Omega 3 Fatty Acid - Found predominantly in cold water fish, green leafy vegetables, some berry oils, whole grains, legumes and nuts, Omega 3 is an important part of the diet for not only humans but horses as well. It is important to note that Omega 3 is best utilized by a horses body in a 1:4 ratio (omega 3 to omega 6). Since most diets include an over abundance of omega 6, it is important to add sources of omega 3. The seabuckthorn berry, and in turn Seabuck Complete offer a stellar 1:1 ratio of these omegas.
Here are some of the major benefits to horses from omega 3.
- Can reduce inflammation - important for performing horses doing any strenuous activity.
- Increases levels of blood plasma and red blood cells.
- Can increase not only sperm quality, but also sperm quantity in stallions.
- Helps maintain healthy brain function.
- Helps regulate metabolic processes.
Researchers have just scratch the surface with studies about the positive effects of omega 3 in horses. Look for more studies to be released in the near future. SeaBuck Complete, a health and performance horse supplement, is already being integrated into the diets of many horses around the United States and Canada. Results speak for themselves as horse owners rave about what SeaBuck Complete has done for their horses.
