It is particularly rich in unsaturated fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids, meaning they must be taken in through the diet since the body cannot produce them on its own. In addition to Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, flaxseed oil also contains Vitamin E and other essential nutrients and is protein-free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gs_text gs_mdr gsqna_renderText18\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"gs_cit_stry_pre gs_cit_stry_sm\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gs_p\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlaxseed is one of the most beneficial supplements you can add to a horse’s diet. It is the richest plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that reduces inflammation, supports skin and coat health, and helps balance the immune system. Most horse owners notice visible improvements in coat quality within a few weeks, and the research backs up benefits that go well beyond appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Omega-3s Matter for Horses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical equine diet of hay and grain is heavy in omega-6 fatty acids and relatively low in omega-3s. That imbalance matters because omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids compete for the same metabolic pathways in the body. When omega-6 dominates, the body produces more compounds that promote inflammation. When omega-3 intake rises, it shifts the balance toward anti-inflammatory responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\"\u003eFlaxseed is roughly 45% fat by weight, and about 58% of that fat is ALA omega-3. That means every 100 grams of flaxseed delivers around 26 grams of omega-3. This makes it an efficient, affordable way to correct the omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance that most domesticated horses live with. The downstream effects touch everything from joint comfort to respiratory health to how the immune system handles allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Equifox","offers":[{"title":"2L","offer_id":42428756754514,"sku":null,"price":320.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5L","offer_id":42428756787282,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/6055\/files\/FlaxseedoilEquifox.jpg?v=1779801403","url":"https:\/\/www.tackshop.co.za\/products\/equifox-flaxseed-oil","provider":"Tackshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
