EO-3 OMEGA 3 SUPPLEMENT

EO-3

Omega 3 Supplement

EO-3 is a rich source of the long chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA in a palatable liquid form.

EO-3 should be fed to horses of all classes and levels of work, to provide a source of beneficial long-chain omega-3 fatty acids to improve the critical omega-3 : 6 ratio in the diet.

Research conducted in both humans and animals has found that the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA found in EO-3 have been shown to:

. Have a central role in maintenance of general health

. Aid sub-fertile stallions and mares

. Aid mares to increase colostral antibodies and passive transfer to the foal

. Have a positive effect on bone metabolism

. Aid in reducing inflammatory responses in joints. hooves and skin

. Improve vitamin E status and anti-oxidant function

. Reduce exercise induced bronchoconstriction

. Increase red cell flexibility

. Enhance immune function

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in a number of vegetable oils eg canola or linseed oil. These oils contain the short chain form, linoleic acid, which must be converted in the body to the active omega-3 forms EPA and DHA. Only fish oil provides a direct source of EPA and DHA.

EO-3 is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids provided from fish oils (cold water species), Many fish oils are not very palatable or well accepted. However, Kentucky Equine Research has addressed this issue and has specially designed and tested EO-3 for its palatability and stability.
