Omega-3

- eQuus Care Nutrition Omega 3 is a stabilised dry source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid).
BENEFITS:
- Maintain joint flexibility
- Antioxident
- Promote healthy hooves
- Promote a healthy, glossy coat
- Maintain hormonal balance
- Maintain a healthy heart and good circulationOmega 3 is highly unstable: it is destroyed in hay making; it is destroyed in the process that stabilises most commercially available vegetable oils; and fresh sources, such as ground flax seed, quickly oxidise and go rancid. eQuus Care Nutrition's Omega-3 is an easy to use, easy to store dry product: the essential fatty acid is encapsulated by a protective starch coating. This coating allows for the easy release of fatty acid in the digestive system, but protects it from oxidation and moisture. -
