A Healthy Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight supports skin, coat, gastric and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage.

The Ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 Fats in Common Oils

Choosing the right oil can be an excellent way to add cooler burning fuel to a horse’s diet, support a healthy body condition, coat health and more. Omega 3s are “good fats” required by every cell to properly function. Unable to produce adequate omegas on their own, horses must instead rely on their diet to provide these essential fatty acids that support a healthy level of inflammation. In contrast, omega-6 fatty acids (required in moderation), are pro-inflammatory and can have a systemic negative effect on equine health.

Corn Oil

Consider This

Many horse owners feed their horse corn oil when trying to provide additional calories for weight gain, especially in winter when pasture is limited. Unfortunately, corn oil contains a high amount of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are known to be pro-inflammatory and can contribute to health problems in the joint, with digestion, and skin and allergy health as well as many others. Healthy Weight is made from flax oil and is rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids to support a normal healthy inflammatory response.

“Rider is a 6-year-old purebred Arabian western horse. She’s had weight issues that other supplements just couldn’t tackle. I started her on Platinum Healthy Weight oil per advice from my vet, and this has been the only thing to keep weight on her. Not only that, but her hair coat is sleeker. She seems overall healthier. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!”
