w-3 Oil contains vegetable and marine sources of natural fatty acids, as well as the essential fatty acid DHA, which is not found in vegetable oil/fat sources.
w-3 Oil is one of the only equine supplements based on DHA synthesized by microalgae, which has all the benefits of fish oil but is much more palatable to the horse.
Finally... a high-quality supplementary oil for your horse that goes above and beyond at a great price.
WHY SUPPLEMENT WITH W-3 OIL?
Supplementing fat in your horse's diet can be beneficial at any stage of life. However, w-3 Oil is more than just an equine fat supplement. It's an extra-enriched oil that provides your horse with the essential fatty acid DHA not found in plant-based diets. It's also enriched with high levels of vitamin E.
Horses do not obtain the long-chain fatty acid DHA from their diet. They convert the essential fatty acid ALA into DHA, but this conversion is not efficient and can lead to sub-optimal levels. Supplementation can avoid this and improve cognitive function, improve cardiovascular health and reduce inflammatory processes.
By increasing the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your horse's diet, you can reduce the production of inflammatory molecules in the cells. This can lead to better regulation of the inflammatory response that results from conditions such as :
Antioxidant protection with Vitamin E
Every bottle of w-3 Oil contains high levels of natural vitamin E, also known as d-alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin often found in very low quantities in modern equine diets.
Studies involving horses show that natural vitamin E is more bioavailable and more easily absorbed and retained in tissues than synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol).
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant alongside vitamin C, glutathione and selenium to combat oxidative stress. It acts by protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane phospholipids and plasma lipoproteins, helping to improve cell membrane integrity.
Supplementing equine diets with natural vitamin E, in combination with essential fatty acids, can reduce oxidative tissue damage resulting from :
