the damaging effects free radicals have on the body. Horses have their own antioxidant system know as an endogenous source of antioxidants, but it's important to know this supply may not always be sufficient, especially for athletic horses. In conjunction with reports from other species, many horses may benefit from consuming antioxidants.
In a recent study, the effects of free radicals were determined by measuring protein carbonyls, which are reliable markers of protein damage. Levels of protein carbonyls in horses fed a hay diet supplemented with Platinum Performance® Equine were 61% lower than in horses fed hay and a commercial feed that contained omega-3 fatty acids and had a peroxide value of 26 mEq/kg.
