Omega 3 oils are a group of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be produced by the horse. To benefit from these oils they need to be supplemented in the diet.
For the Omega 3 oil to be utilized effectively and efficiently it should contain the valuable longer chain fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These Omega 3 fatty acids are only found in fish oil. PERFORMA 3® Oil contains fish oil, allowing the horse to derive the full benefits of the oil immediately.
Plant sources of Omega 3 oils contain Linolenic acid that needs to be converted to EPA and DHA before it can be utilized by the horse.
HYGAIN® PERFORMA 3® is a rich, natural source of Omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids. By combining Omega 3 rich vegetable and fish oils with added garlic, PERFORMA 3® contains high levels of usable EPA and DHA's.
