Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I defrost E3 Live™ FOR HORSES?
If you have only one horse and are feeding less than two ounces a day, use the following guidelines:
Keep frozen until ready to use, then place bottle in refrigerator to defrost. Pour off enough for a 7-day supply and put in refrigerator. Place remainder of bottle back in freezer until ready to defrost again.
If you are feeding 2 ounces or more per day, because you want to feed heavily or you have more than one horse, there is no need to pour off and refreeze. There are 16 ounces in one bottle.
For immediate defrosting, place bottle in cool water for 15 minutes.
Tip:
Refreeze your E3 Live™FOR HORSES™ in 1 ounce ice cube trays. Place a "E3 Live™For Horses Cube" on top your horse's feed. Thus making it easier for stable management in feeding all your horses an equal amount.

2. Can I refreeze a bottle of E3 Live™FOR HORSES?
If you defrosted the bottle of E3 Live™FOR HORSES in your refrigerator or in a cool bowl of water, and it hasn't been thawed for more than a few hours, it should be fine. Just pour off the portion for the week that you need and put it in the refrigerator, then refreeze the rest.
Tip #1:
Take it out of the freezer and place in a bowl of water for 15 minutes, pour out what you need for today and refrigerate the bottle. No trick to it!
Tip #2:
After thawing a bottle, pour it into an ice cube tray and refreeze to use as E3 Live™FOR HORSES cubes. In warm weather, a cube will thaw on the horse’s feed as he eats.
For Owners: you can also use it in your smoothie!

3. How can I be sure every bottle is consistent in quality?
From the moment AFA is harvested to its final packaging, our harvestor works with only the most highly trained and qualified staff. Only our AFA is handled with such care from start to finish. Factors contributing to this quality include: where and how it is harvested, keeping the AFA cold at all times, superior filtration and storage, and ongoing quality-control testing of all of our products. All E3 Live/AFA™For Horses products are tested thoroughly by independent USDA certified labs for food safety, shelf-life and various other purity tests.
The benefits of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae are directly related to the care and attention given to sourcing and harvesting the product. Our quality care begins with the selection of the freshest AFA "blooms" from pristine Eagle Ridge. The harvesting is quickly followed by rapid chilling of the AFA to 34 to 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, our E3 Live™FOR HORSES is further purified by careful centrifugation, leaving a product chilled and scrupulously clean. E3 Live™FOR HORSES is handled expeditiously from harvest to freezer. Our quality control parameters, coupled with our proprietary final processing, yields the Lake's potent source of AFA.
Unless you know the source of your AFA, there is no guarantee of quality. E3 Live™FOR HORSES and other E3 AFA™FOR HORSES products are harvested by a highly competent harvesting team, and staff of engineers in our industry.

5. How soon (after using E3 Live™FOR HORSES) will I notice a difference?
The beneficial effects of E3 Live™FOR HORSES and E3 AFA™FOR HORSES in the body can be subtle as it works to provide long-term protection and well-being.
Horses: Obviously, horses can’t tell us how they are feeling. However, owners, farriers and veterinarians would see evidence of good health in the hair and hoof first. Trainers would notice mental clarity, due to the fact that the horse is better able to make good decisions more quickly. Other factors: Good farrier work, regular exercise and what else is in the horse’s diet, can enhance or retard how quickly the effects are realized.
Owners: Some of us may experience noticeable changes within a few weeks of use - others may notice differences right away or, conversely, notice no effect whatsoever.
It is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly in order to reap the full, long-term benefits of AFA.

Absolutely. In fact, both the liquid E3 Live™FOR HORSES and our Refractance-Window dried form are favorites among veterinarians who successfully treat nutritional deficiencies in dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, horses, and other animals.
GENERAL FEEDING GUIDELINES FOR SMALL ANIMALS*:
Start feeding at 1/2 the recommended amount for the first five days, then increase to recommended daily amount.
Dogs & Cats (under 10 lbs): feed a few drops or flakes per day.

Dogs & Cats (from 61 to 100 lbs): feed 3/4 to 1.5 teaspoon of E3 Live™FOR HORSES OR E3 AFA™FOR HORSES Flake per day.
Birds: We recommend a sprinkle a day on food or water. Approximately 1/8 teaspoon of E3 Live™FOR HORSES OR E3 AFA™FOR HORSES Flake.

*The above recommendations are guidelines - no one knows your pet better than you. Some animals take to the AFA right away, while others may need time to get used to it. Trust your instincts and manage your animal's progress accordingly. When you see how it helps your animal, you will want to try it for yourself. It is the same high-quality E3 Live™FOR HORSES or E3 AFA™FOR HORSES for both animals and humans, we do not believe in feeding our pets any less quality than we would eat ourselves!

10. How much can I use each day?
GENERAL FEEDING GUIDELINES FOR HORSES*
Hoof or Health Issues: feed 1 -3 oz. E3 Live™FOR HORSES or (1-2 tablespoons E3 AFA™ FOR HORSES) per day. Active Horses: feed 1.0 oz. E3Live™ (or 1 teaspoon - 2 tablespoons E3 AFA™FOR HORSES ) per day. Inactive Horses (Maintenance): feed 1 teaspoon - 0.5 oz. E3 Live™ (or 1 teaspoon E3 AFA™FOR HORSES) per day. Performance horses requiring high stamina and endurance may want to increase daily amount a few days prior to competition day.
We recommend syringing the first ounce in his mouth, just like a wormer. After that he will recognize it and look for it in his food. You can keep on syringing if you like or just mix E3 Live™FOR HORSES in his feed, a teaspoon tucked into a flake of hay, or a frozen cube of E3 Live™FOR HORSES on top of feed or hay. Horses love it.
Owners: No two of us are alike. For most of us, we recommend starting with 1 teaspoon per day. Work your way up at your own pace.
