Grape Seed Extract is one of many antioxidant nutrients Gateway offers in their supplements, and it is perhaps the most versatile. Antioxidants play a huge role in the overall health of horses, especially if your horse is involved in competition. You will see it in several of Gateway's products, but it is also offered as a stand-alone antioxidant product called SU-PER® Grape Seed Extract.

Oxidation is the natural process by which fats, carbohydrates and proteins are converted by the body into energy, water, and carbon dioxide. While oxidation is a normal process the body must perform in order to provide energy, the by-product of this process is free radicals. These free radicals are highly unstable, and in an attempt to stabilize themselves, they feed on healthy cells all around them. Free radicals can quickly damage healthy cells in the body, and begin a chain reaction of damage that quickly spreads. But fear not - free radicals can be neutralized by antioxidants! These nutrients can destroy free radicals and create stability within the body, allowing healthy cells to thrive once again.

While SU-PER® Grape Seed Extract is a great choice for any horse in need of antioxidant supplementation, it can be particularly helpful for the performance horse. Grape Seed is one of the most powerful antioxidants available, and is reported to be 20 times stronger than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E. In addition to its powerful antioxidant properties, SU-PER® Grape Seed Extract also provides additional benefits such as supporting proper circulation, lessening the effects of lactic acid buildup (typing up), and helping to lessen recovery time after competition.
