Healthy Weight
A Healthy Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight supports skin, coat, gastric and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage. It is made from flax oil, a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it a healthy alternative to corn oil. The 1-gallon Healthy Weight now comes in an easy tip-to-measure container made from a material that protects the formula from degradation due to UV light. Administration of the 5-gallon Healthy Weight oil is easier with the Healthy Weight Pump, sold separately.

The Ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 Fats in Common Oils
Choosing the right oil can be an excellent way to add cooler burning fuel to a horse’s diet, support a healthy body condition, coat health and more. Omega 3s are “good fats” required by every cell to properly function. Unable to produce adequate omegas on their own, horses must instead rely on their diet to provide these essential fatty acids that support a healthy level of inflammation. In contrast, omega-6 fatty acids (required in moderation), are pro-inflammatory and can have a systemic negative effect on equine health.

Corn Oil
Consider This
Many horse owners feed their horse corn oil when trying to provide additional calories for weight gain, especially in winter when pasture is limited. Unfortunately, corn oil contains a high amount of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are known to be pro-inflammatory and can contribute to health problems in the joint, with digestion, and skin and allergy health as well as many others. Healthy Weight is made from flax oil and is rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids to support a normal healthy inflammatory response.

Rider

“Rider is a 6-year-old purebred Arabian western horse. She’s had weight issues that other supplements just couldn’t tackle. I started her on Platinum Healthy Weight oil per advice from my vet, and this has been the only thing to keep weight on her. Not only that, but her hair coat is sleeker. She seems overall healthier. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!”
