E.S.tong

Each ml contains:

Vitamin E 68 mg

Sodium Selenite 1.5 mg

It is a milky white emulsion liquid.

Vitamin E: It is an antioxidant and is necessary for the stability and function of muscle tissues. It has a similar role to selenium and each can, to some extent, replace the other.

Selenium: The essential role of selenium is as part of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, whose function is to prevent free-radical damage to tissue.

There is a complex interaction between the requirements of selenium and vitamin E whereby either may substitute in part for the other. A deficiency is most frequently seen in young, fast growing animals, causing degeneration of cardiac, respiratory and skeletal muscles and neurone degeneration in horses.

E.S.tong is indicated for use in the prevention and treatment of selenium-tocopherol deficiency syndrome in horses, cattle, sheep, goats and dogs. Including:

White muscle disease in ewes and lambs.

White muscle disease in calves and breeding bulls.

STD-associated myositis in horses.

As an aid in alleviating and controlling inflammation, pain and lameness associated with certain arthropathies in dogs.
