ALGAE-TO-OMEGA™ – EQUINE DHA SUPPLEMENT

CONTAINS 17% DHA, A POTENT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EQUINE OMEGA 3 FATTY ACID

Algae-To-Omega™ is produced from a pure, vegetarian source of algae and contains the potent anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). It does not contain any fish products and delivers 5 grams of DHA per serving.

Horse Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega 3 fatty acids are required by the horse and must come from the diet.  Most equine diets contain more Omega 6 fatty acids (soy, corn, canola) and not enough Omega 3 fatty acids.

• Omega 3 fatty acids are not made into harmful (series 2 – pro – inflammatory) prostaglandins (PG) like Omega 6’s, which increase inflammation
• Omega 3 fatty acids are converted into PG series 3, which induce anti-inflammatory effects unlike  Omega 6’s

Kansas State University found that  Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) was reduced in Thoroughbreds after they were supplemented with DHA for 83 days. The benefits of DHA was also reported by the University of Liege in Belgium when they found an decrease in the red blood cell membrane fluidity in exercised horses that were fed a diet enriched with DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for four weeks.
