Read more AEquine Omega Complete (EOC) is similar to our w-3 oil in that it is an omega-3 supplement that supplies DHA, the most available form of omega-3s. EOC uses fish oil to supply DHA, while w-3 oil uses microalgae which is a more environmentally friendly and palatable way to supply DHA. Interestingly, fish actually get their DHA from consuming microalgae so with w-3 oil, you're going straight to the source! Cost-wise, EOC costs around $27 per L, while w-3 oil is considerably more cost-effective at $11 per L. In EOC you get ~1g of DHA per 120ml while w-3 oil supplies 1.8g per 120ml serving. Both products are great at supplying DHA, but w-3 oil will be a better bang for your buck, so to speak.

If your horse is at a healthy body weight, a 100 mL feeding rate per day is recommended. If your horse is overweight, a 30 - 60 mL feeding rate is recommended. For heaves, you can also look into Spirulina which has been shown to support respiratory health. How long typically do users start to notice a change in the coat or arthritis of their horses? 0 votes QHow long typically do users start to notice a change in the coat or arthritis of their horses? AWithin a couple of months for the coat. With regards to the arthritis, it may take longer or it may not actually get noticeably better if there is too much cartilage degradation in the joint. What it will do is slow down the further degradation though, by reducing the inflammatory response.

What can I do for my horse who will not eat the w-3 oil when I first introduce it? 0 votes QWhat can I do for my horse who will not eat the w-3 oil when I first introduce it? AWe suggest introducing the oil a little bit at a time. Give just a few drops at first or you can mix it with a grain that your horse likes. The oil can also be soaked with the feeds you are giving. You may need to give it a few tries - horses have an incredibly good sense of smell!

AHi Michelle - Camelina oil has an omega-3 fatty acid profile similar to flax, but it is just more expensive. Our w-3 Oil is a combination of flax oil, soybean oil, DHA, and natural vitamin E. W-3 oil is mainly used to specifically supplement DHA, the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid typically found in fish. We use an algal source of DHA, as it is a more sustainable source and also more palatable. DHA has been shown to improve cognitive function, reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and improve cardiovascular performance to name a few of the benefits. All mammals can synthesize DHA from ALA (the omega-3 fatty acid found in plant sources like camelina and flax), but the conversion is less than 1%, so supplementation is the only way to achieve significantly higher levels in the body. How is the omega 3 higher than omega 6 when the primary ingredient in this product is soybean oil with a much higher omega 6:3 ration 0 votes QHow is the omega 3 higher than omega 6 when the primary ingredient in this product is soybean oil...... Read more AHi Summer - The reason we use soybean oil in the w-3 Oil formulation is to enhance palatability and increase stability of the DHA. DHA oxidizes rapidly and is not palatable on it's own. The addition of DHA and flax oil brings the omega-3:6 ratio in line to around 3:1. Can I feed this to a horse with Cushings/PPID?

Read more AHi Catherine,Sometimes part of the product might solidify and settle to the bottom over time. The best way to avoid this is to keep the oil in a consistent room-temperature environment and shake it up regularly. The solids at the bottom are completely safe to feed to your horse and are rich in DHA. We have recently reformulated the product to make it less likely for solids to form at the bottom of the container. How does w-3 oil compare to feeding hemp oil? 0 votes QHow does w-3 oil compare to feeding hemp oil? Aw-3 is specifically formulated to provide high levels of DHA, which is only found from marine sources. Hemp oil is like most other vegetable oils in that it contains higher levels of omega-6 than 3, with the exception of flax or camelina oils. Hemp does contain some GLA, which other vegetable oils do not, nor does the w-3. The benefits of GLA are less clear than the numerous studies showing the positive health benefits of supplementing DHA in the diet.

How would the effects of the two ratios compare? 0 votes QHow does your w-3 Oil compare to Camelina oil? I see they have different omega 3:6 ratios. How wo...... Read more Aw-3 Oil has an omega 3:6 ratio of around 3:1. Camelina oil has a ratio of 1.2-1.6:1.The w-3 oil is really a DHA supplement, which is only found in algae and fish oil. It's meant to supplement DHA, as there is none in the normal diet of the horse and the conversion of ALA to DHA in all mammals is quite poor - so providing DHA in the diet is the most effective way for increasing levels. DHA is a potent anti-inflammatory, helps with focus, heart health etc.When looking at ratios, you really have to analyze the whole diet. For example, corn oil is high in omega-6, but if you're only adding a little bit, the overall omega-3:6 ratio is not going to be impacted much as the forage portion will be contributing a significant portion of the omega-3 fatty acids.If you're feeding a lot of grain/fat supplements on the other hand, it may be skewing the diet higher in Omega-6 then you would definitely want to look at adding flax or camelina oil to bring the ratio back to 1:1. How efficiently can horses absorb DHA if it is not normally part of their diet? 0 votes QHow efficiently can horses absorb DHA if it is not normally part of their diet? AFatty acids are all efficiently absorbed. There are a lot of studies in this field. Can your w-3 oil be given to dogs? 0 votes QCan your w-3 oil be given to dogs? AOur w-3 Oil can be given to dogs. Is w-3 Oil or Camelina Oil better for horses with arthritis? 0 votes QIs w-3 Oil or Camelina Oil better for horses with arthritis?

I am wondering if your W3 oil would also assist with weight gain or maintaining weight? 0 votes QI am wondering if your W3 oil would also assist with weight gain or maintaining weight? AIf the goal is just to put on weight, canola oil is the least expensive option. w-3 contains DHA which helps with joints, focus and general health and is not found in any plant based oils. All oil/fat are essentially the same caloric density, so as to the efficacy of weight management, they would all be equal. How does W-3 Oil compare to Equine Omega Complete? 0 votes QHow does W-3 Oil compare to Equine Omega Complete? ACompared to EOC, our w-3 Oil is much more cost-effective (about half the price) and contains a better overall balance of fatty acids, with a blend of soybean and flax oils. It also contains high levels of DHA, which is an omega-3 fatty acid sourced from marine sources. EOC uses fish oil, which can sometimes be hard to get horses to eat. Our DHA source is derived from marine algae, so there is less of a smell and it is generally better accepted.
