Benefits For Horses

When XLINT is digested the Omega oils (or Essential Fatty Acids) are incorporated into the cell membranes of the horses but since your horse cannot naturally produce these oils, the Omega Oils must be added to your horses feed to allow the horse to benefit from the Essential Fatty Acids and feeding cold pressed flax oil is the best way for this to happen.
Xlint is very high in Omega-3 and fibre , also called alpha-linolenic (ALA), which is one of three essential fatty acids that your horse needs and cannot make for itself. Omega-3s are needed by every cell in the body. Among other things, an ample supply should help ensure that cell membranes stay flexible so that cells can get nutrients easily.
ALA Omega-3 fatty acid is the parent acid of EPA & DHA which are very beneficial in the body, for example, Omega-3 is a known anti-inflammatory.
Short term benefits for your horse may include improved skin and coat condition, fewer skin allergies and fighting sweet itch.
The longer term benefits are numerous and may improve hoof quality, has the potential to increase bone density, along with improved joint health, reduced muscle soreness, increased tissue elasticity which may reduce the incidence of EIPH in performance horses. In addition, mares milk which is higher in Omega 3 can result in healthier foals with a higher resistance to infection.
Specific potential benefits worthy of more explanation are listed to the right.
