WHY SUPPLEMENT with Omega-3 Algal oil

DHA Algal Oil Benefits to Horse

Horses do not obtain the long chain fatty acid DHA from their diet. They convert the essential fatty acid ALA into DHA, but the conversion is not efficient and may lead to sub-optimal levels. Supplementing can avoid this and enhance cognitive function, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce inflammatory processes.

DHA is synthesized in the horse’s body from ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid), but the conversion efficiency is extremely low and it must be obtained from dietary sources to elevate levels for improved health benefits.

DHA from marine algae- a source that is much more sustainable and concentrated than DHA derived from fish. Better yet, the resulting oil doesn’t smell or taste like fish. Horses love the taste.

Increasing the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your horse’s diet can decrease the production of inflammatory molecules in cells. This can result in better regulation of the inflammatory response that stems from conditions such as:

Laminitis

Equine Metabolic Disorder

Insulin Resistance

Degenerative joint disease

Allergies

Chronic lower airway diseases
