SMART EARTH Cold-Pressed Camelina Oil Supplement for Horses
Besides being essential to your horse’s diet, the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in Camelina Oil have been shown to positively impact cell membrane response to trauma and infection as well as reducing inflammation. Recent research in horses has even shown that fatty acids may have the potential to help regulate insulin sensitivity.
Camelina Oil also contains naturally occurring Vitamin E that not only prevents rancidity of the product (having room temperature shelf life of up to 2 years) but also provides your horse with a potent anti-inflammatory in a form that can be easily digested.
Extracted from sustainable Camelina sativa plants that are harvested from small family owned farms, the oil is produced under cold compression to insure its beneficial nutrients are maintained.

PLANT BASED – The omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid found in camelina oil is the same form of omega-3 fatty acid found in the horse’s natural plant-based diet. The problem is that the majority of horse diets today are made up of dried forages that contain very little omega fatty acid due to the fact that these fatty acids are not heat stable. This means that while horses may consume plenty of omega-3 fatty acids from good quality pasture, when grass is dried to make hay the omega-3s are lost. Many of the oils and fat sources we have traditionally relied upon in equine diets such as corn oil, canola oil, and rice bran, contain very low levels of omega-3 fatty acids and over supply omega-6 fatty acids.
